Dina JSR Debuts Her A/W 2012 Collection

With their couture inspired silhouettes, Lebanese designer Dina JSR unveils her second collection of cocktail and evening dresses for the A/W 2012 season. Her collection is a tribute to the Swiss architect Mario Botta, who uses simple lines to create graphic volumes.

Dina's aesthetic eye and ability to combine abstract origami and architectural features to her feminine designs are one of the main reasons why I was immediately drawn to her designs when I first got introduced to her work back in October 2011 and posted about her here. I'm glad that she stayed true to her signature architectural designs as that what distinguishes her from other designers within our region. Looking forward to what she comes up with next.

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?
