Confashions From Kuwait

Wishing you all a very happy Halloween! What did you end up dressing as? This year I focused on my kids costume and I ended up wearing a boring hairband as a costume. My boys looked amazing though! A Scarecrow and a skeleton! Will try to share a photo soon.

Found a really nice statement necklace that won't break the bank! Spotted this greenish beaded necklace at Weekend by Maxmara at The Avenues the other day and it was selling for KD 35 only. The beauty of it, is that it can be worn as a belt, wrapped around your neck in a cute knot, or simply have it dangling on your neck.

The exhibition is organized by LOYAC Kuwait , a nonprofit organization working towards the overall development of youth within our region and to empower them through unique opportunities to evolve into highly humane effective citizens. LOYAC is re-purposing oil barrels into seats that are going to be showcased throughout various venues in all of Kuwait’s governorates. The intention behind using oil barrels is to highlight the nation’s most prized asset, as a symbol of peace and contribution, further underlining Kuwait’s role as an advocate of humanitarian initiatives, activities and breakthroughs. I was impressed by how organized the exhibition was and by the work of some of the participants/artists. My favorite barrel was this beautiful piece, shown in the first photo above, designed and painted by Ibrahim Habib who is a devoted fine arts educator. According to his...

I must apologize for the radio silence! I haven't posted in quite sometime. Having a full-time job and raising kids ain't easy! So I'm glad I managed to steal some time off to update my beloved blog. I'm more active on instagram ( @confashions ) nowadays I guess! Anyhow, here's a quick outfit of the day post. I took this photo right after work. I was wearing a Roksanda flared short-sleeves jacket, decorated it with a tiny ecru alphabet brooch, paired the jacket with Roksanda's striped top, TopShop's cropped blue pants, and Giambattista Valli's embellished pointy flats from AlOthman Boutique .
