Inspired By...


In a perfect world, every Wang fanatic would be dressed head to toe in this designer’s duds and have enough zeros in their accounts to purchase the entire line.  But since we don’t live in a perfect world, we have to find ways to get that Alexander Wang look sans the hefty price tag.  So I was thrilled when I found affordable Wang inspired pieces at TopShop store in the Avenues to achieve this season’s sporty chic and model-off-duty look.  The cropped grey sweatshirt would look fab layered over a tank top and a pair of harem-like/cargo/sweat pants and a pair of lace-up peep-toe boots. Another piece that I really liked is the Waterfall soft drape pocket jacket with jersey sleeves, which you can pair with fitted J band-ish cargo pant or a pencil skirt with your waist cinched if you want some definition.  Brownie points if you have Alexander Wang's duffle bag (the real deal of course!).

The problem with Topshop is that most of their hit items get sold out within hours! So shopping in topshop Kuwait to me depends a lot on LUCK! :P

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.

Chanel Bags on Discount?!

If you thought that getting a cheap Chanel bag that's within your budget is something too far fetched, then think again. You'll be surprised to know that Chanel's boutique located at Salhiya Complex is currently selling several bags, that are a maximum 1 or 2 seasons old, on discount . And we're not talking about a 2 or 5% discount here, these bags are 50% off their original price! For some reason I always thought that Chanel bags never go on sale. But I guess the printed ones or the ones that are made out of the collection's main fabric have to go on sale. Anyways, I managed to take photos of these 2 beauties. What I love about those bags is that they're a classic shape that never goes out of style, their print is young and refreshing, plus they're quilted. I think they could be a collector's item. Both bags featured here are sold for approximately KD 250 .
