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.

Amazing Alia

Several months ago I posted about Alia Designs , a Kuwaiti talented designer of traditional clothes and dresses. Back then, I liked one of the items featured on her website.
