Pearls and Brains

In a couple of years Dala Al-Fuwaires, a Kuwaiti girl and post-grad student, will be getting noticed not only for her brains (she’s currently writing her thesis and teaching Freshman/Sophomore level classes at Purdue University), but also for her fantastic sense of design which had me equally impressed.

Dalal designs and makes eclectic jewelry that I find completely delightful. She has started about three months ago and has made quite a name for her brand Olives and Pearls. “I try to stay true to my style when designing my handmade pieces, but sometimes it's good to step out of my shell and design something that I wouldn't wear, but someone else definitely would”, expressed Dalal.

Great work Dalal and looking forward to see more! You can purchase Olives and Pearls through her Etsy boutique.

Chanel Bags on Discount?!

If you thought that getting a cheap Chanel bag that's within your budget is something too far fetched, then think again. You'll be surprised to know that Chanel's boutique located at Salhiya Complex is currently selling several bags, that are a maximum 1 or 2 seasons old, on discount . And we're not talking about a 2 or 5% discount here, these bags are 50% off their original price! For some reason I always thought that Chanel bags never go on sale. But I guess the printed ones or the ones that are made out of the collection's main fabric have to go on sale. Anyways, I managed to take photos of these 2 beauties. What I love about those bags is that they're a classic shape that never goes out of style, their print is young and refreshing, plus they're quilted. I think they could be a collector's item. Both bags featured here are sold for approximately KD 250 .
