Madison Mavens

Women walking down Madison Avenue have certain traits. They looked super dressed and their manes were well coiffured. Not a single hair out of place. And as is the case in almost every shopping-obsessed culture, they were dressed for their other fellow Madison mavens and mean sales assistants. I actually enjoyed people watching on Madison. Made me want to bring the Sartorialist in me. Anyhow, I started the day with Barneys.

As always, the first thing I do whenever I visit this luxury retailer is admire the display and theme. It never disappoints me. Very simple yet very creative. The words are drawn in a way that make the lines look connected to one point and attached to the mannequin.
Camping in Barneys

Walking the dogs

After a couple of hours of shopping in Barneys, lunch at Fred's at Barney's is a must to fuel up for the Madison Ave. journey. I'm craving the fresh pasta with truffle oil now.

Back to Madison Avenue, the first boutique I noticed was Hermes. So Kelly is my latest obsession.

And just across the street to Hermes Boutique was another Hermes Boutique under construction (amazing purchasing power) covered in its famous orange box. I just love how boutiques and stores are covered in the states and Europe when they're under construction. Look how striking the color is used for Devi Kroell's coming-soon-boutique.

I still have more to share...

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.

Marie Clair - Kuwait is in Arabic of course. The magazine offers an editorial mix of journalism with glamour, fashion and beauty coverage, and feature stories of lifestyle and serious women related issues. All by an Arabic editorial team.

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?
