Lovely.
Bs ma khali9at mo'9at elshoulder pads, shoulder studs and basically anything that has to do with shoulders?
A7is 9arlaha sneen. I mean that trend was really hot back in 2009, when Balmain basically started it. And ofcourse he was inspired by the 80s and certain artists from the 80s, like Michael Jackson and Prince.
I still don't own anything with shoulder pads/ studs, since I am no rock star... Akhaf ashtree qi6a3 w t9eer qadeema o out of fashion. That's why I stick with classic and basic peices. Boring, I know. But I'd rather not look at old pics of myself and think LOL!
What do you think? Do you think it's going to be out of style soon?
Will I look funny wearing it?

Well you don't have to go for the shoulder pads look. Yes I agree it's not as "in" in fashion as it was first introduced by Balmain. BUT I do like the embellished sleeves and embellished pants looks which she has created. I also find the silhouette of the dress featured in the first photo with the studded belt very glamorous and powerful.

Classic pieces doesn't necessarilt translate to "boring". On the contrary, they look timeless chic to me. Just like the thing that Jacki O wore and Grace Kelly too!

I did buy blazers with statement shoulder pads a couple of seasons ago, but I'm not going to give them away. Actually I'll be storing them for when the time this trend emerges again in 10 years time or so. :)

Hijab & Co.
It looks powerful ;)

Sam

Mademoiselle

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.

Amazing Alia

Several months ago I posted about Alia Designs , a Kuwaiti talented designer of traditional clothes and dresses. Back then, I liked one of the items featured on her website. This time I'm going ga-ga over her latest Ramadan collection of Kaftans and darraa'at! Especially the one shown here on the first picture. Looks very young, comfortable, and oh-so-perfect for after futoor! For inquiries please visit the website or call (+965) 642-7400.
