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.
So back to my NYC posts, Opening Ceremony is the place to go to for your cutting edge fashion fix. Located in Soho, this funky boutique showcases designers from a different country each year. And even though the stock display is not so shopper-friendly and it's kind of congested from the inside, but it's one of the BEST places I have been to so far in NYC. Shopping there felt like a treasure hunt, you need to go through every item carefully so that not to miss out on the statement pieces. Here are my top two fave OC items...
I was so mesmerised by this green and blue digital print silk mini skirt by Peter Pilotto. The skirt is encrusted with beautiful gems and appliques and one of the most eye-catching and beautiful pieces I have ever seen during my trip. It was around USD 2,350 (KD 677).
And I'm sooo in love with my Pendleton Meets Opening Ceremony Tight Peplum Coat. Just look at how well structured the ruffle is. And It even looked smashin' when tried on. Around USD 650 (KD 187).
Then we went to Balthazar for lunch. It serves traditional delicious bistro meals and its owned by the same people that own Pastis. The ambiance is very cheerful and once inside for some reason you feel like you're in the heart of Paris. If you plan to go there, check out the next door Balthazar Bakery for desserts and baked stuff.
