November 2017 www.womanthismonth.com news 8 November in Focus What’s on our radar this month? Mark your calendars for the next Lokal Pop Up at Oliveto, in Adliya, on November 25 and 26 from 4pm to 11pm. The Lokal Pop Up Shop is organised with the aim of promoting and celebrating home-grown talent. It’s one of the most exclusive, stylish and trendy events on the island bringing together the very best of up-andcoming designers and creatives from the Middle East. Look out for clothes, accessories, bags, jewellery, skincare, perfumes and even chocolate. The locally sourced, inspired and talented designers engage and sell directly in one of the most elegant locales in Bahrain — Oliveto, — where an Italian menu is available. Sporting Girls Check out this exhibition from Moroccan-British artist Hassan Hajja featuring a selection from his series La Salle de Gym des Femmes Arabes. The title, which translates into Gym for Arab Women, is a continuation of his depiction of strong and spirited Arab women in his vision of Moroccan pop-culture. Viewing his unique style of vibrant colours, one can feel the Moroccan street vibe coming through the pictures which he has taken over a number of years at different locations. The exhibition runs until November 29. Livin’ on a Prayer If, like us (well, at least some of us), you’re a bit of an old rocker, get ready to tease out your high hair and don a bit of ‘80s style for the arrival of Bon Giovi. They’re a UK tribute band who channel the US glam/hair rockers to bring back memories of many a misspent youth. They’re at the Gulf Hotel on November 23 and for brunch and at Sherlocks in the evening on November 24. See you there. OK, maybe it’s a bit early, but we wouldn’t want you to miss out on the annual Awali Festive Fair happening at the Bapco Club on November 11. There are always loads of bargains, yummy home cooking, craft decorations and great gift ideas. So, we’ll be seeing you at this one too. Thanks Wolfgang If we can’t tempt you with our special Thanksgiving recipes, then try out Wolfgang Puck’s take on the American celebration prepared live at the Azure Pool area at Four Seasons Bahrain Bay on November 23. It costs BD45 per person and includes a feast of mouthwatering deep-fried turkey with cranberry-apple compote, brioche stuffing and kabocha pumpkin pie. Yum! Hope you’ve got those letters to Santa written, girls. It’s that time of year again when Jewellery Arabia descends on Bahrain Exhibition and Convention Centre, bringing with it jewels galore. Look out for bargain prices on diamonds and gems, fantastic bargains on designer watches and much more. Running over five days, from November 21 to 25, the event is expected to attract around 600 exhibitors from across the globe. Parking is usually pretty busy, so get there early.
