Selfless Good Gift – Part I


People who are close to me know that when I look for gift, I’m always looking for a gift that is unique, special, and creative. And of course it helps a lot if it doesn’t blow your budget. So, I have found the perfect place to go to, the museum shop of Dar Al Athar Al Islamiyyah. It offers an assortment of gift ideas to give your friends, especially out-of-towners, at great prices.  Aaaand what’s also nice about these gifts is that all proceeds from the sale are used to support programs of Dar Al Athar Al Islamiyyah. So in a way you are supporting your community.

So, I have decided to write two posts about the things you can buy as gifts or even for yourself.  Of course the first post is dedicated to fashion jewelry. The pieces featured in the first photos (pendant, rings, and earrings) have to be my most favorite items in the shop. They’re called Nubia collection and my guess is that they are designed to resemble houses in Nuba. The whole set is priced at KD 30 and I think this collection would look ideal worn with your Ramadan Caftans.






Dar Al Athar Al Islamiyyah’s Museum Shop is located at Abdullah al-Salem School, Maidan Hawalli, Near al Sha’ab Leisure Park. To learn more about Dar Al Athar, please click here.

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.

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.
