www.womanthismonth.com October 2018 6 Wow, it's been a busy month at the WTM office with three big features to put to bed. As always, October means our thoughts turn to the new season's fashion trends. OK, in our climate, we might not get much chance to wear boots and coats, but funky jackets and sweaters never go amiss and, of course, we love scrutinising the catwalks to see what craziness the designers have come up with. Fernanda has put together loads of great trends plus tips on how to wear them. So, make sure you check out her pages. October also heralds the regular initiatives and events which raise cash and awareness about breast cancer. In October in Focus, you'll find a round-up of Think Pink events to look out for which will be updated throughout the month at www.womanthismonth. com. We've also spoken to experts in the field about prevention, early detection, dealing with some of the difficult aspects of treatment and more. Plus Shaikha Alanood Al Khalifa outlines her plans to provide cancer sufferers with handmade wigs created from locks donated here in Bahrain. Our third feature this month looks at Women in Finance and we have interviews with Noor Al Saati and Fatema Bastaki, the dynamic duo behind the Imtiaz for Her credit card, and Julia De Souza of AMEX Middle East. There are also words of wisdom from financial expert Pria Masson Tanwar for those looking to get their own financial house in order. Elsewhere, Behnaz reports on the delights of the new ladies' breakfast at Wyndham Garden's Café Mosaic and Apple gives her verdict on her massage at Heavenly Spa by Westin — seems I'm missing a trick here! If you've always fancied a visit to the land down under, and I can highly recommend it, this month's travel pages feature some of Australia's most popular destinations. As always we've got our regular beauty and homes tips and lots more to keep you busy. I'd love to hear what you think of this month's mag, hope you enjoy it. chairman & publisher GEORGE F MIDDLETON editorial director LIZ O'REILLY contributors APPLE SHARMA BEHNAZ SANJANA FERNANDA LANGHAMMER SUZANNE NICHOLAS ADNAN SIPRA RAPHAEL PRIA MASSON LAHAN SPERINCK print production manager SABU SEBASTIAN layout & graphics HATEM MONEM media coordinator SARAH ANSARI media managers FARHEEN AHMED circulation and research ROANNA FERNANDES photography editor MONA ABDUL JABBAR photographers RANJITH MOHAN SUBEESH KUMAR NS printing press DAR AKHBAR AL KHALEEJ W.L.L., BAHRAIN DIGITAL & CONTENT MARKETING TEAM Digital Strategy Director LINI REGUNATH MADHAVAN Digital Marketing Manager INDIRA VISWANATHAN Content Editors ADNAN SIPRA, SHAMA UCHIL Video Producer DARIO GODIC Art & Animation Director HATEM MONEM Contents copyrighted 2018© Reproduction in whole or in part by any means without the express written consent of the publisher is prohibited.
