Ramadan: Kaftan Time.







When else can you wear these gorgeous dresses?
*smile*


Let me list you what I bought so far:

*1st destination: darUSHA

Well, this small boutique has some very unique outfits to offer. And you have to be quick and hurry to their shop as soon as you receive a msg announcing their new arrival because they only get limited pieces of each style, and they always sell out fast.

So, when I received their msg. I grabbed my bag and hurried to their shop. And let me tell you I wasn't disappointed. I walked out with 4 gorgeous dresses.


*2nd stop: Aisha Al-Fadhel

Now this sweet young thing designs the sweetest, most romantic ankle-length kaftans. And with each season, she is gaining a well-deserved reputation of making the most beautiful dresses there is.

I simply adore Aisha, and I adore her loving family and the welcoming friendly atmosphere. That's why when I received her msg, I didn't hesitate to cut my nap short, and go early in the afternoon to her house in Kaldiya.

The street infront of her house was already packed, and I could have kicked myself for not coming earlier!

Anyhow, I went in and was met with millions of friends, and gazillion familiar faces. I picked out two pieces, one of them was ready to take home with me, and the other was to order. Khallast shoghly o ma kan weddy a6la3 mn kether ma kan elwath3 7addah wanasa :-)


*3rd visit: Reem Al-Mudhaf

One word : "Ibdaa3" !

I enter the room, and right then and there I knew I was in trouble! Everything was beautiful, the dresses were to die for. Loved how she paid attention to the tiniest detail. The presentation with the thick black leather album --> very VERY classy.

Sadda3ny rasy, o 3awwarny gulbi becoz I couldn't choose. Kel dress a7la mn ilthani, and I couldn't possibly buy the whole collection- could i ? .. No, X would kill me :-/

So I ended up with 2 dresses, and just as I was about to leave, I couldn't resist and added a third :")

Reem, You are one of a kind, and I salute you: *Standing ovation*


*Aakher ma7a66a: Alia Al-Hajeri

I visited this charming young lady and found her collection to be adorned with embellishments and embroidery. Too much for my taste, but beautiful never-the-less. I know what she is capable of, and she has an amazing talent, but I loved the previous collection best.

I also loved what she did to her place. Seems that she's not only has an eye for fashion, but for decorating as well :-)

Now for me,
I don't bother go no where else,
the above listed names are the BEST there is. Period.
