Aldo Pay It Forward Campaign!

3/03/2017

Today, we're posting a different kind of post it's a recap post because this was a wonderful experience we could not just leave it at that so we had to tell you all about the Aldo Pay It Forward Campaign. Where we reached at 7:30 AM and there were already 4/5 people who had reached before us and were already in line !

We shall begin by showing you the amazing line up of crowds that had come from all over Bahrain to attend the 2 hour extravaganza!

That was outside, now let's take you all the way inside up to the ALDO store.

Everyone was trying to keep themselves busy on their phones or by talking to their neighbors as the whole mall was closed.

Now, as you reached the store i.e - at the end of the line, just before our turn we got these cards , which we had to give inside along with our slightly used shoes after which we got to pick any pair of shoes for completely free.

The excitement got to me thus the blurry picture!

Inside, everything was quite calm before the timer hit as we all had 15 minutes to pick a pair and everyone got to try on two pairs before they finalized what they wanted! The catch was that it was for only two hours (9AM to 11AM), they were letting in 25 customers at a time for only fifteen minutes.

Once, the timer hit the store was buzzing with excitement and happy kind of chaos, people were running from one side of the store to the other trying to decide which pair they'd like to get as we could try on only two different types before we finalized.

He was in shock with the choice variety as you can see!

It wasn't just him, we all were spoiled for choice it was their latest AW'16 collection.

This is what I picked for my little sister.

The staff were all working at an amazing speed to cater to all twenty five of us in the given time frame. It honestly felt like we were in a live game show hehe.

One more thing, as we were leaving the staff were clapping and thanking us I mean come on how much more sweeter could they be, they were thanking us for our donations and we already got pay back as new shoes.

Last but certainly not the least, I took this picture when I was leaving the store leaving behind the remainder of our batch of people still trying to make their choices. Oh and one more thing as we left the people in the line waiting were staring at us I felt so guilty lol for being in the first batch but the I reminded myself that I got up at 5:30am to be here, life is all about choices right?!

All in all, it was an amazing initiative by one of the most prominent handbags and shoes brand in the world. Glad Sulmaniya Rotary Club took the partnership and responsibility to give the needy shoes just before winter began and what a winter it's been.

Till the next post,

Take Care you'll

Anne Klein Store & A/W '16 Collection Review

9/27/2016

Assalamalaikum Everyone,

I see many of you have already started participating in our Third Anniversary Giveaway go to our previous post and enter if you'd like to be one of our three winners anyways getting back to today's post topic - we visited the Newly refurbished Anne Klein Store located near Gate 10 in Seef Mall , Manama.

Alright, so we know you all want to check out the newly refurbished store too so without further a due let me take you all around the store literally , beginning from the right of the store all the way to the extreme left side which is where the latest collection has been stocked up,

I loved their handbags variety and collection and the fact that they also have a beautiful collection of earrings and necklace sets as you can see below (I tried taking a close up of it too)

Moving on to the center displays of the shop from right side to the left including part of their A/W collection handbags and shoes from their Anne Klein Fit Range which are just so super comfortable I can't brag enough!

See the last image above, those are all from the A.K - Autumn/Winter '16 Collection, they all are just so apt for formal and casual wear too, I personally found it to be a perfect mix of both types of handbags.

Part of their wallets lined next to the Cashier.

After the cashier counter (which I for some reason forgot to click) on the extreme left side end of the store display is the next part of the Autumn/Winter '16 Collection featuring warm colored formal handbags perfect for the upcoming weather change which I'm looking forward to as winter is my favorite season of the year!

I got something from the above pictures shelf , can you guess what I got? This below view is from the inside to the outside of the store.

The staff from the store pictured below were very welcoming and cooperative, they talked me through the visual order of the collection after which they assisted me in picking a handbag and were super patient when I couldn't figure out which pair of heels to finalize hehe!

Overall, I loved the refurbished store as it gives the customer a classy and luxurious feel from the time they enter the store and the way it is visually organized , makes it super easy to find what you're looking for it - now this it could be a bag,heels,necklace or something as simple as a wallet. Additionally, I'd love to mention is that I tried quite a few pair of shoes before narrowing down on my favorite one and honestly they were all comfortable and most of the ones I liked were from their fit Collection. Their price range is starting from BD. 31 onward up to around BD. 42 approximately , as for shoe sizes they have US 6 onwards in shoes but they do have 5.5 as well they'll help you figure it out, don't worry!

I found myself a super comfortable pair of heels and a lovely handbag which are both perfect for work I shall be doing a blog post on what I got soon so stay tuned for that! Meanwhile, do pay a visit Anne Klein at Seef Mall, Manama (Ground Floor near Entrance 10) and have a look at the collection for yourself!

Lots of Love,
