8 November 2013 www.womanthismonth.com Bahrain is home to the largest and most prestigious jewellery exhibition in the Middle East. Jewellery Arabia will showcase world famous names and artisan designs from across the globe from November 19-23 this year. We took this as our cue to celebrate opulence. The November 2013 issue of Woman This Month features a selection of timepieces and other accessories that can be passed through the generations. We give you tips on how to tell if the gems you’re about to purchase are the real deal. Fernanda gives you the tricks to wearing them fashionably. Speaking of loud style statements, we had the privilege of speaking to Khaleda Rajab, who also graces the cover. She tells us all about her newest haute couture line and her collaboration with Fahad Al Marzouq for Linda Farrow! We also have a special feature on Bahrain’s noteworthy local designers. For those of you who are tired of repeating outfits, our fashion editor finds a way to make six unique looks out of 20 basic items in the wardrobe. James Claire gives us Thanksgiving recipes that he thinks should be made more often than once a year! Happy reading!
