Mother of All Malls - Part I

So guess where have I been to? Yup, Dubai Mall. The home to just about every major fashion and designer brand in the world. The mall is so huuuuge, equivalent in size to more than 50 soccer fields, The size of the shops reminded me of Las Vegas's malls in terms of space and variety.

According to their site, Dubai Mall features more than 1,200 stores and over 120 food & beverage outlets. Amongst its world-class attractions are: an Aquarium with its own indoor tunnel, an Olympic-size Ice Rink; and the world's largest indoor Gold Souk.





This is a glimpse of the Fashion Avenue, the one-stop shop for fashion enthusiasts in this region. It has over 70 stores/boutiques entirely dedicated to the biggest designer brands in high-end fashion, which I'll share with you tomorrow.

The flagship store of Galeries Lafayette in Paris has a branch at Dubai Mall. Product offering includes: Women, men and kids fashion, accessories, lingerie, cosmetics and fragrances, jewelry and watches, interior decoration. They had a nice selection of casual chic clothes from brands such as: Vanessa Bruno, Maje, Hoss Intropia, Manoush, Sandro, See by Chloe... and more.


I love the combo of snake skin shoes and neon yellow trimmed heels. Almost everything was on sale at Galeries Lafayette. Below is a photo of Givenchy s/s 2009 shoes section on 30% discount.

From my experience Galeries Lafayette branches are never as good as the Flagship store in Boulevard Haussman.

I hope it comes close though.

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.

Chanel Bags on Discount?!

If you thought that getting a cheap Chanel bag that's within your budget is something too far fetched, then think again. You'll be surprised to know that Chanel's boutique located at Salhiya Complex is currently selling several bags, that are a maximum 1 or 2 seasons old, on discount . And we're not talking about a 2 or 5% discount here, these bags are 50% off their original price! For some reason I always thought that Chanel bags never go on sale. But I guess the printed ones or the ones that are made out of the collection's main fabric have to go on sale. Anyways, I managed to take photos of these 2 beauties. What I love about those bags is that they're a classic shape that never goes out of style, their print is young and refreshing, plus they're quilted. I think they could be a collector's item. Both bags featured here are sold for approximately KD 250 .
