Affordable Accessories

Last season I was inspired by fashion runway and icons and their facination with fur stoles, colored or natural, worn over the shoulder a la Prada style or hung on bags a la Olsens style. So I started searching for a faux fur stole key chain.to hang it on my oversized bag, kind of like Louis Vuitton's S/S 2010 handbags. I couldn't find any, and with time I lost interest. And to my surprise, the other day while I was shopping at H&M. I have found 3 different styles of the faux fur key chains (shown above), and their price range between KD 1 - KD 1.500! BUT I didn't like the quality at all. They weren't soft at all. but hey! that should be expected since they're priced so cheap!

I think this season H&M has the coolest accessories on High Street boutiques level. Check out this set of rings shaped as a bunny, a fox, and some tree branches.

Multi-chain intertwined necklace

These pair of tassle earrings are so on-trend. I've been lusting over Gwyneth Paltrow's hot pink tassel earrings which were seen worn by the chic acctress recently. I can't seem to find a photo of her online wearing them.

This green soft leather bag with black straps from Zara looks like a Marni bag! Price tag? KD 45.500

I liked this mustard colored oversized leather clutch from Zara. I would like smashin' with denim-on-denim looks. And it has a hint of Celine. Price tag? KD 29.500.

I know which photo you're referring to ;) But that's not the one. I swear I saw her photo very recently wearing a beige top I think and wearing hot pink tassel earrings that fell to her shoulders... I'll just need to search more for it!

But thanks for sharing ;)

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.

Sephora Opening Soon At The Avenues II

Beauty Junkies rejoice! The famous retailer of perfumes and cosmetics and the leading beauty chain in Europe and US, Sephora , will be opening soon at The Avenues Phase II. Personally, I like Sephora not only because of its tempting cosmetic selection, but mainly because I don't feel pressured by sales associates to buy stuff that I don't really need. I can actually touch and try the products without having the sales associate stalking me around and giving me some unnecessary comments about my skin/make-up. I think Sephora will make it big here if it sells its high-end cosmetics which are unavailable at other beauty stores/pharmacies in Kuwait. Does anyone have any product recommendations or favorites?
