Pretty Little things for her - Guest editor

I had the pleasure of being invited to bloggers night at ‘Pretty Little things’ the event was in the comfy Villa Mini Boutiques. Walking in, I was impressed by the supper snacks arranged by Baking Tray on the left and the comfortable seating, warm heaters on the right, made a note to myself, have to absolutely take advantage of the organised set up.  Greeted by the event organised, exclusivity was asserted as our names were checked off a  list and we entered a world of sophisticated brands.  Dainty, posh pretty and elegant are the words that evolve around the brands.

Some of my favourites were:

 Silsil Ceramics-

Combining contemporary and traditional styles, these light as a feather items got me captivated..

Goji boutique

Tree of accessories was budding with unique necklaces, shiny braclets, dainty bags and elegant clutches.

The racks were also decorated with the warm winter clothes

The yard truly out did itself with the yard yards display, feels like you walking into one of the Covent Garden stores.  Found tons of useful homey accessories, fell in love with the traditional trays and the ‘oh so adorable’ plates and bowls.

May jewellery

Fell in love with the elegant simplicity of the accessories, having them custom made, choosing the letter desired and precious stone. The mens’ cufflinks are a ‘ to die for’ gift for him!

Baby B

Absolute cuteness! You just wana pinch the products cheeks! The items make adorable baby gifts as well as include many baby essentials. The simplistic yet pretty little things sold here make you cry out ‘I want’!

Green Bar

Last but far from least, was totally blown away by Green Bar, extremely popular in Bahrain, I was very impressed by the products being displayed. They resembled a merge between  l’occitane and Kiehl’s. I loved the aromatic scent of the products and the fresh and calm feeling they give.

Not only was this an exceptional visit, but I felt very much appreciated by the name tagged basket of goodies presented at the End.
