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'!

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale!

Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st
