Webby Wednesday - kiitosmarimekko.com

Admit it. Deep down in your heart, you just love it when someone exclaims how unusual & stylish your ensemble is or ask you enviously "From where did you get it!, it's sooo original!". And you give them that devilish smirk, which usually deciphers to "I ain't telling ya honey!".


Well, I'm always on a quest to find clothes designed by the most mysterious and hard-to-find designers. It's not that easy, especially on the web. Until I came upon this site: kiitosmarimekko.com.


kiitosmarimekko.com features three extensive product lines by talented Finnish designers: clothing, accessories and interior design items.

My favourite item is this Macet Dress which costs $245. Perfect for late night Semi formal dinner. It can be worn for summer and winter .



I also liked this funky looking Keisarinkruunu mouse pad for around KD 6.



For the time being, they only accept US addresses. However, they do have a dedicated number for international calls: (212) 628-8400.

Happy Webby Shopping everyone!

The dress looks like something you'd wear at your high school prom (plus braces) and all the popular kids would make fun of you ;p


You can order the dress/pad if you want via Aramex or UShopWeShip.

Lately I've been digging the preppy/prom look. That's why I liked the dress :P With a little bit of eccentric accessories, it would like smashin'!

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in  Miu Miu   Boutiques throughout our region.

Magical Mode

As anyone who regularly reads Confashions may know, there are some designers I’ve been obsessed with for quite some time: one is the genius Erdem , the other is Nicholas Kirkwood , and Pierre Hardy . And because their designs are somehow easily accessible online and offline, I had the pleasure of featuring some of their creations and showing them the love they deserve. That said, there is one designer I’ve been particularly smitten with for quite some time. He has always been on the top of my favorite designers list ever since I was introduced to his designs by my fabulous fellow fashionisto Adnan Z Manjal   a couple of years back : Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi . I always wished I featured him more. I couldn’t because his pieces are very exclusive and as far as I know not stocked anywhere here. This clearly isn't just another post on my obvious love for Mohammed Ashi’s designs or the quality of his clothes as I have done that previously. Ashi simply deserves his very own epic p...

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare.  This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
