News Flash: TopShop Avenues No More

Well... temporarily, remember the fire incident at Esprit which Mark posted about a few days back? Well guess which store is located right underneath it? Yup. TopShop is the only store at the Avenues that was majorly damaged by the fire and the only one that is still closed because of it. Apparently, the fire sprinklers at TopShop went on when the smoke came in and damaged the stock entirely. TopShop needs at least 3 weeks for it to be operating again.

I was always against TopShop being in the Avenues, it shouldn't have changed its location from Salmiya in the first place. The old location was much nicer, bigger in space, and had better selection for some reason. Anyways, hope they turn TopShop/TopMan to TopShop only this time.

Thats what Nataly keeps telling me, that she wishes the Salmiya Top Shop never closed down since it was a lot bigger and cozier.

That's so sad, its the only store I actually look forward to at the avenues. Maybe this is a SIGN for alshaye'e to move back to the old store..ahh the good old days


seriously, the other H&m's are big enough to compensate for the one they put in place of the old topshop!

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in  Miu Miu   Boutiques throughout our region.
