Handmade with Love


If you think Paisley is just another local fashion fad, think again! Paisley provides a range of colorful and unique multi-layered necklaces made out of soft fabrics, making them the perfect accessory to wear during this cooler weather as… you guess it..  a scarf.

Paisley is the brainchild of Kuwaiti etsy-eque entrepreneur Ascia Al-Faraj. She was looking for a way to channel all her extra energy and creativity. So she started making these practical and original necklaces/scarves. Her partner Hawra'a Khalfan, joined her in July and from there the business took off. Paisley was showcased at many local exhibitions. Actually, they managed to be in the top 10 businesses at Yalla Shabab event. They will be participating in another local event at Salwa Sabah ballroom which will be held on 20th and 21st Dec, as well as at Get2Gether Exhibition in January.



Paisley is currently being sold at My Secret Closet boutique in Karizma, across from Amiri Hospital. For orders or further information, please send an e-mail to paisleyq8@gmail.com.

I had the opportunity to meet the team from Paisley @ the Barcode exhibition just recently, and they were all very friendly and personable girls. I bought one of their scarves, and I must say they are not only stylish, but extremely comfy as well-- not stuffy like other scarves can sometimes be :)

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit.  After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the  Altuzarra   sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away.  Which pair would you go for?

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...

My Birkin... My Pride & Joy

Birkin ... Birkin .. Birkin ... you mesmerize me.. I'm so addicted to yoooooou . sitting galmorously in my closet is my hard earned blue Hermes Birkin Bag. To own it is like the ultimate fashionista dream. I look at it lovingly and think to myself " daaaamn ! you are one hell of a lucky girl! I shall protect you from the evil eye 'till the day I die ". My friend asked me once why am I so obsessed with my Birkin . I can list 100 reasons why. But just to be short & sweet, it's exclusive, expensive ( I saw a Birkin in vogue with diamonds on it's hardware. How much do you think it costs? ), it's hand crafted , it takes 2 whole weeks of dedication to produce one, and it's THE bag everyone in the fashion world admires. During a recent visit to The Comfort Shoe at Mariam Complex , I came across a Birkin look alike ( shown in the pictures above ). I have to admit, from afar the bag actually looked good. So I went in to check it out. And THANK GO...
