The Aftermath

This post is dedicated to those who haven't been to H&M's store at the Avenues to see the Jimmy Choo's collaboration collection. In the first photo you can see that the plastic barbie-pink clutches didn't sell well and I'm not surprised.

Almost all clothes were available in most sizes. The one item that first sold out was the mesh vest top.

From the looks of the stacked cobalt blue shoe boxes, it seems that the shoes didn't sell well either.

The collection was very disappointing, the adds gave much higher expectations!

I was planning on going mostly for the shoes but decided against it at the last minute, maybe I'll pass by later.
Really loved the Promos but when I saw them on display last week I was disappointed

I went to the VIP event on Thursday morning and it was a ma house!!! All the women in the store came out with huge shopping bags... I think a lot of the good stuff ran out. I bought 2 pairs of stilletos, the sequins tuxedo jacket, and a bracelet. The collection was bit disappointing at all... You ladies just got there too late.

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?
