Event: A visit to Hurrem Sultan


FA Gallery have sent me an invitation to attend the launch of their latest exhibition titled Hurrem Sultan, paying tribute to Hurrem Sultan, the renowned Queen of the Ottoman Empire who has embodied the image of empowering women for many centuries. But because I have a really bad memory, the event completely slipped my mind. Luckily, Me Blogging posted about it and I added "Go to FA Gallery TODAY!" to my never ending to-do list.

The exhibition features exquisite items by leading creative Turkish designers and artists in the fields of fashion, accessories, and furniture. I must say that the moment I saw the below featured tables, designed by Engin Ozmen, I was hooked! It's a beautiful piece of art! Scroll down to see what else was on display. The exhibition is on till Thursday 5th October.

I think the table was priced at KD 750.

dear confashions,

i am an ardent/obsessive fan of yours. i look at your blog as a daily, strict, ritual of mine. If this ritual is in any way impeded i lose severe calories. You are a gem of all bloggers. You write with compassion and the support you provide to new/old designers today you should be awarded the noble prize!
However, the ladies shoes you pictured earlier, with the mismatched fabric. who, what and where can i get a pair? If possible.

Keep doing what you do. You are an inspiration to us all.

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 .
