I love to mix old with new, high-street with designer brands. And since there isn't much to do here during the summer, I decided to go bargain hunting (my latest summer obsession) at Villa Moda Mubarikiya. I was astounded by the amount of gorgeous items one can get at amazingly low prices and use for seasons to come. The store has a huge selection from its designer collection marked up to 70% off, including pieces by YSL, Vivian Westwood, Bottega Veneta, Marni, Manolo Blahnik, Gucci.. and more!In my upcoming posts, I'll be sharing with you some of my favorite finds, what to avoid, and what to look for. I know I shouldn't, but I'm already tempted to go bargain hunting there again soon for some more fab and unique pieces to add to my semi-vintage wardrobe collection.

Now I'm the one arguing with the bleeding heart in your Chanel post and you didn't answer my question! What do you think about the classic Chanel necklace? The pearl and silver Chanel emblem?

If your party will be held sometime during july/aug/Sept, don't go for the opaque tights. Instead, give your gems a good scrub, some self tanning lotion, and you're good to go. On a different note, opaque tights are still in for next season, but instead of bright plain colored ones, designers have gone all out with prints, stripes, plaids, and some lace details.

You're right but nothing beats the fun of shopping (offline) ;)
As for your question, don't hesitate for a second to buy a classic chanel pearl necklace. It's something you will treasure forever. I love it piling on pearl necklaces, and they would look perfect paired with a tux jacket or a boy's fit blazer. It doesn't hurt to buy a modernized chanel flap bag as well ;) like the one you have mentioned in your previous comment.

You might have already seen it, but I wanted to share it with readers who might not have :)
We should very much like to see you host the local edition of "The Bargain Hunters" show on prime time TV.
Ask around to see if Al Watan or Al Rai TV might want to take you on as anchor.
Rgds,
