Zara gets Waxed

Ladies, forget about J Brand Houlihan's and your boyfriend-cut jeans (temporarily of course as I can't part with mine!). This season, get yourself a pair of waxed denim. The new "it" jeans of the season. And I'm glad I spotted 3 budget-friendly versions at Zara to test the trend first before I throw my money down the drain. Zara had the waxed denim in 3 colors: Bordeaux (like the one featured here which I ended up buying because the denim was in the color of the season and looked great too!), silver-ish black, and dusty-gold. I tried them on and they were perfect! It's like wearing a pair of leather pants minus the discomfort and the sweating (excusez-moi). And they're light weight, which makes them perfect for our weather, and they give your off-duty look some seriously fierce and über-chic attitude. And now I'm debating whether I should buy J Brand's Gigi mid-rise waxed cropped jeans in black or dark brown.  Hmm.. or maybe get Mrs. Beck's denim?. And that's not all! I also spotted this very Alexander Wang-ish white tee with a splash of waxed paint on one side of the shoulder also at Zara. Price tag? KD 8.500.

Hmm.. I think Zara has been dominating my high-street posts! And hey! I'm not complaining! I'm glad to find a way to test fashion trends at very reasonable prices.

oh love the top!
I was there just the other day, and found a hot gold tunic. Didn't get it because the fabric made me feel like I was wearing a plastic garbage bag :(
I'll go tomorrow and hunt your top :)

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.
