Simple and Sweet

With all the craziness of caftan designs around, especially the badly mix'n'unmatched ones I saw recently! I started craving seeing simply designed caftans. So when the girls behind Keswah, Arabic for clothing, e-mailed me about their brand, I immediately was attracted to their simple and sweet the collection. Keswah is the brainchild of three Emarati girls who have joined forces to create their own fashion label in contemporary caftans. Inspired by their traditional clothing and international fashion trends, Keswah is working on pushing more of the accessible female conservative clothing styles in UAE and developing new and innovative concepts. Featured here are photos of their first collection.

For more information, please send an email to info@Keswah.com.

I SO agree with "Just me." I read the name, frowned and said, "Ma ligay ela hal isim?" Their pieces look really cool but...the name! I think I'd be embarrassed to say it out loud if someone would ask me where I'd bought my kaftan from...!

Lol Girls I know what you mean by that, but in the UAE Keswah is quite commonly used. Ask your mothers Im sure they're familiar with that because here quite often women would send each other clothes as gifts from fabrics to night gowns, these kind of gifts are called Keswah. كسوة

LOOOL!!
tsk tsk tsk! :P
Well, maybe for us Kuwaities we're not too comfortable with the brand name but let's not forget that it's targeted to all GCC countries.. so maybe it's not as "uncomfortable" as it seems. Besides, it's the design that matter and it definitely looks fab!

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.

Sephora Opening Soon At The Avenues II

Beauty Junkies rejoice! The famous retailer of perfumes and cosmetics and the leading beauty chain in Europe and US, Sephora , will be opening soon at The Avenues Phase II. Personally, I like Sephora not only because of its tempting cosmetic selection, but mainly because I don't feel pressured by sales associates to buy stuff that I don't really need. I can actually touch and try the products without having the sales associate stalking me around and giving me some unnecessary comments about my skin/make-up. I think Sephora will make it big here if it sells its high-end cosmetics which are unavailable at other beauty stores/pharmacies in Kuwait. Does anyone have any product recommendations or favorites?
