Not a Bag Lady

Everyone who knows me knows that I'm not THAT into bags. It's something that I only realized a few years ago. I have nothing against bags per se- I gotta admit that some styles do excite me now and then. It's just sometimes I don't get it when some women become so worked up about getting a Birkin or a certain Chanel, or that their price tag is triple the price of 3 nights stay in a 5-star hotel in London! That's just too much! So the past year I have started to settle for bags/clutches that a) I like, b) won't break the bank, c)wearable time and time again. 

During my last trip to London, I was shopping with my sister when I finally spotted a clutch that caught my fashion radars. It was a Balenciaga flap-clutch made out of straw. It looked perfect for our Summer and was roomy enough to fit my essentials like mobile, keys, mini notepad, lipstick, and my mini wallet. And it was reasonably priced compared to the madness we see now a days. It was love at first sight. And then I noticed the huge straw shopper bag by Balenciaga too and was thiiiiiis close to purchase it as well, but it wasn't that practical, for me at least! It looked like the kind of bag you'd want to carry to the beach or out for a picnic. Anyhow, the clutch made my day, my sister was relieved to see me purchase a new bag as she got sick of the ones I carry. So it was a win win situation for all. 

I'd love to know what kind of bag you carry now and hardly change? Share your thoughts.

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?
