TOMS Shoes - One For One






TOMS Shoes is an American footwear company that is based in Santa Monica, California, founded in 2006 by Blake Mycoskie. The company designs and sells lightweight shoes and the best part is that with every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a new pair of shoes to a child in need.

That’s amazing! I love it when retail stores create fashionable charity for their customers; you buy comfy light shoes and you donate! There are many many colors and designs and there are flats and wedges and boots! Contributions can be made so easy nowadays so take advantage!


So for all the good-deed fashionistas, make TOMS shoes your next item on your to-buy list!

Found this stunning python green Chanel bag at Chic Inc. group on facebook and it took my breath awaaaaay!

THE BAG MEASURES: Medium

Ouch! Huge price tag!! But I know it’s worth itttttt!!!! <3

Promise your mums and dads you’ll cherish it, love it and pass it on to your grand daughter;)!

Go on pledge! You never know what makes them say YES! But I think the idea of “grandchildren” is a safe bet? No? lool

I also came across another bag that I adored, a timeless classic! But too bad it’s sold out;(!


Bag description:

“Timeless Classic - Small

The Chanel leather flower is what gave the bag the edge and striking effect to me, without it, it’s just a normal Chanel that everyone has. It’s such an eternal bag that’s just pretty and lovely! Plus the price is soo reasonable! This is a definitely a catch! And to whoever bought it; good job on your investment pick! ;)

A tout a l'heure!

"Football Fever" At Baskin Robbins


Football fever is everywhere!! Its crazy! Everyone is going insane over this football thing and I don’t know what the big deal is.. maybe coz I’m simply not a fan

I know many people may hate me for saying this… but its true.. I hate footballlllllll!

Anywaysss.. enough of my “non-passionate” talk about football.. and back to how people are crazy about it..

Today I passed by Baskin Robbins and found a new flavor called “FOOTBALL FEVER” and I was like whaaaat theeee…. Seriously??? Even Baskin Robbins lool it was pretty hilarious to me ;p

So out of curiosity I ordered a scoop. It wasn’t that good but I bet to a lot of people it’s their “favorite” flavor now.

Its a bit minty and weird but not thaaat bad and not good either.. it was just OK.

Flavor description: A field of chocolate and mint ice creams tossed with chocolate mint soccerball cookies and littered with red and yellow cards.

Next time you go to Baskin Robbins, ask them for a taste.


ENJOY!!

And good night K-town.

Fashion "Investments"


A few posts back I defined “smart buy”, today I’m gona define a new term that I use a lot; “investment!” A fashion investment that is.

A fashion investment is:

“A relatively expensive purchase that’s gona last nearly forever! It will be a part of your collection for years to come and could also be passed on to your daughters”

For example,

- A classic Chanel bag or even a limited edition Chanel that can be considered “vintage” one day.

- An Hermes, whether it’s a Birkin or Kelly or any one, its definitely an investment because you’re paying so much for it and it’s a classic! Stays forever!

- A plain black, classic, fitted evening dress with a certain twist that looks good on you

- One of Herve Leger classic fitted dresses – definitely always in the cupboard

- Basic Christian Louboutin pumps

And so on, you get the idea.

One day you might wana go back to your archive and wear something from there so pick your investments wisely and invest in goods that you know will definitely prosper.


Adios!

Gift Idea: Chocolate Stick




My frnd is back to Kuwait and I wanted to get her something sentimental and FUN! So whats better than chocolates? ;)

But I didn’t want typical chocolates, I wanted something with a twist. So I searched until I came across this “Chocolate Stick” website.

They sell bouquets of CHOCOLATES that look soooooo yummy and exciting! They have different sizes; small to xlarge , and prices range from 10kd to 40kd, which I thought are not bad.

They are perfect gifts to say; get well soon, I’m sorry, you’ve been missed and even happy birthday!

May your life be filled with CHOCOLATES!


PS: I'm a BIG chocolate fan so don't be alarmed if I get too excited! lol;p

Smart Buy


Anyone can easily buy gorgeous items with the right amount of cash, but that’s just being normal, you have enough money you go buy it. The challenge is to buy what looks as striking and beautiful as a high-end product, when in fact it was just your taste that made all the difference.

Everyone has his own perspective of smart buy; some say smart buy is buying stuff on sale, something they’d be wearing a lot, or a one piece item that no one else has.

Mine is the following:

"An item that is relatively inexpensive, luxurious and eye-catchy"


So go-ahead divas, smart buy and make me proud;)
