The Perfect Afternoon Tea

Now here's an origional-looking 3 tiered cake stand which I spotted at Selfridges during my stay in London. I so wanted to buy the three of them.  But I wasn't up for carrying such fragile pieces and heavy boxes around with me at the airport. The 3 tiers look like someone just put the plates and cups on top of each other but they're all attached. The salesman has informed me that the plates are hand painted and vintage and are all one-off pieces. So perfect for presenting petiti fours,chocolates and sweets... or maybe even jewelry?

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 .
