Serenity Sale


You know what I love about Villa Moda’s sale this year? The no crowds’ sale. I just HATE queuing at the cashier and seeing all those picked-over clothes and shoes scattered all around, it’s just revolting to me.  So imagine my delight waking into a huuuuge multi-brand designer store in semi-permanent quiet sales mode.

And I have to say, although Villa Moda received very limited collection of S/S2010 brands this year, with the absence or major ones like Prada, Miu Miu, Bottega, YSL, Gucci, Marni, and Dolce & Gabbana, I will say that it’s certainly worth popping in to check out the designer bargains of previous seasons, especially if you’re looking for some stuff to smoothly take you to Fall in style.

I was pleasantly surprised at the range and discounts available, some items were neatly displayed in the designer’s boutique and most previous seasons’ items were at the VM warehouse on the 1st floor, which requires time, patience, and sharp eyes to find fab designer bargains. And because of the long lines of squeezed hanged clothes, there will be a whole lot of rummaging and scanning to do.  So don’t think you’ll just grab and item and go in 10 mins flat. So here are some of my favorite picks.  Le’s start with the accessories...


Fur decorated a lot of Fall's 2010 heels like Valentino, Louboutin, and Wang, so why not rock the trend for less with Prada's Fall 2009 fur covered heels?  


Loved these exotic leather Prada sandals with cute leather bows from the brand's S/S 2009 collection


Miu Miu lace-up peep-toe heels from the brand's A/W 2009 collection

Miu Miu's famous embellished ballerinas are also from the brand's A/W 2009 collection


I'm in love with golden embellishment of this Dries Van Noten off-white leather clutch which can also turn into a chain shoulder bag. Price after disount was around KD 70

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?
