Speaking of FA Gallery...

While shopping at FA Gallery, I had to check out their latest art exhibition titled Shadows of Memory, a group exhibition of seven artists: Reza Salem and Amira Behbehani from Kuwait, Sina Atta from Iraq, Ginane Bacho from Lebanon, Liz Allam from Egypt, Moataz from Sudan and Mary Tuma from United States.

This piece was one of my favorite pieces exhibited by Egypt-based Danish artist Liz Allam. Perhaps because it reminded me of my favorite doll when I was a child, the Cabbage Patch Kids, which I used to drag it with me everywhere I went. My mom gave it a way when I started coloring its eyelids with purple paint and cutting its hair pretending to be at a beauty parlor! This oil on canvas piece is priced at KD 2,300.

This beautifully textured art piece of mixed media on paper is created by Lebanese artist Ginane Bacho and is titled Clawed of Memories. According to the gallery's brochure, the piece is about documenting stages of her life in US, France, Kuwait, and other countries.

The exhibition is on until Wednesday 22nd June 2011. FA Gallery is located opposite to Souk Sharq and next to Amiri Hospital.

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.
