Event: Gucci's Live Streaming Event

Last week I was invited to attend the exclusive live streaming of Gucci's A/W 2012 Womenswear runway show live form the Milan Fashion Week. The event was held at FA Gallery, which I though was perfect since the ambiance of the gallery is very sleek and minimal. It sort of complemented the items on display, forcing the eyes to observe the beautiful details of the clothes and accessories shown. Gucci's team displayed a selection on the brand's S/S 2012 collection throughout the gallery. And on the other side of the gallery, guests were seated to watch the live streamed show projected on the huge wall.

For A/W 2012-2013, Gucci mixed dark glamor with modern-day romanticism. Think floral prints blossoming in the jacquard designs, long dreamy velvety dresses, short harness jackets, and equestrian-style pants in palettes of black, purple, forest greens and maroons.

According to the Gucci team, you can pre-order any A/W 2012/2013 item shown by visiting the brand's boutique located at 360 Mall. Orders will be taken until 15th March.

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? Winner of the Best Women's Magazine and Magazine of the Year award for 2005, the magazine reportedly has over 14 million readers worldwide with 26 editions in 13 languages across the world. 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. Have you read it? If yes, what do you think of it?

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?
