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!

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.
