Just Like Everything!

While walking around Nişantaşı area in Istanbul, one of the trendiest go-to destination for shopping and considered the fashion center of Istanbul, I spotted a shoes boutique. At first glance I thought the store was a multi-brand boutique that sold authentic products by YSL, Miu Miu, and Louboutin. But after a closer inspection, I was shocked to find out that all shoes on display were replicas of high-end brands! YSL Tribute Platform Sandals? Check. Miu Miu Cherry sandals and embellished sneakers? Check. Louboutin studded heels? Check check and check. The funny/sad thing is that a few walks down the block you will find the high-end boutiques selling the real thing! I wonder how the owners got away with it...

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.
