Pre-Falling


Summer is still upon us for at least the next 3-4 months and Fall 2010 seems a distant thought, but savvy fashionistas are those who pick the best pieces from pre-fall arrivals, especially bags and shoe as you get to wear now too. Chanel boutique at Salhiya complex has also joined the pre-fall wagon, and has received few clothes, bags and shoes from the pre-fall collection and also from the Chanel Paris-Shanghai Métiers D'Arts collection. My favorite item from the pre-fall collection is this Chanel classic flap bag with tweed trimmed hand-embroidered camellias, interlaced chain and Chanel's signature turn lock. Price tag? KD 900+. I also found these cute kitten heel slippers adorned with cut-out camellias, but something about those little black sequins decorating the camellias that made it look a bit, dare I say, tawdry. Oh and by the way, I HATED Chanel's window display and the wigs used on the mannequins. Awful!

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
