Sale Picks at Aïshti

If you’re still hunting for designer duds on discount, you might want to check out Aïshti boutique located in the Avenues. It seems that AlOstura and Aïshti have the same display strategy. I hate how they display their merchandise and I don’t like to see clothes grouped by color. I prefer for the merchandise display to be grouped by brand. It makes it much easier for me to scan through the hangers, instead of all that digging that I need to do. Nevertheless, they selection in store was very impressive. I was surprised to find that they were carrying certain brands such as Vera Wang, Markus Lupfer, and Versus by Christopher Kane. So here are some of my personal picks. Let's start with this black sleeveless dress by Vera Wang with embellished details. Was KD 575 and now it's discounted to KD 403.

White beautifully tiered skirt by Vera Wang, look at the skirt's details on the back

Vera Wang black sleeveless top with pleated details, was KD 346 and now KD 242

A classic chic D&G lace shift dress with bow detail was KD 323 and now KD 226

For off-duty cool, pick up this white Markus Lupfer cotton tee with black velvet print. This top actually reminded me of Antonio Berardi’s dresses, like the sheer one wron by Gwyneth Paltrow in a red carpet event. The top was priced at KD 41 and now it's only KD 29.

If you feel like pulling an "Elizabeth Hurley's circa 1994" with a semi-conservative details then you might want to check out these laser-cut pieces designed by Christopher Kane for his Versus ready-to-wear debut. I'm in love with the slashes details held together with pink, red, and green aluminum safety pins. The dress was KD 491 and now it's KD 344. if the dress is too hot to handle for your taste, you can go for the black blazer shown below, the only drawback? It's still kind of pricey after the discount, I think around KD 400+?

I forgot who the designer is behind these gorgeous sheer peep-toe boots but don't they look stunning?!

Burberry baby pink ballerina flats with knotted detail are perfect for Summer AND Fall. And they don't cost more than KD 80 (I think they were even less!).

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?
