Are Those Missoni Chairs?!

Before you continue reading this post, please scroll down and tell me, don't these chairs look like they're designed by Missoni??!! I got stopped at my tracks when I saw them at..... BANTA! And they're around KD 35 I think, not bad at all. But what I liked even more are the above featured plastic chairs selling for KD 11 or KD 10 each. My favorite of course is the orange one. I can just imagine having them in our balcony or maybe use them in an outdoor garden. Very suitable for our unstable weather, I wouldn't want to pay more than KD 10 for something that will be constantly exposed to dust, humidity, rain, and all kinds of sever hot weather.

In addition to Missoni inspired chairs, I also spotted furniture inspired by Roche Bobois, a longtime favorite furniture brand for a lot of people in Kuwait. I personally think it's slightly overrated. Anyhow, BANTA Furniture is located at Hadi Center in Dhajeej in Farwaniya.

You mean inspired by Kartell's "Mademoiselle" line not Roche Bobois... :)

No actually I was referring to The Maj Jong Sectional from Roche Bobois, Benta has created something almost identical, unfortunately I didn't take a photo of it :)

As for the chairs that looked like Missoni, I didn't know they were inspired by Kartell's "Mademoiselle" line, they just looked very missoni to me ;) so thanks for sharing :)

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?
