Chanel... The Wild Wild West

As you might already know through my instagram, the Chanel Pre-Fall 2014 collection has hit K-town. Better known as ‘the Metier d’art Paris Dallas’, the new collection was reflected on the window displays, and although I didn't get a closer look to the clothes selection, I did skim through the sheriff-inspired jewelry, silver accented shoes, and embossed bags. Honestly? Maybe I'm old-school but I really don't get this hybrid Paris-Dallas collection. I didn't like the boy bags, I didn't like the flats, I only kind of liked flat ankle boots but then they looked to costume-y for my taste, actually they reminded me of Nicole Kidman in Cold Mountain. Maybe if I had a better look at the clothes I might have changed my mind? I don't know. I guess all that western hardware just killed it for me, in a negative way. I guess it's good news for my wallet.

I'd like to know your thoughts on this collection? A hit or a miss?

Chanel Bags on Discount?!

If you thought that getting a cheap Chanel bag that's within your budget is something too far fetched, then think again. You'll be surprised to know that Chanel's boutique located at Salhiya Complex is currently selling several bags, that are a maximum 1 or 2 seasons old, on discount . And we're not talking about a 2 or 5% discount here, these bags are 50% off their original price! For some reason I always thought that Chanel bags never go on sale. But I guess the printed ones or the ones that are made out of the collection's main fabric have to go on sale. Anyways, I managed to take photos of these 2 beauties. What I love about those bags is that they're a classic shape that never goes out of style, their print is young and refreshing, plus they're quilted. I think they could be a collector's item. Both bags featured here are sold for approximately KD 250 .
