Sales Shopping Guide // Part3

What to buy and what to avoid!
Raf Simmons was ahead of the game when he created this all-over floral look for the Jil Sander autumn/winter 2011 catwalk (right). Céline followed suit for its pre-collection, and Peter Pilotto carries it forward into spring 2012.
Pack away your Isabel Marant Navajo jeans (Middle right) and sweaters and travel further afield. Burberry demonstrates the eclectic globe trekker vibe for summer (right).

Ditch the restrictive pencil skirt, as seen at MiuMiu this winter (left) in favour of a perfect pleat mastered by Prada for spring (Middle left).
Louis Vuitton cinched, sculpted and restrained our womanly curves this winter (Middle right), but for spring we are encouraged by Dolce & Gabanna (right) to flaunt it if we've got it.

Ready, Steady, GO. The Chalhoub Sale in On again!

Get ready fashionistas, the action is about to begin!

Dubai: Save the Date for Chalhoub's Sale, October 28 (2:00pm to 8:00pm) and October 29 (10:00am to 7:00pm) at the Dubai World Trade Center. Do not miss it out!

Although the items in the sale are not from the latest collections, but being a smart shopper you can choose some classics and timeless pieces,ranging  from Tods, Ralph Lauren, 

Carolina Herrera, Dior, Valentino,Tumi, Sephora, L'occitane ...perfume and make up brands and many more ...almost all on 80% OFF +

If you are intending to go on the first day ( I recommend that) you have to be there earlier  before people start lining up as early and they do not let everyone in at once, do not make any plans on that day coz you will be spending 4 to 5 hours inside, people also line up on the cashier and on the sections entrance especially for Fashion.The biggest cashier line is on Ralph Lauren and cosmetic sections, so you might wana do that first!

Last year Fendi did not participate in the sale, you'll be super lucky this year if they do.

Chanel NO! never participates, they usually have their own private sale and it's by invitation only, mostly for staff.

Tips:

•  Go on the first day
•  Be there early
•  Wear comfortable shoes
•  No children plsss.
•  Don't carry big bags ( not allowed to carry inside the stands)
•  There is a storage area, so don't worry about carrying the big shopping bags
•  If you get there early on the first day, be careful while entering, as they open the doors & a big tsunami wave of shoppers will form:)
•  If you find something that you like, even if you are not sure about it, just keep it with you until you get to the cashier or you might loose it to another shopper in a split of a sec
•  If you are going with a friend, make sure you stick together otherwise you won't see each other again in the sale!
•  Cosmetics are the best buys ever!
•  Shoes and belts, especially Tods shoes are worth it
•  Head straight to your favorite brands first when you enter
•  Gifts: make a (people) list before you go, and if you don't have one stock few items and you never know when an occasion pops out!
•  Do not over spend, in such events people tend to buy more and regret it later

Enjoy :)
