I think a lot of number of people who get invited to weddings in Kuwait stopped looking for over the top gowns and dresses, they look for something simple and chic and the same time, especially this season where looking minimalist is all the rage thanks to Celine and Chloe. Plus the make up for that full-on simplicity with OTT and statement making jewellery. Unless you're a close relative of the hosted wedding/party, then only you'd probably want an OTT gown. :)

My favorite is the Gucci dress. It's plain yet has a kind of edge to it.

Well, I personally don't think I would end up spending THAT much money on a dress to attend a wedding of an individual I hardly even know. Unless you have deep pockets, then that's a different story. I think for a middle class individual such as myself it would be more REALISTIC for me to go to BCBG or somewhere similar to purchase a nice dress. Like you said, it if it were the wedding of a relative, then investing a high amount of money on a dress would make sense, but not for just "another" wedding. It just doesn't make sense to invest that kind of money on one of those high end designer dresses.

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 .
