Confashions From Kuwait

The Louis Vuitton funny looking checked shopping bag with a big, passport-style LV stamp is now available at LV Boutique at Salhiya Complex . They have them in two sizes, the large one had silver & gold checked lines with a huge red LV stamp and it costs KD 760 . And the smaller size had red & blue checked lines with a huge blue LV Stamp and it's around KD 479 . I have mixed feelings about this bag, it's funny and cute, BUT it is overpriced for a seasonal bag that you would probably use twice while traveling. If they had the bag last January or February I would have bought the small one, at least I could have used it until August. But to sell it in July when the rest of the brands are already selling their fall collection? Not worth it. What do you think of the bag? Would you get it?

Chanel boutique at Salhiya Complex is having 30% off on their shoes collection and 50% off on some of the clothes on display. What about their bags? dream on! Never seen a chanel bag on sale! New deliveries for Etro Autumn/Winter 2007-2008 have arrived at Villa Moda Shuwaikh . I can't believe we have to start shopping for fall in the mid of the hottest month of the year!

OK, I must admit, I only found out about N.B: Boutique a couple of days ago while walking around Salhiya complex. Apparently, my discovery is 6 months old. Anyways, I decided to post about it because I liked what I saw. It was like a darling gem of an accessories boutique. N.B: Boutique is owned by Kuwaiti Designer and entrepreneur Nejoud Boodai . As I stepped into the boutique, I was mesmerised by the interior of the store , the sweet smell of vanilla extract, and the yummy looking mini cup cakes served as part of the interior. You will find a variety of accessories such as day bags, evening clutches, jewelry, belts, casual & dressy sandals, evening shoes and home accessories, from chic new designers. What excited me the most about this store is the large selection of Pedro Garcia shoes. I love his shoes! They are high-end fashionable looking and elegantly designed worn by celebs like Victoria Beckham & Cate Blanchett . Most items were moderately priced. And the good ...

Camilla Belle is my latest fashion icon. She’s got timeless look, the most unforgettably captivating set of eyebrows, and she's absolutely beautiful in an old-Hollywood glamour sort of way. In this picture, dressed in this electric blue Oscar de la Renta dress, she's a sight for sore eyes. I know she was featured in Vogue four months back but I still feel that the media is not giving her justice. Or maybe the paparazzi are not taking notice? I want to see more of her! I want to see more of her NOW! Calling all paparazzi. Unite and stalk each step Ms. Belle makes. I had enough of Brittney this and Hillary that. I want Belle! I'm not a stalker, I just let the paparazzies do the stalking for me. Am I crossing the line here? Yeah, I know. I got carried away a bit :) But I just love seeing her and analyzing her sense of style. Such a Bella Belle.

Remember the Fendi Spy bag hype back in 2005? It was the most sought after bag style by fashionistas around the world. I loved this bag. It was, and and to a certain extent still is, a big hit. Recently while doing my errands, I came across this (the photo above) and I was shocked to the bone. " What is this?!! Nooooo , it can't be! Is it? YES it is!". Never have I imagined, not in a million years, to see snake skin metallic Fendi's Spy bag ungracefully sitting on the shelf of a tacky little store inside Shamiya's Co-Op, next to nasty & ugly replicas of Coach bags. And of course it is a faux Spy too. Unfortunately, the store was closed, or I would have asked about the price and checked the bag out. When I see faux designer bags I feel cheated on coz , Ain't nothing like the real thing baby. My rule of thumb is, if you can't afford to buy a designer bag, then please don't buy the mirror bag. There's nothing wrong with buying & carryin...
