Big in Japan


 To say that I was amazed by the Japanese Pottery Exhibition at the Amricani Cultural Centre would be an understatement. And I'm not referring to the exhibition only, but the entire ambiance! The installation of the exhibition? The serenity of the place? The mix of old architecture with modern interior? I honestly felt that I was visiting a renowned museum somewhere abroad! I felt proud! Finally an official cultural hub. A place that I can take people who are visiting Kuwait to, other than the usual suspects.

Now back to the beautiful exhibition, it is held to mark the 50th anniversary for the establishment of Japan-Kuwait diplomatic relations. And it's showcasing the pottery work of 35  Japanese artists active in seven major sites in Japan. Some carry on long traditions of pottery production while others seeking to create individualistic works exploring new forms. Of course, it goes without saying that I was introduced to the art of pottery in its most pristine form and quality.

The exhibition is on till 27th January 201 from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM at the at Amricani Cultural Center (ACC), Gulf Road, Kuwait City. Fridays and Saturdays from 2pm to 7pm.

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?
