Sleek & Chic


One of the names that caught my eyes during Paris’s autumn/winter 2010 Haute Couture collection was designer Bouchra Jarrar. I’m not sure but I think I read somewhere that she’s of Moroccan descent. Bouchra has worked with the most significant names of our time such as Nicolas Ghesquiere of Balenciaga and also as a fashion director of Christian Lacroix’s studio.

I find her designs strongly emphasize on two elements loved by fashion editors everywhere lately:  simplicity and elegance.  I personally loved the chosen color palette of white and navy, and those sharply cut silhouettes with a hint of metallic are just marvelous.  I personally didn’t feel that Bouchra Jarrar’s collection had a couture factor but it’s definitely a collection that would make any modern-day Grace Kelly proud.

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.
