  • New deliveries for Prada, Miu Miu, YSL, Bottega Veneta, Selvador Ferragamo, and Dolce & Gabbana Autumn/Winter 2007 have arrived at Villa Moda Shuwaikh.

  • Topshop was forced to destroy hundrads of lemon yellow dungaree dresses and pay thousands of pounds in legal costs, after being accused of copying a dress designed by See by Chloe. Will this encourage fashion houses to strike back at high street copycats?

Venice Sheraton
you know, I'm clueless myself... I've been to Al MAnshar 10 days ago and saw VM's location, they haven't even started the decoration and the interior design. So I don't see it opening anytime soon.. or at least that's what I have noticed.

Where does one go bargain hunting for Comme des Garcons and Ungaro in Kuwait? Do they have like a factory outlet for these brands in Kuwait?

sorry, my slips showing
you can find Comme Des Garcons at Al Oustora at Al Sahab Complex (next to Salhiya Complex) or at Zahra Complex in Salmiya. You will find some of their stuff on sale.

As for Ungaro, it is located at Mariam Complex. Again, not all of it's collection is on sale. So you will only find few pieces.

I don't think there is a factory outlet for these specific brands in Kuwait. Then again, I could be wrong.

hmm.. High End Fashion brands don't have time to sue every single high street shops because they copied this and that .. unless it is an exact relpica of one of their items and if they sell items using their name .. They better sue those big campanies in China for their bootleg version of their products.

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.

Sephora Opening Soon At The Avenues II

Beauty Junkies rejoice! The famous retailer of perfumes and cosmetics and the leading beauty chain in Europe and US, Sephora , will be opening soon at The Avenues Phase II. Personally, I like Sephora not only because of its tempting cosmetic selection, but mainly because I don't feel pressured by sales associates to buy stuff that I don't really need. I can actually touch and try the products without having the sales associate stalking me around and giving me some unnecessary comments about my skin/make-up. I think Sephora will make it big here if it sells its high-end cosmetics which are unavailable at other beauty stores/pharmacies in Kuwait. Does anyone have any product recommendations or favorites?
