All Four One & One Four All

4 boutique is one of those places where I can easily go overboard without the slightest shopping guilt. The boutique was packed with very avant-garde pieces. Their accessories section had me hooked, especially when I saw Tom Binns's necklaces right there in front of me. "Tom Binns in Kuwait!!!" My favorite pieces were the "rock chic meets Jackie-O" safety pin and pearl necklace and the yellow neon bib necklace (around KD 500). The boutique also had a nice selection of Charlotte Olympia heels.

I was also very impressed to find out that they sell Zaha Hadid's tables as shown in the below two pictures. There was also the Club Chair from Lee Broom's Rough Diamond collection which was exhibited during the 2008 London Design Festival (last photo).

4 boutique is truly a hidden little gem in a very low-key location. A must-go place for every fashionista (guys too!) looking for unique and quirky cool items for her/his wardrobe or if you're looking for house accessories and furniture to revamp your home.

4 boutique is located at Mahdi Habeeb Building, Opposite BMW Showroom, Next to Alhomaizi Printing & Union Air. For any inquires, please call (+965) 2492-5444.

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.
