Visiting Beit Ahmed

I have finally managed to visit Beit Ahmed in Al Mubarakiya, Kuwait City after reading about it in so many blogs. The shop sells traditional and oriental clothing and accessories from Kuwait specifically and different parts of the world in general. It's an ideal place if you want to picks up souvenirs or if you're looking for unique gifts for friends and family. Or maybe if you need to buy an accessory or painting for your home. As I walked around the shop, I felt like this is Kuwait's semi-version of L'Artisan du Liban, in the sense of how things were being displayed and the emphasis on modern looking caftans in traditional fabrics, and other knick knacks here and there. Check out how cute the African dolls are!

I liked this wooden necklace with a profile of an African man

A colorful pot that serve as a chair and also to store thing under the lid.

I liked this show bag, I bought a few to use them as gift bags so that the receiver can re-use it instead of wasting away wrapping paper.

Yes she was and still is!

Colorful cotton bags perfect for the beach!

Check out the prints on the shawls shown in the photo above, so quirky cool! And below is a close-up of a bed headboard. Quite unique no?

Chanel Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection

I can't remember if I shared my views about Chanel's Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection on my blog or not, but I thought I'd share with you some photos of the pieces on display now at Chanel Boutique in Kuwait, Prestige in the Avenues and Salhiya Complex. I wasn't too crazy about the clothes. However, I did like some of the bags which had pompoms and tassels on them, as well as the gigantic pearl clutch. I also loved the Moroccan-inspired pointy flats and the silver jewelry adorned with coins and crescents. Of course the shoes were sold out in my size and I wasn't so crazy about the patterned ones. I LOVED the flap bag with Pom Poms, but it was above my budget. Overall the collection felt more Moroccan than Dubai-an. I wish if they have incorporate more of the our gulf region's culture into the designs. Oh And I added to this post photos of Chanel's milk carton shaped python clutch bag embellished with a CC signature. They're not part of the Dubai colle

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit. After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the Altuzarra sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away. Which pair would you go for?
