Baby Radio

A recent app I've downloaded is Baby Music Radio. It has some wonderfully relaxing music for when you want to relax and wind down. There are some spa music channels, and some classical music channels. They really soothe you after a hectic or stressful day.

Add it to some of the list of tips and we've previously recommended here.

SEPHORA Nail bling

Sephora nail bling is so simple and fast to apply on your nails. You dont need to wait for your nails to dry out anymore. 
Follow these steps for the best results:
1) Make sure your nails are clean.
2) Shape and buffer your nails.
3) Apply the strip one by one.
4) To maintain the nails apply a top coat (optional).

Here are my results:

PS: You can find them in all Sephora stores

TOMS New Styles

I'm a big fan of TOMS shoes and the work behind it. Couple of days ago when I was shopping at Urban Outfitters; I found these new styles from TOMS. I bought one of them and it is very comfy and stylish!

 This one is my favorite !

PS: Floral is the fashion theme for this summer! 

Bait Ahmed

In the midst of all things old, all kinds of aromas and fumes, and people from all walks of life, lies a gem in Souq Al Mubarakiya.

Bait Ahmed is a must visit for those who enjoy traditional Kuwaiti charm, rustic finds, and pretty little things. The prices are surprisingly reasonable and the items are truly one of a kind. I have yet to know if these are collected items and the story behind this charming little shop in the middle of "downtown" Kuwait. You'll find the shop near the bshoot area of Souq Al Mubarkiya, just ask any of the helpful shopkeepers and they will show you the way.

What's even more exciting is that the owner is planning to expand and have a little cafe nearby his shop, too.

Browsing through things in Bait Ahmed is truly entertaining and you will find yourself just chilling in the shop. Its one of those cozy, inviting places you don't really want to leave. Let's not forget the vintage music played in the background (samri, too!). Its one of those places that scream "A7bech Ya Kuwait" :)

Make sure you pass by the shop and also check out all the decorations around the city for Kuwait's National & Liberation Day celebrations.

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

A Peek at Marni For H&M

Mark your calendars ladies for March 8th! Marni for H&M's ads are out.. This lovely video of Marni for H&M will definately transport you!

Its so dreamy and makes us crave midsummer nights.


Looking forward to the collection, and really hoping that Al Shaya in Kuwait organize it well.


Sofia Coppola really outdid herself, the video is amazing. Here's a look behind the scenes...

Toms Ballet Flats

In a few days Toms Ballet Flats will launch all over the US. They will be available online on their website or you can snatch them up at the nearest Department Store (Nordstrom) if you are in the States. But make sure you're one of the lucky ones who are on the waiting list! Because the shoes are sold out before even being launched!

I'm particularly fond of the black one with the beige tip and purple side! Such a sleek combination.

They are currently being displayed in Nordstrom but not available to try on.
I'm dying to know how they look and feel.


PS: Is that a sadu print in the middle??

Would You Buy It OFF the STREET!!

While walking around Soho in Manhattan (Broadway ), I spotted these clutch bags  on one of the table booths on the street. They are fully hand made from different kinds of leather !! Usually I have a thing against buying off the street but these clutch bags are amazing. If you're big on buying things that are one of a kind you'll love them!! 

 PS: Don't let her fool you with the price !! bargain!!

Versace for H&M Madness!

I wasn't excited at all about the collaboration since I'm not really a Versace fan. Also, when I looked at the collection it really wasn't my style. But, the leather jacket caught my eye and I really felt that I wanted to have it. So after getting the invites from Al Shaya to attend the Versace for H&M collaboration, I was super excited, and wondering what the VIP invitations would turn out to be.

I arrived by 7:30 and saw a long line already formed at H&M's enterance in Avenues. 

I headed to a sales lady and happily asked where the VIP section was. Not only did I have a VIP invite, I had 3 invites, so I was looking forward to top notch treatment. She pointed to the other side of the line, only to another equally long line! What a shocker. 

So I asked her "What's the diference between the VIP and the other one?" 

She replied, "VIP will enter first followed by the normal crowd."

I asked, "How long after we enter will the normal people enter?"

"20 minutes", she said.

So I waited in line, clueless as to what would happen next.

At 8 the shutter outside H&M started to open up and girls started screaming, and everyone hoarded in; VIP, non VIP, waiting in line or just standing. I. WAS. SHOCKED.

I was very disappointed in the lack of organization since I know as a  fact in both the US & London, these events are managed differently. First of all a few people get to enter together for a certain period of time, and then must leave and let the next batch of people in.

Oh my god the chaos at the store was unbelievable. I just reached the clothing racks to find them completely empty and people were grabbing 5 or more of the same items at a time.

I really applaud the staff because it was so hectic, full of people pushing, screaming, and grabbing. It was truly undescribable. Also, everyone started queing at the store room instead of wating for the racks to fill up. They would just grab the clothes from the sales people as they walked out of the store room.

On the other hand, I got everything I wanted! I got the leather biker jacket, a fur vest, and leggings. They came in funky garment bags.

I really hope Al Shaya plans to organize whatever collaboration is coming up next (Tom Ford?) in a much more civilized manner.

Are YOU going?

We just got our Versace for H&M VIP passes and can't wait to go tomorrow morning! It was extra hectic last time at Lanvin for H&M but this time there is just one item I must get my hands on! Will post it if I manage to grab it before it sells out!

We also recieved a lovely hot pink folder, and Versace themed note pad!
Pictures coming soon!

Monopoly Deal

Warning: This card game is addictive!

 

This game is really fun, you can have 2 or more players. Its entertaining and very easy to learn for beginners. Its funner than Monopoly and more fast-paced, too. I guarantee you'll at least play 4 times in a row.

We keep using our friend's set because surprisingly its sold out everywhere, even in London! Also, very fun to play in outdoor gatherings in this lovely weather we are currently enjoying in Kuwait.
