Pround To Be Whimsy.. and More


The other day I went to “Proud To Be Kuwaiti” (P2BK) event and I must say that even though the parking lot was a chaos, the event was a success and inside it was very well organized. I’m sure a lot of you have been there, so I’m not going to talk about the event’s program. Instead, I’ll keep my post short and sweet by highlighting the things that I liked about the participants in the fashion field only. So here it goes..

  • Putting a face to the email. It was exiting to finally get to see in person the people behind the businesses: Paisley, Nuwany.com, Trendy Fanatics, Virtue, NohaNoor… and more. All the lovely e-mails I have received when they first introduced their businesses or sent me updates, you were all sweet and friendly
  • The best 100% Kuwaiti fashion business award goes to Whimsy, their handmade etsy-isique necklaces are unbelievably cute and dreamy. Whimsy Girls if you’re reading, please send me photos of your work, I’d love to feature it on my blog
  • The most innovative and eye-catching booth design goes to.. well I couldn’t make up my mind so it’s a tie between Jinan by Jinan Al-Faris’s 3D/coming-to-life Audrey Hepburn decorated booth and the Whimsy girls as shown in the photos featured here. How did you come up with these concepts and who did it for you? Amazing work.
  • The P2BK’s old Kuwait TV series themed t-shirts and coffee cups. The artwork was very very nice that I couldn’t resist buying the t-shirt. Are they currently being sold anywhere else? Circus BC, can you create canvas shopping bags using the same artwork?

The girls in Paisley were sweethearts! And they were so helpful! I bought 3 of their necklaces and I've worn them to jam3a with lots of compliments.

I also loved Capital District. Their ideas were fresh and cool.

It was so crowded but very worth it!

Whimsy ( Reem Dashti),
Thank you so much for the amazing effort, the pics are nice and looks so whimsy too ;)
For me as an architect and interior designer, The booth design was an interesting exercise for me to start after my recent graduation . The concept revolves around the idea of letting the customers be attracted to the booth from a distance then enjoy a dreamy experience inside the booth while wearing our artsy pieces. The Booth looks like a jewelry workshop with a rustic touch that was expressed with soft colors, natural wood textures and of course within a modern twist.
The work was done !00% by me and of course got some help in setting the booth from my husband , cousin Sara ( whimsy Partner) and Father

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?

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.
