Symphony By Day


Since the event was at night, we decided to take a walk around Dubai Mall, check out the shopping scene, do some window shopping (which ended with big purchases that don’t fit the suitcase!! Typical!), and locate Symphony Boutique so that later I don’t waste time walking around the mall wearing the highest heels I have ever tortured my feet in.

When I got to Symphony Boutique I thought it would be closed for the evening event’s preparations. I was surprised to find that it was open to the public and they were holding a “Meet the Designers” event. Meet the designers as in The Hills and The City star and designer Whitney Port, shoe designer Rupert Sanderson, shoe designer Camilla Skovgaard, Erin Fetherston (first photo), Project Runway's youngest winner Christian Siriano, and the face of Symphony AW10  campaign and one of America's Next Top Model’s finalists Raina Hein. Of course being the type that easily gets star struck I instantaneously went in and started snapping the pics away like a paparazzi, click click click, and started chit chatting with all of the designers. The conversations all started with the following unimpressive and so predictable statements “I came all the way to see you!” (For god’s sake!!! It’s just a 2 hours flight) And “I LOVE your designs”! (VERY original!)

Anyways, I’ll leave you now with the pics and comments…

That's Raina Hein signing her autograph on a limited edition Symphony Postcards. She is incredibly sweet and down to earth. And her skin is so smooth, I don't think she'll ever need to put on a foundation.


Glimpse of what's in store...


Super skinny long legs with super shiny long hair. Siiiigh


Charlotte Olympia!!! Total shoe bliss!

Camilla Skovgaard TDF peep-toe heels! (mental note: add them to the shopping list)

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?
