Confashions From Kuwait

How many of you bag ladies out there have at least 1 designer handbag which you haven't worn for the past 5 years and can't bare the thought of giving it away (And no you can't turn it into a vintage one-of-a-kind item). How about you turn those designer handbags sitting in your closet into cash? I just came upon this cool new service from a company called Preloved Bag . Apparently, they specialize in buying and selling pre-owned authentic designer handbags. In other words, they will do all the work for you. So you just relax, sit back, and when your bag sells, they "Show you the money!". So how does this exactly work? Simple, you just call them for an appointment to visit their office (located at Arraya Complex), they'll inspect the goods, if they love your bags, they will pay you cash so that you can spend even more on things you want. Can't visit their office? They can arrange for a free pick-up service. How convenient is that?! I've already made my...

I'm so excited that now most shops have started displaying their summer collection. The latest addition is Jade Fashion boutique , located at Marina Mall. Today they have received new collection from Danish designer By Malene Birger . The collection seems to be inspired by 60’s glamour with the short trapeze dresses ( like the one shown here ), shagadelic printed tops, and huge colored bracelets. The collection included fun, colored, hippie-like cotton tops perfect for a beach holiday and huge canvas beach bags. The prices ranged between KD 130 and KD 40. For any questions about the collection or sizes, you can call Jade Fashion boutique at (+965) 224-4500.

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 .

Dear Confashion, I received a forward yesterday from of a friend and thought of sharing it with you, since you're into these things and I see you post about them every now and then. Exclusive "SHAHTOOSH & PASHMINA" scarves hand made with hand embroidery, straight from Kashmir! Unimaginable prices! Call 9832103 I personally called the guy and bought FIVE scarves (1 for my husband)! The price range is KD 250 to KD 4,000 . They're all worth the price!! He's much cheaper than what's being sold here! One more thing, they are 100% authentic, and the good thing about him is that he comes right to your place! I hope your readers will enjoy the beautiful shawls :) Thank you, F.S.G Thank you SFG for sharing this with us. It would also be interesting to know what other readers think of the shawls if they got the chance to buy them from the shahtoosh guy.

It seems that spring's yellow bug has caught Al Othman. And I'm not complaining. I love yellow (especially bright yellow). It's the color for all seasons. Besides, brights were all over the spring runway shows. And I think this vibrant color makes a wise buy for cruise and beyond. On my recent shopping spree I have noticed how yellow was dominating the racks and rails at my favorite boutique. So I decided to take a few snap shots of what's available now. I liked this bright yellow beach-party-dress by Lela Rose . It can be the ideal transitional style. Wear with or without opaque tights, depending on the weather. If it's chilly outside, pair it with a long knitted chunky cardigan and stacked patent heels. For the summer, pair it with gladiator style sandals. Dress costs KD 359 . Another cocktail party dress by Lela Rose. The strapless dress with panel detail gives a fresh look and a nicer alternative to the LBD. Can be worn with a tuxedo jacket for a funky look. Or ...

Normally, you shop online looking for things that are either sold out, not sold in Kuwait, or simply to get the deal of a lifetime. Unaware of the risks that involve online shopping. Have you ever asked yourself if the site you're shopping from is trust-worthy or not? How come there is no "About us" section on the website? Why is COD is the only form of payment? How come there are no contact numbers or a physical address of the office/Co.? One of my readers copied me on an e-mail sent to the owner of a Kuwaiti online shopping site called 7ata7eet.com . She was furious when she found out that the UGGS which were sold on 7ata7eet.com were actually fake based on her research. Dear 7ata7eet, Thank God I did my research before purchasing. You will find below 2 links detailing how you can tell the difference between a real UGG and a fake.My friends who bought from you, who I've CCed on this email, don't have the ® after "UGG" on the bottom of their shoes.

Impeccable fitting, ladylike elegance, gorgeous colors, incredible draping, deconstructed shapes, floral frocks, outstanding origami details, and over-the-top bubble shaped dresses are just a few words to describe Paris Haute Couture Spring 2008 Collections . Most shows were simply genius works of art. Some were beautiful on the runway but wouldn't dare to wear them in real-life. But overall, the couture shows were absolutely divine. Armani Privé was pure perfection and my fave with its edgy uptown girl meets high drama polished femininity. Below are my top picks from Paris Haute Couture Spring 2008 Collections, you know, just in case I get invited to a wedding or a formal dinner or have to go to baby reception, my people will contact Armani's people to make the required arrangements.. now where's the measurement tape... and my mom's credit card..
