The Art of Architecture

This Autumn/Winter 2009 collection sees Rupert Sanderson draw on inspiration from all round the globe: from beaches in Sri Lanka, all the way to Italy and her Italian master craftsman, Gio Ponti.

Gio Ponti, one of Italy’s greatest 20th Century designers and architects, has been a huge inspiration to Rupert Sanderson this season. It is his flatware in particular that has inspired Rupert Sanderson to create his first sculptured heel, brand new for this season, on styles such as Seleste (shown here).

The heel stands 110mm high and gives the illusion of being broken, whereas it’s actually perfectly balanced when teamed with the subtle external platform. The heel is truly an ingenious piece of design and again reflects back to Sanderson’s love of architecture, structure and balance – all key elements in his shoe-making.

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?
