Doctor Doctor... Give me the news!


I've got a bad case of lovin' you (Chanel) No pill's gonna cure my ill. So I might as well get yoooou (My apologies to Robert Palmer).

The famous Chanel Quilted glazed calfskin doctor bag from the Paris-Londres 2008 collection is now available at Chanel's boutique located at Salhiya Complex in two sizes. I fell in love with the larger one instantly, BUT, there's a slight problem. The bag does look a lot like Marc Jacobs Stam bag (which I'm not very fond of). It's lighter though with much better quality. Price? KD 1,130.

I saw it last weel and thought the same thing - way too much of a Marc Jacobs look alike. There's a really nice one though behind the counter, it's huge and I think it's vinyl but it looks like patent. It's got a thick goldish chain. That one is nice and looks light. Madri cham si3irha though

When I first saw the picture I thought "O an updated version of the MJ bag" but after I read your entry and found that it's a Chanel, I was totally turned off by it. But then again I'd have to see it in real life since most of photos don't do Chanel justice.

Vocabulary of the day:
in modern slag, 'classic' also means 'nice' or 'great' and is no longer limited to "Having historical or literary associations" or "A typical or traditional example"


You guys for got Clueless haven't you :-D

I had to buy the bag for my cuz over the summer, I hated that it was hard n rough..definitely not the classic soft chanel bag! Small opening, large space at the bottom..so not practical! Oh and guess what jaeger has one that looks exactly like that!! Put marc, chanel, and jaeger side by side
I have a thing for doctor's bags, but this does look a lot like the Stam by Marc Jacob, and I am so over it.

Chanel Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection

I can't remember if I shared my views about Chanel's Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection on my blog or not, but I thought I'd share with you some photos of the pieces on display now at Chanel Boutique in Kuwait, Prestige in the Avenues and Salhiya Complex. I wasn't too crazy about the clothes. However, I did like some of the bags which had pompoms and tassels on them, as well as the gigantic pearl clutch. I also loved the Moroccan-inspired pointy flats and the silver jewelry adorned with coins and crescents. Of course the shoes were sold out in my size and I wasn't so crazy about the patterned ones. I LOVED the flap bag with Pom Poms, but it was above my budget. Overall the collection felt more Moroccan than Dubai-an. I wish if they have incorporate more of the our gulf region's culture into the designs. Oh And I added to this post photos of Chanel's milk carton shaped python clutch bag embellished with a CC signature. They're not part of the Dubai colle

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit.  After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the  Altuzarra   sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away.  Which pair would you go for?

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare.  This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
