Confashions From Kuwait

MANGO had a grand opening yesterday at the Avenues (1st Floor) with their Summer 2007 collection. Call 2597272 for inquires. If you still feel like you didn't buy enough clothes for the summer (isn't it always the case?) or that you need new additions to your closet, then head to cacharel (al raya or al Thuraya), they are having 30% off on all this season's summer collection and 50% off on previous seasons' collections. They have the cutest necklaces/belts which you can dress down with a plain colored t-shirt or dress up with an elegant dress. I also like their summery cotton dresses & tops. Is it too late to buy stuff for the summer? Not when they're on sale and of amazing quality!! I have posted pictures of some of the cacharel clothes I have found at the store.

Once a upon a time, there was a fashionista who was trying to shop on eLuxury .com to buy a cute Marc Jacobs bag only to find out, after 4 days of e-mails going back & forth, that her Kuwaiti credit was unaccepted. Her dreams were shattered & her heart was broken. And then came her Knight & shining armor (well 2 knights to be exact): Sultan Center's unique Just Ask service –the only one of its kind in the Middle East–can source any product you need, local or international, at real time and without any additional cost.

OK girls, better late than never! :P Here comes our weekly segment: Webby Wednesday... taaadaaa... Thank you :) This week's webby is RevolveClothing.com . The site offers designer fashion, including jeans, shirts, tops, and skirts from brands such as Rebecca Taylor, Blue Cult and Paper Denim. Also nice selection of men's clothes. What I like about it is that all items guaranteed in stock in sizes shown, or you receive a coupon for 25% off your next purchase. Plus they have new stuff almost every week. I loved this Cindy Lee Silk Sailor Tank in Aquaris. I can see myself wearing it with pointy neutral colored flats with lots of plastic colored bracelets. The dress costs around $400. And if you have a US Aramex address, you can get free shipping! swell! Too obssessed with dresses? Me?? Naaah :P It's just easier to wear with this "cool" weather. :) Happy Shopping y'all.

Still did not stock up for the summer? Then head to Bait Badra this Saturday 9 th June. Rana Alsaeed will be hosting her Tulipia summer 2007 " White Shirt " collection from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm and from 5:30pm to 10:00 pm. Head to New Look Avenues today, they're having 50% sale . It's a good chance to buy casual stuff for chalet or for hanging around.

Kidada Jones, daughter of the legendary Qunicy Jones, takes couture to a new level of chic with her quirky line of Disney themed charm bracelets, necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings. At first, the thought of me wearing Disney Characters as part of my ensemble made me cringe. But after looking at the charm bracelets (and Nicole Richie wearing them), I instantly fell in love (for 20 minutes though)! The line will appear in high-end stores such as Fred Segal. I’m sure we’ll find them online soon. Speaking of which, Nicole (one of my fashion idols) could end up wearing a trash can and cheap “zanoobas” and I’ll still be fascinated by her sense of style.. yeah.. that bad!

Move over MTV Movie awards, the CFDA Awards, Council of Fashion Designers of America, has stolen your thunder daaaahling . Now THAT'S what I call red carpet fashion. All the IT fashion crowd were there , all glammed up. I can just imagine them walking down the carpet, air kissing Mr. Laboutine , rubbing shoulders with Oscar De La Renta , and giving MK & Ashley the "You-look-fabulous daaahling " note. What was weird & surprisng is that Oscar de la Renta shared the coveted womenswear award with Proenza Schouler . Anyways, here are my fave looks of the evening: Monique Lhuillier , in her own design. Jacquetta Wheeler, in Oscar de la Renta . Tory Burch, I think in her own design ( Not crazy about the hairdo & shoes though )

I've just seen the red carpet photos for celebs at MTV's 2007 Movie Awards , and let me tell you, it was as entertaining as waiting for your mani/padi dries. No originality, no fashion risks, and to my surprise, not a lot of A-List celebs(!). The celebs who showed up played up their best assets and forgot about their fashion senses. Those celebrity stylists hardly lifted a finger and did not do their homework well. If only I could work as a stylist for a day.. I'll show you maaaagic baby. :P So, after thorough research and observation, I have picked out the best dressed celeb at that event. Ladies, meet Arielle Kebbel pictured here (Arielle who?). Exactly. I have no idea who she is & I don't care who she is. But I liked the way she looked and that's good enough for me. On a different note: Kate Moss's TopShop collection will be available at TopShop Kuwait in a couple of days... yeah I know, the news did not excite me that much either :)
