Discovering Daiso

I came across one of the most bizarre stores in Kuwait the other day, Daisoapparently it's a leading Japanese chain of value store right in the heart of Souk Al Salmiya. How come I never heard of it before?! Anyhow, it was very... interesting browsing the shelves of this store. It actually felt more Chinese than Japanese if that makes any sense? The products sold were very low in price and I discovered some really "unique" things, like nylon ear caps, Double eyelid thingy (!!), lint remover, all sorts if beauty products and face masks, toys, and other knick-knacks. I ended up buying several colorful lanterns to decorate our balcony with, shown in the last photo, and the good thing about them is that they work using batteries, so they're safe to use indoors as well. 

Just in time for Halloween! I actually liked these masks a lot for some reason, I think they remind me of my childhood and watching cartoons like Grendizer

Two-toes socks

I loved these mini tea pots and ceramic figurines shown below

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.
