Orient 499

I love Orient 499. Who doesn't?! I mean, If I could, I would just ship everything in-store to Kuwait and decorate my home with it. I previously posted about this gorgeous Beirut-based store on my blog here and here. It has a vast selection of oriental/Middle Eastern clothes and home accessories with a modern twist.Whomever does their visual merchandising is just plain genius.

The children's corner and the hidden garden are my favorite sections of the stores with a new collection of girls mini kaftans as well as sherwel for little boys. The dining room is breathtaking with products to make any hostess weak in the knees. The bedroom is beautifully decorated with a pretty collection of bed linens, iconic oriental sofas, and lights. Everything is just so pretty and almost all of the items are quite pricey, especially the caftans!! I can justify buying a piece of furniture or home accessory that will last for years and years to come, but a caftan that's over $1,000 is just not worth it (but daaaaymn they look so good!!).

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.
