Modern Mosque in Kuwait

Seeing modern mosques being built in a way that do not conform to traditional Islamic architectural style is something rare to me. And as far as I know, the only mosques with modern architecture in Kuwait are Fatima Mosque located in the suburb of Abdullah Al Salem area, and Ras Salmiya’s pyramid-shaped mosque. So while I was on my way to a friend's house I was pleasantly surprised when I spotted this modern looking mosque.  The mosque was still under construction but you can tell from its architecture and the details used that once completed this will be another masterpiece to treasure in Kuwait.

The mosque is located at Abdullah Al Salem area. Take a look at the photos below for different views of the mosque.
Beautiful wood detail on the mosque's door (the main entrance)
I noticed the ceiling was designed using blocks of Arabic calligraphy and on each block you can read one of the 99 perfect names and attributes of Allah.
I like the way the minaret is covered

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.

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 .
