Confashions From Kuwait

Here's a non-fashion related piece of news, hip hop star Kanye West and soul sensation Joss Stone will headline this year's Desert Rhythm Festival in Dubai , which will be staged at the Dubai Country Club from October 26 to 27 . Other artists confirmed include Bob Marley's son Ziggy, and Mika. Tickets are available from the Dubai Country Club and Virgin Megastores in the UAE, and are priced at 200 dirhams ($54.50) for each day of the festival, or 300 dirhams ($90) for a weekend ticket. So you'd better make your reservations now if you want a room in a nice 5-star hotel.

Villa Moda Shuwaikh have just received new Prada collection of Ready-To-Wear, shoes, handbags, and accessories.

Now you can get Miu Miu 's multi-colored elasticated patent ballet flats, which were spotted on Mischa Barton recently, on net-a-porter.com . Perfect for day and would go well with fall's dark colors. The flats were available at Villa Moda Shuwaikh but most sizes (including mine) were sold out and there is only one size left. And for some reason the flats are more expensive at VM . Get them online before they run out (and save some money).

Being a dress addict, I was overjoyed when I discovered this dresses haven. eDressMe .com sells dresses and gowns for receptions, proms, cocktail parties, weddings and special occasions. The selection includes fashion brands like Tibi , Cacharel , BCBG , Manoush , Cynthia Rowley , Sonia Rykiel , Anna Sui, Jill Stuart, Nanette Lepore , Nicole Miller, Plenty Rebecca Taylor, and Tracy Reese. The dresses are split into various categories such as: evening dresses, formal gowns, little black dresses, long sleeved dresses, mod dresses, casual work dresses, party dresses, petite dresses, and plus size dresses. There is also a small collection of "non-dresses" items such as handbags, outerwear, and accessories. And here's my favourite item on the website, the rolled neck jacquard coat from Rebecca Taylor, $525. I can see myself wearing it with my new patent leather courts, and a sleek hairdo. Hello modern Jackie-O.

Several months back, we have seen paparazzi photos of Kylie Minogue walking around with at least 5 different versions of the YSL mini downtown bag . And now this little wonder has re-surfaced again and is making waves all over Celebsvielle. Just very recently, Demi Moore was spotted carrying the mini tote while doing her errands. I must admit, I fell in love with the YSL Downtown bag (not the mini one) when it first came out. It's roomy, practical, and perfect for stuffing my daily necessities. I had a hard time finding the patent purple or patent red version of it. Apparently, they flew off the shelves everywhere. But the mini one? Well, it would look adorable on Suri Cruise! Not a fashionista in her 40's/50's ( Of course Kylie is an exception because she can pull off anything with style & grace, before the 80's era that is! ). So don't buy it. Unless money is not an object and you want to spare some on your 5 years old niece/daughter. Then it would be a ...
