Channel Your Inner Betty Draper

I was walking around the Avenues the other day when I noticed the window display of Banana Republic had an announcement stating that they have received the Mad Men Collection. So I immediately went in and inquired about this limited-edition line. Apparently, it was created in collaboration with the show's Emmy-winning Costume Designer Janie Bryant. This capsule collection offers a modern take on '60s style and features nearly 65 pieces of apparel and accessories for men and women.

I wasn't over;y excited about the women's collection but it did have some pieces that I liked like a chic leopard print trench coat and high-waisted skirts (loved them!). The collection also included some tailored floral dresses, lots of light weight colored cardigans, silk tie-neck blouses, and statement accessories like print scarves and leopard print pump heels. They're more suitable for office wear. Check it out if you're in the area. You can get a better look at the collection by clicking here.

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.

Did you know that Marie Claire, an international women's magazine, has been launched in Kuwait and their second issue is already in newsstands?

Marie Clair - Kuwait is in Arabic of course. The magazine offers an editorial mix of journalism with glamour, fashion and beauty coverage, and feature stories of lifestyle and serious women related issues. All by an Arabic editorial team.

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 .
