21 Carrots

I finally managed to visit one of the two new concept boutiques launched by the Sheikh of Chic Majed Al-Sabah. The shop is called 21 Carrots, and The first thing that caught my attention was the stunning interior of the boutique. And I'm not surprised, Sheikh Majed's standards are always impeccably high, so I wouldn't expect anything less from him. If you scroll down to the last three photos, you'll notice the amount of wood craftsmanship and carving done so beautifully. And it's such a nice treat because I don’t often come across captivating interior inside shops in Kuwait. Sure we have a lot of boutiques in Kuwait that sell gorgeous stuff, but in most cases fashion store owners prefer to keep their interior plain vanilla.

Back to 21 Carrots, the boutique offers a vast selection of desserts, salty canapés, and sweet delights for receptions, gifting, and special events. Think chocolates, cakes, macaroons, and cookies which go by the name of Crazy for Chanel, love for ford, Mr. Karl, and Viva Valentino. How adorable is that? They also offer catering service to assist you with customizing food menu for your special occasion. They'll take care of the silverware, flower and table arrangements too. 

And that's not all, every now and then, 21 Carrots will host a new fashion designer where he/she will showcase his/her latest collection of clothes or accessories. This month, 21 Carrots is introducing Indonesian designer Biyan Wanaatmadja, one of Indonesia’s most prominent fashion designers. I haven't heard of him before, but I liked what I saw a lot. His limited collection included a modern selection of exquisite and meticulously embroidered dresses, tops, and caftans rich with oriental heritage. The price range is between KD 400 and KD 1,000. My favorite piece has to be the caftan/dress featured in the first photo. I'd definitely wear it for fancy Ramadan Ghabga (Dinner). And I loved the statement necklace paired with it too, it looked like something fetched from a coral reef. I hope the boutique will not turn into catering business only, because when you get a taste of beautiful fashion like Biyan's, you'd want to see more.    

21 Carrots is located at Al Hamra Mall in Kuwait City. For further inquires, please call (+965) 6604-8222.

Furniture displayed in store is also for sale. They can also replicate the interior design of the walls for your home if you want.

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?

Magical Mode

As anyone who regularly reads Confashions may know, there are some designers I’ve been obsessed with for quite some time: one is the genius Erdem , the other is Nicholas Kirkwood , and Pierre Hardy . And because their designs are somehow easily accessible online and offline, I had the pleasure of featuring some of their creations and showing them the love they deserve. That said, there is one designer I’ve been particularly smitten with for quite some time. He has always been on the top of my favorite designers list ever since I was introduced to his designs by my fabulous fellow fashionisto Adnan Z Manjal   a couple of years back : Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi . I always wished I featured him more. I couldn’t because his pieces are very exclusive and as far as I know not stocked anywhere here. This clearly isn't just another post on my obvious love for Mohammed Ashi’s designs or the quality of his clothes as I have done that previously. Ashi simply deserves his very own epic p...

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.
