Rushing through Hala Ramadan Expo II

I finally managed to pass by Hala Ramadan Expo II which is currently being held at 360 Mall. And because I got stuck in traffic for 45 minutes and had another appointment later in the evening, I had to leave the Expo early and I didn't get the chance to see all the booths that I wanted to check like Aila bags, Raghad collection, Pieces by Farah, and AnaKatarina Eco Gioielli, I previously featured her booth here when I lusted after her wooden and diamond bracelets. Sigh!

However, I did spend the majority of my time at Al Mubarak Center's booth, because that sparkly bracelet encrusted with crystals/quartz stopped me in my tracks. Very Pamela Love/Chanel-esque! I loved it! And they had matching hoop earrings too. Actually the booth was filled with gorgeous and unique accessories like statement wide belts, jewelry, evening clutches, hair bands and more. Scroll down for some of my favorite pieces...

The Hala Ramadan Expo II will be on until Wednesday 25th April. Opening hours are from 10:00am to 10:00 pm.

I think this necklace is by Maryam Keyhani, whom I previously featured here... but I'm not quite sure.

Gorgeous belts in exotic skin and colorful feathers, perfect to accentuate your waist when wearing loose dresses or caftans.

The belt that I liked the most was this one...

Remember this leather quilted clutch by Sarah's Bag which I've featured previously here? It's even prettier up-close, and it came in a lovely shade of dusty pink. Price tag? KD 250.

Fann's booth also had a lovely selection of modern home accessories with middle eastern twist, beautifully decorated with Arabic calligraphy. You can follow them on instagram on @fann_.

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?
