CHRISTMAS WINDOW SHOPPING!

EXCITING NEWS FLASH:

A new store has opened on the JBR Walk

in the Dubai Marina.

Or, at least I think it has opened! 

If not, it will be soon!

JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS!!!

I donned my

best stilettos (yea, right!)

to go and take 

a look!

Just what Dubai needs.....

is a store that sells

furs

to keep us warm during the long months of the

freezing cold (yea right) winter!

Don't worry -- the store stocks

enough inventory

for everyone!

(Whew!!)

Even though

I'm not much of a fur person

(even during those cold Indiana winters),

the window shopping

was

AMAZING!

MANZARI - on the JBR Walk:

Now Open!

Or, Opening Soon!!

JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS!!

TOMORROW

IS

CHRISTMAS!!

I HEART IBN BATTUTA MALL!

WELCOME TO IBN BATTUTA MALL!

"Ibn Battuta Mall is the world’s largest themed shopping mall. Uniquely designed to celebrate the travels of the famous Arabic explorer Ibn Battuta, the exciting mix of over 275 retailers, 50 restaurants and food outlets, 21 cinema screens including the UAE’s only IMAX theatre and a continual array of events and promotions have helped evolve and develop one of the city’s fastest growing areas." 

Lucky for us, we are living inside that growing area!   So this is what we have at our fingertips.....
 

 
Yes, I heart Ibn Battuta Mall.  And I actually found a dress there last week!  WOOHOO!!

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!  WE MISS YOU ALL VERY MUCH.  ENJOY THE TIME WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS.  LOVE,  JOHN & DEEDS

SHOP TIL YOU DROP!

They've redefined the phrase, "Shop Til You Drop", here in Dubai.  A couple of days ago I spent a month in The Dubai Mall one morning.  No kidding!  That's exactly what it felt like.

The Dubai Mall is the world's largest mall.  As you can only imagine, there is an overwhelming number of stores in it, and I passed by each and every one of them that morning!  After diligently walking in and out of many of the shops, I had an Ah-Ha moment!  "I need to take pictures of some of the stores so I can share them with you!"  

Here you go....you can now take a walk through the Dubai Mall and see what you think!

Come on now, HURRY UP!  You need to keep pace with me!
I'm on a mission here....

...in and out of all these shops and I haven't even tried on one single thing!  Come on, there are more stores to browse.....

I am literally posting pictures of shops in just one small area of the mall.  All I need is a new dress for the three weddings I have back home next month!  And maybe a new pair of shoes and purse, depending on what I end up with!  I'm in any normal person's SHOPPING MECCA and I can hardly find anything to try on much less buy!!  Let's keep on keeping on...

I'm starting to get a tad frustrated by now, how about you?  The price tags alone make me want to faint!  But let's not give up hope....

I give up!  I'm exhausted, aren't you?  Let's just call it a day. My head is ready to explode with all the name brands and mannequins and sales that really aren't sales!  I need my TJ MAXX and MARSHALL stores and I need them NOW!!

And that, folks, is what shopping at the world's largest mall feels like.  You literally SHOP TIL YOU DROP!!
