To Chinchin or Not to Chinchin

I know a lot of fashionistas stand against the fur industry and support PETA's anti-fur campaigns. So if you're one of them, I suggest you skip reading this post. If you're not and money is not an object, then you might want to check out the softest and fluffiest fur coat I have seen in Kuwait so far at Fendi Boutique in Salhiya Complex. The chinchilla short coat comes with a pricey tag of around KD 10,000.

I am an animal lover and although I would never go anywhere near fur for the missus(partly because of the price tag) I would never begrudge anyone their choice to wear fur if that's what makes them happy. Same goes with leather - I am madly in love with leather jackets. I even have a decent collection of genuine leather jackets at home and I will not tolerate some God's gift to earth telling me off on what not to wear.
Trouble is, in today's world tough liberals are proving every bit, as much pain in the unmentionables, as their conservative and hardliner bedfellows are.

The sheer timing of this post is brilliant! I know of many society women in Kuwait who are looking for that something special to wear to an evening of Opera at the Movenpick resort, Bida'a on Nov 4th. You have given them perfect arsenal in the chinchilla.
Getting all these high net worth fashionistas in Q8 eating out of your hands is now become child's play for you, Connie. How do you time and again manage doing that?
Chinchilla gives you the chillblains? said…
Is it okay to be seen wearing a chinchilla when out shopping at Dean & DeLuca's or even while you are Pinkberrying?
On a slightly different note, I find it bit of a travesty investing $10,000 on a $60 evening of opera. Better that they brought the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden to Kuwait; bricks and mortar.

Are Fendi also getting into the business of custom designing fur bishts for the local market ?

Absolutely adore that chinchilla! However,what's stopping me from buying it is my husband who is rather a furry man, you see. Who needs a chinchilla anyway when you have the real thing in bed with you?!

Whew! my friend's worried sick the KD10k chinchillas might be sold out before she packs it in for the day and hurries off to Salhiya. Is there a way we can hold them for her?

By the way, I am told by my palatibility appraiser that enchilladas go rather well with chinchillas.

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.
