Vintage Reconstructed By Bambah

My friend once told me that vintage shopping is an acquired taste, a statement that I only believed in a couple of years ago. I didn't realize how exciting vintage clothes and accessories are until a few years back when I was rummaging through my mom's closets and found a couple of really beautiful dresses from the 70's and 80's (one of them were her wedding dress) and in amazing great codition. Honestly I was suprised to find vintage stuff in my mom's closet because she tends to declutter things every minute! I was happy to see that she managed to hold on them.

Speaking of vintage, the other day I have received a very cool invite from Bambah Boutique, Dubai's number one shoppig destination for vintage clothes and accessories. The boutique offers an exquisite treasure of vintage fashion from the 1930’s to the 1980’s, a mixture of everyday classics and designer pieces such as Yves Saint Laurent, Lanvin, Dior, and Nina Ricci. The invite came with a small sewing kit, a lookbook with real denim as a cover, the boutique's brochure, a cute sleeveless top with studded collars, and extra buttons and zippers (I think to customize the top maybe?). 

The invite was to celebrate the launch of Bambah Boutique new line Vintage Reconstructed, a new casual chic line by the boutique's owner, where she designs one-of-a-kind pieces made out of re-fashioned vintage and give the pieces a very modern on-trend look. Think military jackets, colored denim, colors, buttons, studs, and  more clothing with an attitude. Unfortunately I couldn't make it to the event which was held in Dubai. But you can view the collection here

Thank you  Maha of Bambah Boutique for the cutest invite!

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?
