Noor Rocks The Vogue


I have received this as an e-mail forward from one of my friends. Apparently, a stylish Kuwaiti girl, Noor Al Humaidhi, was featured in Vogue's website as "New Year's 2008 Street Chic". And let me tell you, I felt so proud to see a Kuwaiti Girl in one of the world’s leading fashion magazine (After all, in Vogue we trust). I Loved the colorful plaid pea-coat and fabulous flat boots Noor was sporting. Kudos to Noor for nailing London's street style AND grabbing Vogue's attention. So what did our fashionista say?

"My coat is from Whistles, which is one of my favourite shops. My gloves are from Prada and my jeans are from Dwell, in the US. For 2008, I think we'll be going back to clean lines and classic looks all worn with high heels. My New Year's Resolution is to add colour to my wardrobe." said Noor.

I saw this picture before in Oniomaniac' blog a while back.
She too loved the coat, which leaves me wondering:
"Am I the only one here who thinks that this particular coat is NOT all that great" ?!!

Dare I contradict Vogue- THE fashion bible?!!

God, I think I'm getting a headache!!

lala I don't like the coat either :/ I think we're both not worthy of reading Vogue anymore ;(
On the other hand I like the overall look but not the jacket the print reminds me of a scottish quilt! Salamat sweetness..

To Noor well done you go girl !

i like the fact that a kuwaiti girl made it in there.. but it is not the magazine . it is "just" the street chic section where there are tons and tons of pictures taken to put in there.
personally i do not like the coat and the outfit as a whole doesnt appeal to me.
but heads up for letting someone photograph her ;)

Ms. Al Humaidhi certainly looks the part on the cover of international Vogue. But does she realize she looks more like Emma Thompson than ET does herself, only she is 20 years younger than her?
As for the coat she is wearing, it is far too Viking for my liking.
Confashions dear, you must not be outdone by Noor. Send in your snapshots to Marie Claire or Libaas and I am sure they'll want to have you as permanent furniture.

lala and fourme
I loved her coat because it's sooo fresh and colorful. I'm sick of winter's greys and blacks I guess ;)

The fact that she was featured on Vogue's webpages (even though it is probably hardly ever seen by the bigger fashionable public and it is not THE magazine) is good enough for me ;)

Emma Thompson
Emma Thompson? I can't see the resemblance. I think she looks prettier :) And thank you for the compliment ;) As long as they don't have me as an old couch!

I'm proud of Noor, wtg girl!

It's gratifying to see a society woman from Kuwait making her foray into the glitzy world of fashion and modeling. I am sure she will be an
inspiration to thousands of Kuwaiti lads and ladettes whose life time ambition it is to be Calendar boys and girls and make Kuwait truly very proud of them.

vigue out of vogue
It seems that you did not click on the link which takes you to the vogue's site. Noor is studying for her masters degree and it happens that she dresses in a nice and chic way. Nothing's wrong with that. She's not all about looks... but also BRAINS.

If you find this subject so degrading, why bother to leave your unconstructive criticism. I’m sure you’ll find other blogs that suit your interest.

My comment was misconstrued;if anything it was only meant to flatter not to ridicule or to taunt. She has indeed, shown the forward path to many aspiring youngsters who should like to take up modeling as a part time vocation. Heaven knows if tomorrow the Ford Supermodel agency decides to set up shop in Kuwait given there's no dearth of modeling talent available here!

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.

Amazing Alia

Several months ago I posted about Alia Designs , a Kuwaiti talented designer of traditional clothes and dresses. Back then, I liked one of the items featured on her website.
