3.1 Philip Lim Cruise Collection At Al Ostoura


Very so often, I like taking a simple approach to dressing especially on weekend when you just want to feel relaxed and comfy with the company of your good friends. And of course who masters this design tactic better than Philip Lim?!

I went to Al Ostoura’s store at Zahra Complex to check out Philip Lim’s 2008 Cruise Collection. And of course, Mr. Lim never ceases to amaze me. His cruise collection featured cotton tricot cardigans, flaring and ruffled shift dresses, and silk tops with flower applique details. All in spring like colors such as green, pink, blue, white, and khaki's. Here's a sample of what's available in-store now.









Let me tell you though, it helps if you’re as petite as Rachel Bilson as most dresses were on the mini side and it would ruin the look to wear the dresses with leggings.

The plae Blue dress with a belt (shown on the first photo) is around KD 145. The dark blue dress with a matching belt (4th photo) was not more than KD 95. I'm not sure about the rest though.

I compared the price of the dark blue dress from Al Ostoura with the one on Net-A-porter.com was amazed to find out that at NAP, the dress is almost KD 40 more expensive.

Chanel Bags on Discount?!

If you thought that getting a cheap Chanel bag that's within your budget is something too far fetched, then think again. You'll be surprised to know that Chanel's boutique located at Salhiya Complex is currently selling several bags, that are a maximum 1 or 2 seasons old, on discount . And we're not talking about a 2 or 5% discount here, these bags are 50% off their original price! For some reason I always thought that Chanel bags never go on sale. But I guess the printed ones or the ones that are made out of the collection's main fabric have to go on sale. Anyways, I managed to take photos of these 2 beauties. What I love about those bags is that they're a classic shape that never goes out of style, their print is young and refreshing, plus they're quilted. I think they could be a collector's item. Both bags featured here are sold for approximately KD 250 .
