Giles Deacon Gold Collection at New Look Avenues

If you thought you could never afford to buy Giles's fabulous creations, think again. Giles Deacon collaborated with New Look to offer a collection called "Gold", four times a year. And this week Gold by Giles collection hit New Look shop located on the 1st floor of the Avenues.

I was surprised that there was no big advertising campaigns to promote Giles collection through out the streets of Kuwait. It's so unlikely of Al-Shaya'a Group to do that. Maybe they thought that Giles is unpopular? (gasp!). Anyways, here are some items of the collection displayed in store now.





Black clutch with crystals KD 12



Stripped sandals KD22


Bracelets with golden studs KD 8 each


Black long t-shirt with metallic stripes KD 10.500



Stripped black & white skirt KD 15



Blue and printed pleated blouse KD 17 each



I heart Giles. Remember my previous post on the biker chic Giles for Mulberry bags? And how about that to-die-for Giles evening dress from Alothman? As much as I heart Giles, his New Look collection at Avenues Kuwait didn't do it for me. Well, except for his big bracelets with golden studs. It looked a bit cheap and redundant. And most of his pieces which I saw in magazines are not available yet. A big disappointment I know. But Maybe it will get better? No?


Giles Deacon designed 35-piece collection of skinny jeans, sequined cotton mini dresses, tulip hemmed skirts, silk tunics with vivid prints, fully lined sateen coats, and some of the most fabulous accessories, such as huge bracelets, tiger necklaces, diamante brooches and oversized sunglasses. Drew Barrymore is the face of Gold by Giles Deacon. And you can see her and his collection by clicking here. I liked all the stuff Drew wore. What do you think?

Chanel Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection

I can't remember if I shared my views about Chanel's Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection on my blog or not, but I thought I'd share with you some photos of the pieces on display now at Chanel Boutique in Kuwait, Prestige in the Avenues and Salhiya Complex. I wasn't too crazy about the clothes. However, I did like some of the bags which had pompoms and tassels on them, as well as the gigantic pearl clutch. I also loved the Moroccan-inspired pointy flats and the silver jewelry adorned with coins and crescents. Of course the shoes were sold out in my size and I wasn't so crazy about the patterned ones. I LOVED the flap bag with Pom Poms, but it was above my budget. Overall the collection felt more Moroccan than Dubai-an. I wish if they have incorporate more of the our gulf region's culture into the designs. Oh And I added to this post photos of Chanel's milk carton shaped python clutch bag embellished with a CC signature. They're not part of the Dubai colle

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit.  After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the  Altuzarra   sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away.  Which pair would you go for?

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare.  This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
