Medusa is Blooming

Boudoir D’huitres has just finished a very successful showing at the New York fashion week. The show was titled “Medusa is Blooming” and the concept behind it is the bold exploration inspired by electric jellyfish tentacles and vivid explosions of underwater colors. This inspiration is transformed into delicate ruffle detailing, gem accents, and elements ranging from architectural leather dresses to embellishments of ostrich feathers.

Standout pieces include a silk faille mini bustier dress with silk double organza ruffles in saturated rose, a tri-colored ostrich feather vest with with chiffon piecing, and a chartreuse lambskin leather mini-bustier dress with sculpted panels.

Boudoir D’huitres retails from $400 - $3000.00 USD. Designer Mimi Plange launched her debut international collection Boudoir D’huitres in late 2007. Boudoir D’huitres has been generating attention from all the top magazines like Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, and has been pulled by top magazines including Numero Tokyo, Vogue Italy, Vogue Germany, Marie Claire, L'officiel, Issue One, and Disfunkshion. Here are some images from the event.

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?
