Fashion blogger

2- why do you do what you do??

Blogging is an outlet for my passion for fashion and it documents all my favorite things related to fashion and lifestyle in one easy-to-access hub. .

3- where do you do it? (online shop, business address, contact details and blog)

4- Best birthday cake memory? taste? from?

My birthday cake from Sugar and Spice. Plain chocolate and Vanilla. They have the best icing ever.

5- you have 30 kd and you need to feed 20 guests, what do you do? where do you go?

Buy falafil, hummos, foul, fresh tomatoes, arabic bread, cucumber, mint, zaatar, green olives, and a box of oranges (for juice), and white Baladi/Labneh cheese. And serve them in small colorful and very modern platters to give them a fancy look. I’d get all the above from kanari/sharaf/dodo and the Co-op. And I’m sure I’ll have enough money left to buy Halwa and rahash to serve as dessert (cut in small cubes) with arabic coffee.

6- What makes an event unique and meaningful to you??

Good company and great music

7- What is your favourite celebration?

Birthdays

8- Name one wedding tradition that you wish to see re-invented.

Food being served after the wedding, especially in traditional weddings, so unpractical and tiring!

9-What did you do/wear this Newyears eve?

Went to a relative’s chalet had a nice and cozy BBQ with family and close friends

10- 2 must play songs for a chillout event?

Anything by Adele and Chan Chan by Buena Vista Social Club

11- Best snacks to have on cocktail tables at a party?

Assorted cheeses, roasted cheery tomatoes infused with dried rosemary leaves and fresh Parmesan, edemame, mixed nuts, dried fruits, veggies…

12- Traditional wedding or mixed wedding?

I enjoy them both 🙂

13- Cake or cupcakes?

Cake

14- Best song to get everyone dancing?

I gotta feeling by Black eyed Peas and Arabic “7abeebi ma hammo ghair el shakshaka”…

15- If you can throw an event anywhere in Kuwait.. where would it be? (kuwait towers, green island?)

Kuwait Towers. I’ve always been very proud of them (hence my blog’s header) and always imagined that they’d get revamped.

16- Ballroom or home weddings? mention pros and cons

Home weddings… they’re more cozy and intimate. However, they’re just as tiring as having a ballroom wedding if not more. You have the hassle of cleaning up and re-arranging the furniture…

17- hidden treasure , party suppliers in Kuwait?

you can name anything, from cool rugs in imbarakiya, to soog il blockaat, and then possibly some great gers egaily from a local bakery.. do tell! 🙂

There is this shop in Hawalli on Beirut Street opposite to Dar Al Shiffa’a Hospital, not sure what its name is, but we call it Baya’a Al Ward because it’s located right below a florist shop. It has allll sorts of material for hosting an event or a party such as gift boxes/bags for favors, ribbons, glue gun, baskets, charms… etc. And they’re very cheap price wise.

18 – any tips on making your home, event ready?

(certain candle scents, design tips? anything you want to share.)

Bukhoor and fresh bouquet of tulips or peonies

19- source of inspiration in kuwait?

Art Galleries and old houses built in the 60s and 70s..

20- and these are just for fun….what do you prefer?

challet or city? City

night owl or early bird? Early Bird

polka dots or stripes? A mix of both

pastels or brights? Brights for now…

morning fix? Skimmed milk infused with saffron and cardamom
