Handmade with Love


If you think Paisley is just another local fashion fad, think again! Paisley provides a range of colorful and unique multi-layered necklaces made out of soft fabrics, making them the perfect accessory to wear during this cooler weather as… you guess it..  a scarf.

Paisley is the brainchild of Kuwaiti etsy-eque entrepreneur Ascia Al-Faraj. She was looking for a way to channel all her extra energy and creativity. So she started making these practical and original necklaces/scarves. Her partner Hawra'a Khalfan, joined her in July and from there the business took off. Paisley was showcased at many local exhibitions. Actually, they managed to be in the top 10 businesses at Yalla Shabab event. They will be participating in another local event at Salwa Sabah ballroom which will be held on 20th and 21st Dec, as well as at Get2Gether Exhibition in January.



Paisley is currently being sold at My Secret Closet boutique in Karizma, across from Amiri Hospital. For orders or further information, please send an e-mail to paisleyq8@gmail.com.

I had the opportunity to meet the team from Paisley @ the Barcode exhibition just recently, and they were all very friendly and personable girls. I bought one of their scarves, and I must say they are not only stylish, but extremely comfy as well-- not stuffy like other scarves can sometimes be :)

Chanel Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection

I can't remember if I shared my views about Chanel's Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection on my blog or not, but I thought I'd share with you some photos of the pieces on display now at Chanel Boutique in Kuwait, Prestige in the Avenues and Salhiya Complex. I wasn't too crazy about the clothes. However, I did like some of the bags which had pompoms and tassels on them, as well as the gigantic pearl clutch. I also loved the Moroccan-inspired pointy flats and the silver jewelry adorned with coins and crescents. Of course the shoes were sold out in my size and I wasn't so crazy about the patterned ones. I LOVED the flap bag with Pom Poms, but it was above my budget. Overall the collection felt more Moroccan than Dubai-an. I wish if they have incorporate more of the our gulf region's culture into the designs. Oh And I added to this post photos of Chanel's milk carton shaped python clutch bag embellished with a CC signature. They're not part of the Dubai colle

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.
