But It's Balmain...



Balmain has created an exquisite and fierce collection this season that made every high-brand boutique around the world seek out for the label to stock their floor shops with its collection. And guess where can you find Balmain in Kuwait? Yup, at my number one local shopping destination, AlOthman. This season, Balmain’s collection outlines modern glamour with tough rock chic attitude. I found this short white dress on display at Alothman and even though it’s not one of the best pieces of Balmain’s collection, but there’s something about it that I found appealing (maybe the fact that it’s… Balmain?).

Anyhow, I feel that if I accessorize this dress with bold jewels, platform heels or ankle/over the knee boots (and a leather jackets), it would make a very refined rock ’n’ roll-ish look, another fall trend worth following.

Big earings.
A tight fitted black leather jacket, biker style perhaps!

Christophe Decarnin has really revived Balmain. Its been on my radar since Kate Hudson wore that beautiful eagle wings dress @ the SAG awards.

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.

Sephora Opening Soon At The Avenues II

Beauty Junkies rejoice! The famous retailer of perfumes and cosmetics and the leading beauty chain in Europe and US, Sephora , will be opening soon at The Avenues Phase II. Personally, I like Sephora not only because of its tempting cosmetic selection, but mainly because I don't feel pressured by sales associates to buy stuff that I don't really need. I can actually touch and try the products without having the sales associate stalking me around and giving me some unnecessary comments about my skin/make-up. I think Sephora will make it big here if it sells its high-end cosmetics which are unavailable at other beauty stores/pharmacies in Kuwait. Does anyone have any product recommendations or favorites?
