The Opera Show


I'm obviously not an "insider" on the art scene. But I think I have my moments that have been shaped by loving beautiful things and timely questions to my Art-loving friend *wink*, who taught me how to appreciate art. So the past couple of years I have started to grow interest in Arts. So while walking around Dubai Mall I spotted this really beautiful contemporary art gallery called Opera Gallery. At first I thought it was a local concept. But after a long and informative discussion with the salesman, I’ve found out that gallery currently has an international network of branches in all of the world’s major art capitals: Paris, New York, Miami, Hong Kong, London, Singapore, Monaco, Geneva, Seoul, Venice and finally Dubai. The first branch opened in 1994 by founder Gilles Dyan. In addition to contemporary art, Opera Gallery provides a showcase for the works of famous painters such as Picasso, Dalí, and Warhol. The gallery is always on the lookout to promote new artistic talents.

You can find out more about Opera Gallery by clicking here. I'll leave you now with some of my favorite pieces.

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!! I wonder how many hours it took to create this masterpiece!
Hermes candy anyone? By a French artist and I completely forgot her name!

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?
