We're Off to See the Wizard

I’m not a big fan of printed bags but these Furla limited edition bags had me stop dead in my tracks while passing by the boutique’s window display in Arraya Complex. I was mesmerized by the distinguished and stunning graphic print created by the Leitmotiv duo Fabio Sasso and Juan Caro.

So I went in to check out the Leitmotiv for Furla collection made out of waxed canvas. The collection of clutches, totes, and shopper bags carried the Wizard of Oz theme with Dorothy donning her ruby red shoes, and of course the designer beautifully illustrated the entire gang too: Toto, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Wizard. My fave is the clutch which actually reminded me of Sarah’s Bags. And even though the printed bags are not so practical, I loved this collection as it brought back lovely childhood memories.

According to the sales lady, this collaborated collection is designed for NY’s Fashion’s Night Out and supposed to be released on 10th September! So woohoo, you get to see them first right here in K-town!

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?
