Event: At Buzzart Summer Festival

Some days during the Summer I get really board especially these days when most of my family members and some of my close friends are out of town. So I was pleased when I received an invite to attend the opening night of FA Gallery's Buzzart Summer Festival, which have launched last night and will run until 29th August. The festival brings together unique creations and design items from different parts of the world. So I called one of my friends and asked her to join me. As we arrived, we noticed that the place was very lively and products such as shoes, accessories, caftans, ready-to-wear, house accessories & furniture, and perfumes were displayed in various spaces throughout the gallery. Although the exhibition space is kind of small, I did find several items that I really liked (excluding caftans! For some reason I didn't make an effort to scan them over)). So here some highlights of the evening...

I really liked these pair of aennis eunis arabesque heels which I have featured before on my blog here. Too bad they didn't come in half sizes!

These clutches, made from wood and mother of pearl, are by a Brazilian brand and they're my 2nd most favorite pieces on display. Starting price KD 197+.

A new line of perfumes by Jenan Al Faris. I couldn't try them all, but 2 out of 3 perfumes which I have tried smelled really good! Price tag? Around KD 40.

Fahad Al Marzouq's shoes collection was on display too.

Lovely and very casual chic mix and unmatch tops designed by Beirut-based designer Nadine Mneimneh, which I have also featured here.

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.

Did you know that Marie Claire, an international women's magazine, has been launched in Kuwait and their second issue is already in newsstands?

Marie Clair - Kuwait is in Arabic of course. The magazine offers an editorial mix of journalism with glamour, fashion and beauty coverage, and feature stories of lifestyle and serious women related issues. All by an Arabic editorial team. Have you read it? If yes, what do you think of it?

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 .
