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 :)

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.
