The W Hotel in Istanbul

If you're following me on instgram or twitter, then you'd probably know by now that I'm currently vacationing in Istanbul, Turkey. This is my first time in this magical city and I'm loving every minute of it thanks to tips from friends and family, and of course google. We're staying at The W Hotel, which may not appeal to a lot of people because of its dark lighting and very modern, sometimes impractical, amenities. But personally, I love it! I have a thing for this chain of hotels, remember my previous stay at London's W Hotel? It's very hip, private, quiet, well located, close to historical places and of course Beymen and Co.! Their concierge service is beyond amazing, the best I have seen so far, no snobby attitude, always goes the extra mile to help. Superb! Here are some of my favorite things spotted at the hotel. For better view and more information, please click here.

Gorgeous chair at the Lobby area.. lots of pink neon lights throughout the hotel

The cieling in our room is covered with arabesque style design with a modern twist

Pink neon lights everywhere..

The hotel's restaurant/lounge area

Statement necklaces at the lobby's entrance... love at first sight!

Loved their Terrace, a cool place to chill out...

In love with the tiles on the floor

I like how everywhere in the hotel they incorporated Ottoman patterns into the contemporary design

Bliss products too? Two thumbs up!

I didn't know they had a presence in Istanbul. The W in New York City is equally wow-some!
It kinda has the look and feel of the Missoni Kuwait except service standards are right up there.
You enjoy now!
To my mind, the W Istanbul comes across more of a Hudson Hotel in Hell's Kitchen (NY) meets Constantinople.

Can't wait to go to Turkey. I've never been there either.. I've been to the W Hotel in Doha, Qatar. Loved it. The complimentary Bliss products are the best! The lemon moisturizer is great, and so is the body wash and facial exfoliator.

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.

Amazing Alia

Several months ago I posted about Alia Designs , a Kuwaiti talented designer of traditional clothes and dresses. Back then, I liked one of the items featured on her website. This time I'm going ga-ga over her latest Ramadan collection of Kaftans and darraa'at! Especially the one shown here on the first picture. Looks very young, comfortable, and oh-so-perfect for after futoor! For inquiries please visit the website or call (+965) 642-7400.
