Cruising the Bospharus

During our stay in Istanbul-Turkey, we took the public ferry where we saw many beautiful houses around the heavily-populated shores of Bosphorus river. The river separates the Asian from the European parts of Turkey. It must be really nice to live in a house with a terrace overlooking the blue shimmering waters of the river, such an incredible view! And of course it's typical for us as Kuwaities to wonder how much would it cost to buy a land overlooking the Bosphorus, and start comparing their prices with the insanely overpriced real estate in Kuwait.

The trip was kind of long and I got a little bit bored at the end, but it was interesting to see Istanbul from a different perspective. A must if you're staying for a minimum of 4-5 days in the city.

Garden party anyone?

Tanning beds on the front porch of your house? Yes please!

OK, I'll take the top floor of this house, actually i'll take anything with a sea view.. yes even the garage!

Whosoever living in this house are definitely not arguing about who has the best view... and that's not all... check out the rest of the house in the photo below... it has a guest house attached to it, and 3 lounge seating areas too overlooking the bosphorus river... Niiiice.

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 .
