10 April 2015 www.womanthismonth.com Our much anticipated April issue is off the press! Is it only me or do you also think time is speeding by when you see our fourth issue of the year? Fourth! And I still have the feeling that 2015 just started! It reminds me that summer is upon us and we must get ready for it. Not only with extra care when spreading the sunscreen, but also updating our wardrobes. The Fashion Issue brings you the hottest trends in the fashion, accessories and beauty worlds. We’ve studied all the catwalk shows from New York, Paris, Milan and London to bring the must-have elements of the SS2015 collections. Our selection brings moments from the runways alongside the products you’ll find in your beloved stores on the island. We’ve prepared a complete guide with the season’s favourite prints, colours and materials. Enjoy! Our cover features the lovely Kareena Kapoor wearing the fine jewellery from Malabar Gold & Diamonds. The gorgeous Indian actress is coming to Bahrain; stay tuned and check our Diary page for more information. WTM interviewed our former contributor Dr Clare BeckettMcInroy about her new book Coach Me Networking Know How and Shura Council member, Nancy Khedouri. Hope you are inspired by them! In our Home section we give you practical tips to add some green to your home. You will discover there are a bunch of plants that enjoy the indoor environment and don’t care about 24 hours of AC breeze. Ghada Salem talks about having fun in the Kingdom with the little ones while Dr Jinan Harith Darwish sheds some light on a common disease amongst children: chickenpox. We also have much more, but I’ll let you discover that for yourself! Happy reading!

EDITOR’S NOTE Woman This Month is a member of BPA Worldwide I love shoes! But who doesn’t? Actually, I have a theory that if you are not crazy about eye-catching footwear, then you lose your mind for handbags! I’m definitely in the first group. I like pumps, flats, boots, sandals, flip-flops, stylish sneakers and the list just grows. The unusual ones with different heel designs or extra details are my favourite pieces! These are the objects of my desire from the new collections. Charles & Keith Tommy Hilfiger Call It Spring
