You can score really no-nonsense designer deals at Underline Boutique ! Let’s take this glamorous metallic clutch by Louboutin as an example, before price was KD 390 and now it’s around KD 109?!?! Dead-on deal! I’d be wearing and tearing this clutch forever! Me like a lot! I have also spotted this cute exotic skin flap front mini bag by Jimmy Choo which also comes with a detachable gold chain strap. It was priced at KD 400+ and now it's sold for around KD 180 if I’m not mistaken. Not bad at all for designer deal hunting!

So yesterday I tweeted that the much-anticipated Venomous Villains Collection has hit MAC stores around K-town. Luckily for me, I have managed to get some lipsticks, lip glosses, and eye shadows that I have been eyening before they sell out, to add to my humble  Venomous Villains  collection of.. erm.. one lipstick ! And as usual, the packaging was just adorable.  The collection makes a perfect gift for your female friends, beauty junkies, and those who lived their childhood watching theses  Venomous Villains on screen.

I'm sure by now, everyone knows Nuqat . But for those of you who have been living under a rock, here's a small brief.  Nuqat , firstly known as "Nuqat Ala Al Huroof", started off with one objective in mind and that is "to develop Arab creativity on all levels". The first consortium occurred in May 2009 with a focus on arabic branding and copywriting. This year, the 2010 edition is focusing on Visual Pollution , in which several graphic design and architecture disciplines were integrated together in the aim to move the bar one level up.  Nuqat   also held seminars and workshops by some prominent graphic designers, entrepreneurs, and architects in our region. The events were so inspiring and the evenings were even more magical. I personally applaud all the people who were behind this amazing initiative for their dedication, organization, and professionalism. And I can't what to see what they'll have for us next year, which is not going to be e...

I have a bunch of flats and only recently I have noticed that my collection has a pattern, almost every season I tend to buy a pair of French Sole  because I get weak when I spot their new seasonal colours, and use my favourite excuse to purchase a new pair: I tend to wear my flats out . Anyhow, if you're a fan, you might be interested to know that French Sole boutique has recently received its new collection of flats in irresistible colours, featured here. The ostrich flats are sold for KD 69 only. French Sole is located in Al-Salhiya, Mezzanine 2, next to Moda In, and parallel to Bouquet.

Am I asking for too much? I just want a cold winter in Kuwait like we used to 15 years ago! Blame it on global warming! It would be really cool to rock this beautiful suede jacket with sheep skin detail, here in K-town rather than keeping it in the closet and waiting for a winterish trip. The jacket is available currently at Uterqüe in the Avenues.

I've found some really cool statement pieces for fall at FashCode boutique in the Avenues Phase II. There was a luxurious line of coats and vests made from fine fur, suede, and leather garments called Rizal that caught my attention, It mixes classic tailored jackets, coats, and vests with some interesting details. Think  studded vests, structured shoulder pads.  Also if you're a fan of the always quirky cool and colorful Japanese brand Tsumori Chisato , then you might want to check out her Fall arrivals (shown in the last photos).  Gorgeous runway pieces including silk dresses, long flowy skirts and blouses and awesome and so-on-trend oversized cape.

If you have been following my tweets , you'd know that TopShop's Make up will be available at Topshop boutique in the Avenues on 28th October. Get a first look of their new A/W pieces and tutorials here . Photo credit: TopShop

Yes I do. And I also love these decorative vintage plates, which make a perfect house-warming gift. The plates are currently being sold at The Yard - Kuwait . 

Let's luxuriate in fall's hottest cover-up - shearling ! Prepare to be seduced by TheOutnet.com's selection of  timeless styles by Karl by Karl Donoghue, Dolce & Gabbana, Donna Karan and more at up to 70% off . Choose from biker-style jackets or sumptuous belted coats day or night with sleek leather pants and sky-high heels! Or nod to the trend with a super stylish stole or shrug. Wear it with everything!

We all need a pair of classy and elegant pumps, that's a given. But if you're tired of the same old black high heel pumps and you’re on a tight budget, then you may want to check out these budget friendly versions from Zara and Uterqüe . Zara’s version, featured in the first photo, has a zipper detail from the back which hold the feet in while walking. And I love Uterqüe’s cutout leather pumps shown below, which obviously were inspired by Lanvin .

It's time to turn our attention to the forever-cool shoulder bag. It's the chicest carry-way for city girls and TheOutnet.com has got an array of styles to suit whatever your fashion mood. Make a statement with python-embellished Marc Jacobs, keep it chic with dove gray leather by Sara Berman, or go all-out urban hippie with Vanessa Bruno's coral fringed num ber. With discounts of up to 65% , it's the perfect time for a bag update!

The amazingly talented Amira Behbahani in collaboration with Kiehl's has painted this wonderful exhibition of paintings in support of the Ghalia Charity which supports children with kidney disease. The event is being held at the beautiful FA gallery   on Tuesday 2nd November and will run until 5th November and 50% of the proceeds go to this great cause. Kiehl's will also be launching a product called Midnight Recovery, and the super creative designer Michelle Roberts of Jake and Gigi will be specially designing 10 limited edition bottles beautifully encrusted with Swarovski crystals. These will be unveiled on the night and the proceeds of these will also go to the Ghalia Charity.

First of all I’d like to give a warm welcome and a big hug to Bottega Veneta ! Finally!! You have been truly missed!  The brand now has its own boutique which recently opened at 360 Mall , unfortunately minus the clothes! Nevertheless, It’s back for good. So that;s good enough for me. Bottega has this timeless glam appeal to its shoes and accessories. Just take a sharper look at the meticulous stitching, beautiful leather, flawless quality, and exquisite embroidery.  These are just a few of Bottega Veneta’s fine details that bring any outfit to life. I still own a pair of Bottega heels and a couple of bags which I bought at least 8 years ago and they still look brand new.  Love it!
