Treat Your CCAD Syndrome

Sometimes, a fashionista goes through a "CCAD" syndrome. "CCAD" stands for Casual Chic Attire Disorder. This is a serious fashion condition which I'm sure many of you have suffered from. No matter what you do, you just can't seem to find the right stylish thing to wear for going out with the girls on a Saturday brunch.

I once pretended that I'm Patricia Field on a fashion mission to dress up Carrie for her Sunday brunch at the meatpacking district (Carrie would be me in this example as well. Sick I know!!). Little did I know that not anyone can mix and match "a la Patricia Field's style". And certainly, not everyone can pull off Carrie's style. Looking casual chic can be hard and challenging. It's achievable, but requires some work.

Lucky me, I found some fabulous M Missoni casual chic pieces at the brand's boutique at Arraya Complex for the low-maintenance fashionista in you.


I instantly fell in love with this modern semi-capelet with a vintage feel. The lining of the capelet adds a splash of color to the beige wool front. It comes with a fitted top made from the same material/print of the lining. But I wouldn't go for it. Pair it with high-waist jeans and a fitted high-neck top with a self-tie forest green or purplish scarf to keep your neck warm. Finish the look with an over-sized clutch. Capelet is priced at KD 187.



This top is more suitable for curvaceous women who want to look comfortable and chic. I liked the mix of two different prints. The supercute silk top can easily work with almost all your winter outfits. For casual outings, pair the hippie-chic top with slim-cut jeans and a long cardigan in a neutral color. Put on your patent leather platforms or flats and you're good to go. For formal occasions, wear it with a midi-skirt, a structured doctor's bag, and tuck it in to give some definition to your look. The top is sold for KD 182.



Once you try this cozy chunky shawl/poncho on, you wouldn't want to take it off. It's very easy to wear and an investment piece which will be worn every winter season. Pair it with skinny jeans and flat patent leather boots or ankle boots, a huge hobo bag, and you're all set. The poncho is sold for KD 328.


M Missoni boutique is located at Arraya Complex. Call them on (+965) 2997728 for any inquires.

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 .
