I want candy.. I want candy!

Fellow Fashionista's behold... a new store is in town and I have a long review for you:

Located at Mohamed Thunayan Alghanim St., Closet Candy is the new fashion haven for every true fashionista looking for casual chic clothing. Its small storefront and narrow street makes the place easy to miss when passing by, but you will do a double take when you glance at the store's window display.

Closet Candy Owner Dana Al Khobaizi has had passion for fashion ever since she bought her first copy of Teen magazine. "I found myself on the look out for up & coming designers in contemporary fashion, and realized that my knowledge of contempo fashion exceeded those around me".

"The fashion market in Kuwait was missing that spirit of shopping in a "stand-alone" boutique that carried the latest trends from the hottest lines... outside of a mall. I mean, what's more fabulous than walking into Closet Candy where all items are in fact candy for your Closet!” she added.

Al-Khubaizi has adopted a "Walk-in" closet concept. You can feel this concept the moment you hold the store's door knob, shaped as an adorable clothes hanger, and step inside. It does actually feel like raiding a celebrity's closet. Every thing is arranged neatly by category, a rack for tank tops, a rail for denim only, and another one for summery boho & trapeze dresses. Shelves stacked with accessories and women's apparel. Now THAT'S eye CANDY to me.

At Closet Candy, you’ll find yourself marveling at the vast array of designers and labels to choose from such as: J Brand, Siwy Jeans, Karen Zambos, Voom, Nieves Lavi, Charlotte Ronson, C&C California, Taka, Madison Marcus, Development, Wheels & Dollbaby, Mike & Chris, Motif 56, Sogoli, Kudra, Gingerella, Lena Wald, etc. And guess what? A whole lot of new designers are coming in for a fall. So you better think twice before spending you money on unnecessary & un-fashion-related items.

Since the store carries such trendy items & contemporary designers, the reasonable pricing is appealing to those who follow trends and would beg to differ.

The store is chockfull of fashionable goods. My favorite items were the grass green ballet flats, gold buckled & snake skin bracelets (very similar to the Hermes ones with the gold buckle minus the hefty price tag), J brand jeans, and the white eyelet dress with the black lining, perfect for dining out during the summer.

So what did I not like? Because the street is narrow, it's hard to find a parking lot in that area. And once you pass the store, you'd have to take a long detour to get to that street again. But Al-Khubaizi has reassured me that they are in the process of getting a couple of parking spots exclusively for Closet Candy customers. The other thing was that most items that I wanted were sold out in my size. I guess I'd have to be there the day they have new stuff on display. And finally, I think a bigger stock is needed for each brand. (I'd hate to see one Karen Zambos dress on the rail, it could be the rest of KZ's was already sold out).

Make sure when you visit the store, you give out your name, e-mail address, and mobile number so that they notify you of any new stocks. Future plans? Closet Candy the website "It is going to be a fun, informative, interactive contemporary fashion website" said CLoset Candy store owner.

Overall, I give Closet Candy "Ebert & Roepers" 2 thumbs up. I loved the store and I would definitely go there again and again as soon as I get notified for new arrivals that is.
