Summer Ain't Over

OK, I HATE this time of the year, when most of Kuwait's shops are on a "pause" mood:
  • No new Fall collections
  • Pre-fall collections are very limited/boring
  • New collections will be on display just weeks before Eid
  • Some summer collections are still to this day full-priced even though you can find the same items online on 50% discount!

So I find it quite difficult finding nice AND new items in stores. Anyhow, on a recent shopping trip to Villa Moda Shuwaikh. I found 3 cute items, but they're from the s/s 2009 collection, they are not on sale. This Meher & Riddhima vibrant mint green top with ruched details on the sleeves is fun to wear for casual outings. It comes with a bright pink necklace made out of long twisted fabric. Price tag? KD 197.

I loved this Akira bright orange short sleeves dress, it has a great fit. The details of the sleeves, fabric mix'n'matching with some matt golden embroidery makes it ideal for Ramadan's formal outings. Price tag? KD 531.



Another elegent find for women in their 40's and 50's, Akira light jacket which would look very classy paired with stright cut pants or dresses. Price tag? KD 510.

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.

Amazing Alia

Several months ago I posted about Alia Designs , a Kuwaiti talented designer of traditional clothes and dresses. Back then, I liked one of the items featured on her website. This time I'm going ga-ga over her latest Ramadan collection of Kaftans and darraa'at! Especially the one shown here on the first picture. Looks very young, comfortable, and oh-so-perfect for after futoor! For inquiries please visit the website or call (+965) 642-7400.
