Beautifully Blended Beirut - Part II

Still at Saifi Village, if you're looking for a place where they sell well-made, colorful, and embroidered caftans and ropes for your mother or even for you, then head to Assila (Pictured below and above). It's the perfect place to buy a gift for your mother or your foreign friends who like and appreciate middle eastern clothes.


Johnny Farah sells leather goods that look and feel fabulous. The clutches are even more beautiful up close. And what's even more fabulous? You can customize your own bag provided that it follows Farah's guidelines of leather design. Swell!

Starch is a relatively new boutique devoted to young designers in Lebanon. The concept of the boutique is the constant rotation of new ideas and debut collections by new designers. So every season four to six young designers showcase their work to the public.

Just look at those cute light pink shoe-boots/platforms at Starch boutique. The "it" place to go to for one of a kind items.

Hahah swell. You sound like cynthia rowley. :) anyways, ya I really like johnny farah, veeeery soft, velvety leathers! But I bought a pair of shoes and they hurt a bit from the back cause of the way the back of the shoe was structured. Otherwise, super-comfy!

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?
