Visiting Nur

dar.nur, the brainchild of Kuwaiti entrepreneur Noor Al Zabin, has long been one of the pioneering “it” shops for shabby chic, retro, and unique home accessories in Kuwait. And ever since it  has moved from its old location to a bigger and better shop in Shuwaikh's Seven Zones Mall, I haven't had the chance to visit it until recently.  And I'm glad I did! I think they have expanded  their selection, because now they have everything for in and around the home.  The well-edited collection includes furniture, rugs, dishes, art, books, lighting, stationary . . . pretty much anything you could ask for to turn a bland house into a cozy and hip home. You can also find great gift ideas for those who have everything. Featured here are some of my favorite pieces available currently at the store.

To find out more about dar.nur, visit their website or facebook page. For additional inquires, please call (965) 22258699.

I can’t take my eyes off these incredible giant bean bags! L.O.V.E! They remind me of Me blogging's post. Price tag? KD 350 each.



I fell in love with this one off Turkish Ikat table and poufs, a dar.nur design. The poufs can be used seating or side tables.  Price tag? KD 495

If you're a big fan of Syrian artist Sabhan Adam, you will find a coffee table book featuring beautiful photos of his work. A great gift idea for someone who appreciates art.
Beautifully and brightly colored plexi tables with arabesque-like designs
Leather trays in green and hot fuchsia
The below and above beautiful paintings are by the talented Kuwaiti artist Ghada Al Kandari

Wow. I am so amazed with the wonderful designs. They all look lovely and awesome. The chair with colorful details is eye catching. But what really amazed me are the paintings. Cool concepts! Glad you have shared it.

The retro looking chairs are STUNNING! These would be the first items I'd purchase when I plan to do a home makeover :)

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.
