The Oscars of Fashion

Move over MTV Movie awards, the CFDA Awards, Council of Fashion Designers of America, has stolen your thunder daaaahling. Now THAT'S what I call red carpet fashion. All the IT fashion crowd were there , all glammed up. I can just imagine them walking down the carpet, air kissing Mr. Laboutine, rubbing shoulders with Oscar De La Renta, and giving MK & Ashley the "You-look-fabulous daaahling" note. What was weird & surprisng is that Oscar de la Renta shared the coveted womenswear award with Proenza Schouler. Anyways, here are my fave looks of the evening:
  • Monique Lhuillier, in her own design.
  • Jacquetta Wheeler, in Oscar de la Renta.
  • Tory Burch, I think in her own design (Not crazy about the hairdo & shoes though)

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in  Miu Miu   Boutiques throughout our region.

Chanel Bags on Discount?!

If you thought that getting a cheap Chanel bag that's within your budget is something too far fetched, then think again. You'll be surprised to know that Chanel's boutique located at Salhiya Complex is currently selling several bags, that are a maximum 1 or 2 seasons old, on discount . And we're not talking about a 2 or 5% discount here, these bags are 50% off their original price! For some reason I always thought that Chanel bags never go on sale. But I guess the printed ones or the ones that are made out of the collection's main fabric have to go on sale. Anyways, I managed to take photos of these 2 beauties. What I love about those bags is that they're a classic shape that never goes out of style, their print is young and refreshing, plus they're quilted. I think they could be a collector's item. Both bags featured here are sold for approximately KD 250 .
