Stunning Samovar

Knowing how much I love skulls and eccentric items, the owners of SAMOVAR invited me to their showroom to take a closer look at a new rug they have recently received. When the owner first described it to me before seeing it, I honestly couldn't visualize the beauty of a rug covered with skulls. But when I saw it up-close and personal I immediately appreciated the craftsmanship and the design. And I loved it! Yes this style might not appeal to many, but I'm sure such design would have its own fan base. Obviously this piece is not suitable for kids rooms or a bedroom, but I can really see it in a retail store, hip office, or in the living room of a fashion editor/artist.. such a statement piece.

If skulls are not your cup of tea, I present you with other selection of gorgeous rugs that can make a statement just as strong as the one above. I was extremely impressed by their enormous selection of  rugs. I'm telling you, if you are looking for a rug that is modern, fresh, funky or maybe just a little different from the norm, then this is the place to be. Scroll down for more...

SAMOVAR Carpets and Antiques showroom is located at Al Tilal Complex in Shuwaikh.

This rug is actually made of dark denim and covered with geometric like embroidery.. loving the color combination of this one.

This beautiful rug is on trend with this season's mix'n'unmatch designs/prints

Some beautiful accessories for the home too...

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.

Amazing Alia

Several months ago I posted about Alia Designs , a Kuwaiti talented designer of traditional clothes and dresses. Back then, I liked one of the items featured on her website.
