The Bravery of Being Out of Range

Last week I visited Sultan Gallery's latest exhibition titled The Bravery of Being Out of Range II organized in collaboration with Athr Gallery, one of the first contemporary art galleries in Saudi Arabia dedicated for the Saudi and Arab artists. The exhibition builds on the success of its first show that was held at Athr in May 2011, and it highlights globalization and how it can be equally limiting and liberating. One of the pieces that caught my attention and which I fond to be funny were these bowling pins covered with textile scarves by artist Yara El Shirbini. If you're interested to visit the exhibition, it's on till 2nd February 2012.

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.
