Color Me Beautiful


So the LBD is not your thing? How about you add a splash of colors to your evening look?  I have spotted some really beautiful pieces in the most mouthwatering shades to light up any party. Let's start with this Matthew Williamson Grecian style evening gown available at Al Othman. I love the embellished detail shown below. Simply stack a bunch of golden hand bracelets/cufs equally on both arms to master the Grecian-chic look.



OK this dress is one of those things you need to try on before you judge. It looked so boring on the hanger but it's actually very cute and fun when I tried it on.  I felt it was more suitable for a party than a wedding. The Vera Wang sleeveless and sequined cocktail dress is retailed at KD 736 and is available now at Aïshti located in the Avenues Phase II.


I have 3 words to describe this beautifully crafted strapless number by Marchesa. A Piece of Art. And even though I'm not too fond of the red crystals embellishment, the way the ruffles stand and sway when walking makes me overlook the embellished details. This is definitely a dress that should be sported by the hostess.


This is another lovely tiffany blue color with a lovelier origami creation by William Tempest which I spotted at Al Othman Boutique. But a word of advice here, you need to have a really high neck to pull off this look.  Otherwise, you'll be smudging the dress with your lipstick! Or maybe it simply needs some  alteration/ tailoring magic. Price tag? KD 1,198.

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.
