Confashions From Kuwait

Give your evening look some retro 60’s charm with this  Miu Miu flower accent top

I first saw this photo on Twitter and I immediately fell in love. This Bone Bracelet beauty is made using 24K yellow gold and oxidized silver and decorated with rubies and 2.15CTS diamonds. It was designed by a Turkish company based in Ankara Turkey called Atelier Minyon .   It really takes a certain amount of confidence and cool to carry off such a little odd yet astonishingly beautiful piece. I just can’t seem to shake the idea of wearing it all year long. Yes it is a bit more dramatic than the usual cuffs and bracelets, but I feel like it generates 1,000 watts of gothic glam effect that’s insanely fashion-forward.   Here’s a little something about  Atelier Minyon , In 2008,  Atelier Minyon  was created to expand Jewel House of Minyon in the United States.  Atelier Minyon  is a jewelry design house that melds the romantic history of Turkey with modern design and offers fresh innovative collections never before seen in the United States. they have opened their first US store in SoH

My friend was in Italy a couple of weeks back and sent me this photo of Chanel's window display.  I liked how the wool scarf is covered with Chanel's signature white Camilla. 

I vividly remember the first time I saw  Nejoud Boodai  on KTV, or was it MBC, and got to know about her journey as a fashion designer.  It was probably 10 years ago and I remember during her interview, she showed us a sketch of a men’s suit designed by her and I was blown away by her creative design and how she used the buttons of the blazer and made them somehow attached to the button-down shirt. I was mesmerized by her creativity, confidence, and motivation. And I think she won an award for this specific design. Years later she ventured into different businesses and one of them was the launch of N.B. Boutique which I have featured on my blog  on numerous occasions, actually the above photo was the first photo I've taken of her boutique. It’s one of my favorite places for unique gift ideas and lovely hard to find accessories. Sadly, Nejoud Boodai passed away two days ago. Gone but definitely not forgotten. She will always be remembered as one of the first Kuwaiti fashion icon

Last month MeBlogging posted about Lady GaGa by Zara t-shirts. And ever since then and I've been trying to find one, I lost hope and interest after a couple of weeks. Then, just recently while shopping around Zara , I came across several pieces left of Lady GaGa t-shirts AND one for Michael Jackson too! Price tag? KD 7.500. 

A close friend of mine who knows how much I’m obsessed with window displays sent me these photos of Moschino’s window display in Milan having its new face-lift for the season. Love the cloud-like faces of the mannequins!

From boudoir to daywear, lace is no longer for lingerie or evening wear. I spotted these cute knitted  cardigans with pretty and delicate lace inserts at Oasis and Zara. So now you can sport this trend with your jeans, pencil skirts, or feminine 50’s full skirt and still look regal (with plenty of money to spend on something else). Featured black and beige cardigans are from Oasis and are priced at  KD 18 each. Zara blush pink cardigan KD 15.500 Black lace print on pink silk chiffon scarf from Oasis
