Shopping in Doha

During my stay in Doha I managed to visit one of their latest and biggest shopping malls called The Villagio. The moment I stepped inside I immediately remembered a mall I’ve been to almost 4 years ago in Las Vegas. It had the same Venetian theme as the Venetian Mall complete with a canal and gondola ride. I spotted some major designer brand boutiques like: Marc Jacobs, LV, Gucci, Valentino, Burberry, Bottega Veneta, and the soon-to-be-open Prada (heart!).

Most shops had their A/W 2010 on display, only a few boutiques had the cruise collection available in store. So I made my favorite picks from the new collections starting with the wear-forever Bottega clutches in mouth-watering colors. One piece that took my breath away was a strapless lace-like cocktail dress by Marc Jacobs in summery hues of minty green and baby blue. And even though they didn't have my size (isn't that always the case?!) I  just had to try it on anyways, it looked STUNNING (had to leave the back zipper open! And since when American sizes became so tiny?!!). Price tag? 17,600 Qatari riyal which is around KD 1,360.

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.
