Dear Confashion: Orient 499's New Extension

Beirut-based gallery Orient 499, which I have previously featured here on my blog, is loved by people from our region for it's beautiful and unique selection of oriental clothes and home accessories with a modern twist. Yesterday, I have been informed by Orient 499's representative that the gallery has just been extended with around 250sq/m of new space. They have also doubled the space dedicated to their Kaftans.

Other new additions? the hamman products with lots of new collections of hand woven towels and peshtemal, a children's corner with a new collection of girls mini kaftans as well as sherwel for little boys, a room dedicated for men, a dining room with products to master l'art de la table, a bedroom with a beautifull collection of bed linen, and a living room with new designs of their iconic oriental sofas and lights,

Orient 499's representative has shared with me these lovely photos of their new extension. Can you feel the beauty and the serenity of the place just by looking at the photos?! And that beautiful courtyard in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Beirut?!! Man! I want to live inside this place!! If you're planning to visit Beirut anytime soon, you must pass by the gallery. It is located in a modern building opposite the old Holiday Inn Downtown Beirut.

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.

Marie Claire Kuwait

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.

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?
