Ninas de Papa

Unless you've been hibernating in your underground bunker and being anti-social media for the past few weeks, you probably have heard about the hottest hair news sweeping K-town, that is floral headbands by local brand Ninas de Papa

Ninas de Papa design over-the-top and oh-so-pretty floral hair bands using artificial flowers made of high quality materials such as silk. They're all handmade by the designers themselves Sarah Alabdulkareem and Nora Al Amer. So you can actually tell that the hairbands are a true labour of love. 

A couple of weeks back, my friend and I paid them a visit at their studio. I was amazed by the beauty of the hairbands up-close and we immediately started trying on every sample they had. I know for sure we gave poor Nora a headache with our indecisiveness and over-excitement. Plus we had a hard time deciding on what we liked the most. They all looked so pretty!  

According to the designers, they were initially inspired by one of their Norwegian friend who wore a fresh flower hairband to a wedding, so the girls decided to give it a shot and try designing their own. Their first resort collection includes seven different hairbands inspired by seven of their close friends including hip fashion blogger and DJ Bip Ling. If you're interested to get your hands on one or two (or three!), then make sure to follow AlOthman boutique on their facebook, twitter, or instagram to find out when it will hit the shop floor, as Ninas de Papa Resort collection will be exclusively sold at AlOthman Boutique.

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?
