If I Was to Host a Garden Party...

If I was to host a garden party or a Ramadan Ghabqa, I'd use this beautiful Mashrabia Cabana as the main seating area. Designed by André C. Meyerhans, a perpetual, aperiodical pattern evolves in all three dimensions around the cabana. Where absent on the metal structure, the pattern is applied on the shading screen to be complete. A few openings, randomly picked, serve as lights. Sheer curtains and a generous chandelier create an elegant feeling inside.

The Mashrabia Cabana will be showcased by JAMM ART DUBAI tonight at Toby Arts, Warehouse # 11, Al Quoz 1in Duba and until May 15th. Price tag? USD 33,000/AED 120,000.

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?
