Event: Hala Expo

Today I managed to go to Hala Expo event after I gave in to some peer pressure, in hopes of finding a fancy caftan for Ramadan. I was pleased when I first came in because it wasn't as crowded as I have imagined it to be. Maybe because it was the 2nd day of the event? Apparently the first day, which was yesterday, the hall was PACKED, the ATM machine broke down, and the walkways were hardly moving. Oh and by the way, most of the caftans that I've been eyeing the past couple of days were already sold out. But I still managed to find some other nice things, including caftans, such as clutches, hair accessories, home accessories and more. Allow me to share with you the highlights of the evening. In the first photo we have a nice everyday caftan by Kushtuban, in red, black, and off-white.

Remember when I instagrammed about Shugar Ramadan collection? Well here's a close up of the cute caftan worn by the designer. Her pieces are very well tailored.

Isn't that cup with the matching plate just adorable and funny?? Spotted it at Our Home's booth. I also liked the way they had decorated their booth, as you can see from the photo below.

AlMubarak Corner's booth had a selection of really unique accessories to pair with your caftans this Ramadan and beyond. They had a couple of Sarah's bag box clutches on display. I liked the geometric Islamic designs.

The texture on this clutch is so beautiful!

I came across a booth called Radan, they had a selection of really nice caftans with clean and intricate embroidery details.


Remember Opal jewelry which I have previously featured on my blog here? They were displaying their new collection of necklaces, headpieces, bracelets, rings, and anklets. I love the mini ring shown in the photo above and below.

Another booth which had also a nice selection of caftans was Raghed collection. I loved the green embroidered piece shown below.

And last but not least, cute flower display and gurgaia'an ideas at @vdfkw

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 .
