Sonia Rykiel Heats Up H&M



Sonia Rykiel for H&M playful lingerie and accessories collection arrived in store at The Avenues over the weekend. Inspired by the fifties era, the range included 50s-style underwear, racy suspenders, sexy negligees, black velvet long pants with matching jackets (I like), decorated slippers and mules, Madonna-inspired satin body corset (I like), rose decorated underwear set (I like), and not so great black bow headpieces and brooches.


And there was a pretty off-the-shoulder black velvet gown with a big bow on the side on the window display which I actually liked. It was the first item that got sold out, I wasn’t surprised, KD 45 for a decent evening gown?! One hell of a bargain!

LOL! My bad walla! I don't know how it slipped my mind. I totally forgot about it, when I passed by H&M the other day and saw the collection, only then I remembered! Maybe the fact that the launch was not much hyped by the media and the public as they did for the Choo launch (or Choo hysteria) made me forget about it.. :)

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.
