Woman This Month - October 2014

6 October 2014 www.womanthismonth.com It’s that time of the year again, where splurging on clothes, accessories and make-up is totally justified! The slight breeze we have been experiencing recently announces the oncoming of winter; we can’t be more excited to show off our new outfits of the season. Fernanda Langhammer takes you on a journey through the top trends of autumn and winter. From colour palettes to the right silhouettes and must-have accessories to beauty tips, she’s got you covered. So, all aboard the Fashion Issue! It’s the month of October and we’re the only women’s monthly on the island. Where else will you go for Breast Cancer Awareness Month? We speak to Julie Sprakel from Think Pink’s Bahrain chapter as the charity celebrates its tenth year of success. You can scan through our events calendar to see how you can help with their campaign. We also speak to experts for a better understanding of the disease and its effects on patients. Sadly, we had to bid farewell to one of our dearest contributors, Simi Kamboj, who is following her dream in creative writing. We wish her bright future in the literary world. In this issue, we have another episode of a style makeover with City Centre Bahrain. Find out how you can be the next lucky winner by following us on our social media channels. Happy October!
