A Cultural Treat at DarUSHA

Now that Ramadan is just around the corner, your body-conscious diet can be put on hold since you'll be wearing loose darra'a (traditional dress) most of the time for iftar or ghabga. If you still didn't buy a fancy darra'a to wear during Ramadan, then you need to check out the new collection of vibrant and multicultural darra'at at DarUSHA.

The collection offers a vast choice of colorful darra'at that are long with full sleeves. Most designs included the must-have waist cinching belt to add a touch of femininity and definition. And at the same time, they are loose enough to hide your overstuffed and bloated tummy after iftar. Here's a quick look at what's available in-store now.

DarUSHA is an exclusive villa boutique, tucked away in one one of the historical Behbehani houses. The boutique offers a variety of dresses, darra'at, and tops which have a mixture of east-meets-west and give a modern twist to some traditional outfits. DarUSHA is located at Qibla, behind Church. Beit AlMazar (17). For inquires, please call (+965) 2466570.

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.
