6 November 2014 www.womanthismonth.com October was an fascinating month at the Woman This Month headquarters as we were busy preparing for our first-ever fashion show. Held in line with the launch of the new Lincoln MKZ, this was our chance to thank our fashion partners, who have showcased their exquisite collections in our spreads. Coming to our November issue, we have put together a number of exciting stories. We kick off with some exciting shopping finds for those with the urge to splurge. This is suplemented by with our annual luxury feature, where we showcase the ultimate wish list. In the fashion section, Fernanda Langhammer takes you through the micro trends of the season and shows you how to rock colours in the wintry days, while our contributor Hannah Moore gives us tips on how to wear your denims. We dived into the giving spirit of Bahrain and discovered two groups of women that are dedicated to bettering our society as a whole. While Rana Al Sairafi talks to Georgie Bradley about the newest programme launched by Be Free Center, Ellen van Manen discusses the importance of hosting the International Family Fair. We also speak to six women who have found success in leading roles in the male-dominated industry of banking. On a different note, I have chosen to take a career break; so this will be my last issue as editor of Woman This Month. It has been a pleasure working in this role with a fantastic team. Happy reading!
