Mother's Day with Thoub Zaman

Getting a Mother's Day gift is one of the challenging things I do every year. So I was excited to find the perfect last-minute Mother's Day gift which I'm sure she would love, wear, and treasure forever (hopefully!), a friend recommended me to go to a boutique called Thoub Zaman at Salhiya Complex, where I can find exquisite Darra'at (traditional dresses), and since my mother loves wearing the traditional dress for family gatherings, I decided to check out the place and buy her a darra'a as part of a Mother's Day gift basket. When I went there, I was surprised to find that the place not only sells Darra'at, but also, wedding gowns, evening gowns, and even formal dresses that appeal to the younger generation. The boutique is such a warm and welcoming place that it will make you feel like you're browsing a friend's closet. Pricing is fair considering the amount of detailed embroidery done on the Darra'a. And apparently the boutique is very popular for Darra'at Ramadan. All in all,  I'd definitely recommend them if you're looking for dressy darra'a for you moms.

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.
