I can relate why schmucks in sedans and SUVs abuse safe lanes in Kuwait. However, what I can’t relate is when bikes abuse safe lanes.

My friend from Dubai has sent me photos for new Lamborghini Aventador police cars in Dubai! Let me re-phrase it; KD 140K+ Lamborghini Aventador that can speed up to 349km/h for the police in Dubai! That’s heavy, forget about economy crises I say. That would undoubtedly be world’s most expensive patrol car ever. “God” is there anyway I could work as a cop in Dubai? Anyone has any ‘Wasta’ please!

Thanks [Omran]

It’s been a while since I got my groove on but luckily for me, Crocs was kind enough to provide enough groove for all of us last night! At the Grand Avenues, Crocs hosted a retro event which, for me, was a home-run in all aspects.
So what exactly is retro? – reviving the styles and especially the fashions of the past: fashionably nostalgic or old-fashioned.

And that is exactly what was going down at the Crocs store last night with their 70’s theme!

The 1970s, was a decade that saw many diverse forms of music funk and psychedelic rock and medleys and sketches that aired on local TV. It was also the birth of movies and plays that are still groovy to date such as, Saturday Night Fever and local play “The Salmiya Bachelor” starring Kuwaiti star Abdulhussain Abdulredha. Not to forget, the funky fashion in the 70s that flaunted bell-bottoms, afros, sequins, loud prints and the androgynous hippie look.

The 70’s-themed retro event was held to take us back to the 70s era of funky designs and vintage-themed outfits which was the inspiration behind the iconic Crocs Retro Collection.

The new Crocs Retro Collection is created for the fans of the original clog as well as a more fashion-conscious audience drawn to the funky vintage feel. The Retro Collection keeps true to the signature comfort of Croslite material and at the same time, the retro styles gives the shoes a sporty, performance driven feel.

Crocs products are sold in over 90 countries. Every day, millions of Crocs™ shoe lovers around the world enjoy the exceptional form, function, versatility and feel-good qualities of these shoes while at work, school and play.

Tiffany & Co. celebrated the opening of its flagship boutique in Kuwait’s most prestigious mall, the Avenues. Occupying 2,410-square-feet in the Prestige district, the new boutique is the second-largest store for Tiffany & Co. in the Middle East and the third location to be opened by the luxury jeweler in Kuwait. The flagship boutique will be operated by luxury retail group Al Bisher & Al Kazemi Company, Tiffany’s business partner in Kuwait since 1996.

“The opening of our flagship boutique in the Prestige district of The Avenues Mall marks a new era for Tiffany & Co. in Kuwait and underscores the importance of the market to our regional growth strategy. With the legendary heritage of Tiffany & Co. reflected in the new store design and the extensive collections of fine and statement jewelry now available, we are introducing an enriched Tiffany experience to our Kuwaiti customers,” said Laurent Cathala, Tiffany’s Vice President of Emerging Markets.

Tiffany’s design heritage that sparkles in the world’s most beautiful jewels is reflected in a store environment of carved glass and marble, stainless steel and the glow of Tiffany Blue. Steeped in history and instantly recognized by its many facets of elegance and tradition, the boutique’s interiors are inspired by Tiffany’s iconic New York Fifth Avenue store and feature original motifs from the Tiffany Archives. Each design element is a tribute to Tiffany’s legacy of exquisite craftsmanship which spans more than 175 years.

This tradition is brilliantly revealed in diamond engagement rings that echo Tiffany’s reputation as the premier diamond authority. The jeweler outshines all others with the sheer charisma of its diamonds, patented cuts and exclusive settings found in the designs of the Tiffany® Setting, Lucida® and Legacy®. Diamonds are also set in jewels of ultimate glamour and fashion, many in combination with vibrant and colorful gemstones.

In addition to its lustrous array of diamond jewelry in platinum and 18-karat gold settings, customers will discover the collections of exclusive Tiffany designers Elsa Peretti, Paloma Picasso, and Jean Schlumberger. Fine and statement jewelry also sparkle in the Tiffany showcases like the Victoria Collection in which marquise and round brilliant diamonds bloom like exquisite flowers.

Wrapped in the famous Tiffany Blue Box®, an international symbol of excellence, these coveted creations honor a great legacy that has made Tiffany the premier destination for gifts, as well as jewels of legendary beauty and objects of desire that epitomize a life well lived.
