Artoma - Stand out of the crowd !

As easy it may seem it’s really hard to slam into a shopping mall and look for a something special for a dear one. I mean yes you can get a bunch of fancy candles, an art piece and something of the same kind but I believe gifts and tokens are an ideal and special way to define and strengthen your bond, and that is why picking the A-Okay gift is not fairly easy.
Then again if you know where to go things can take a turn and instead of spending hours in a gift shop, trying to figure out what to get wrapped you can order up at ‘Artoma’ which offers you a fabulous range of customizable accessories and articles. Artoma has been known to customize almost anything that you want them to. Personalized Key chains, Mobile pouches, Jewelry, Accessories and so much more are on their ‘can-do’ list.
Other than that there price list is something you don’t have to worry about. Every piece is perfectly molded and beyond compare. Quality is something they can never compromise on and that is why they have been receiving fan-love and orders in bulk.
A little about the owner of Artoma is that, when passion and talents combines nothing stops you, so was the case with Alvina Ali who is a Bio-medical Engineering student. She has not mastered the art by degree but every piece designed reflects perfection.

Swirl with Colors - Sabrang's Clutch Collection

Around the globe every woman has her own sense of style. For some, elegance is hidden within diamonds and pearls for others style describes comfort and trend. Here we are reviewing a really different collection that I have brought to my blog so far!

Sabrang launched their clutches collection this year, and I am glad that I got around them. These clutches are not ordinary. They have an eccentric and cultured touch to them. Wrapped with the up-to the minute pom pom lace that has been largely used in the nation as jewelry and dress embellishments, and with splashes of color all around the collection is my favorite part. Other than that these must-have beauties are loaded with fabric and beads that reflect the traditional and artistic side of the country.
One of the most notable parts of these over-sized carry-ons is that you can pretty much store a lot in them. Clutches in the market weigh heavy when it comes to cash but they are not so satisfying when you take a quick glance at their size.

Check out the page if you are interested in their foot-wear, personalized folders and much more!

Caviar by Kiran - Bags in your budget !

Fashion as we know is today is considered to be opulent and majestic. Anything that has a bulky tag attached is considered to be a brand, it is known to something exquisite. For some people material and quality is not significant, for them anything expensive is categorized to be a must have in their closets.

On the other hand, Folks having the true sense of style can pretty much identify that fashion as any brand that provides comfort and style, which is chic as well as sophisticated.
On our blog today we welcomed ‘Caviar by Kiran’ who has been spotted spreading stylized and rich bags nationwide.
What makes this one different? Well, to start off ‘Caviar by Kiran’ blazes with a ton of variety when it comes to their products. Oversized clutches, Hobo’s, Satchels, you name it and they’ll have it!
Kiran has assembled and designed each bag with such a perfection that may want to have each piece. The chains and bling added to the top brings life to the overall master-piece.
A variety of bags there have that on-going animal print over them, while some have sequins and other have been coated with fake snake-skin which is faux leather for real.

The colors are what I adore the most about this brand! They play with neutrals that can be matched with every dress and would complete your look to suited perfection. Well here are my thoughts on what the brand reflects. Head over to their page and feel free to order and write your reviews!

A blogger on the bench - Pink Clouds

Here we are again with an exciting interview from a blogger this time !
Then again I was surfing the web and crashed over a Facebook Page entitled 'Pink Clouds' ... so I sent the questionnaire and was lucky enough to get the reply back ! Here is what we talked about:

1.Tell us about the birth of 'Pink Clouds’... How and when did this all happen?
It was in June 2011...Pregnant and completely paranoid about getting stretch marks. I used to spend hours and hours on the internet trying to find out creams and massage oils to that might actually work. After reading loads of really helpful reviews and a couple of vague ones, I suddenly realized how much of time we girls spend online reading these blogs.… loving them… hating them… connecting with girls all over the world. Then i thought… OK so here I come. Pink Clouds was born just about instantly in maybe 5 minutes.  And yes! From that moment onwards… there was no looking back.

2.As a blogger what are the most important points that one should keep in view...Give out three reasons for all the bloggers out there.
Among the 100 guidelines which bloggers might have to look into, my top 3 would be:

a. Honesty: Always be honest about how you feel about the products you review. Doesn’t matter how other bloggers, YouTube gurus or celebrities feel about it. You Love it? Oh yes you do… You hate it? No need to compromise on your thoughts.

b. Try and develop a unique style. We all are inspired from other writers and blogs but don’t copy anyone else. You are a different person… so let your blog be who you are

c. Write as often as possible. At least 2 post a week. Because sometimes blogs get forgotten… you wouldn’t want yours to get lost right.

3.Pink Clouds is having this crazy fan following that I noticed earlier …How did that happen? Also what are a few tips to promote blogs?
Thank you! Well it’s a wonderful feeling when you wake up every morning and you see your blog has grown big. My blog did have a sudden boost this year because i have been quite active on it. I think one of the main reasons would be my giveaways. I have loads of them going on all the time. That’s the most easiest and healthy way of getting more followers.

4.To talk more about your blog, what s Pink -Cloud about? Do u stick to the usual reviews and give-away's or is there more in the package?
Pink Clouds is a girly blog. All about the pretty and pink stuff going on in my life. Well what’s different about her would be - I like to focus mainly on natural, cruelty free make up and skin care. I always try to bring out these really wonderful products that are chemical free and amazing but yet to be noticed in the blog world. If you do have a look at my reviews you will notice i don’t write about those 'Oh So Popular' brands which everyone is talking about all the time. I like to write about something different, interesting and also healthy. I am trying to introduce as many natural brands as possible for my readers. Just so we can all be pretty, pink and healthy!

Rapid Fire with Gaity Atiq

Surfing Facebook, I spotted ‘Kooky’. A brand that has rapidly getting famous around the nation. Kooky has been known for its customizable cushions, party favors and the prompt services. So this week I got a few questions ready for Gaity Atiq – the founder and owner of Kooky. Listed below is the conversation that took place:

1.First of all the cushions are amazing! Tell us how did you start the whole thing? Was this a whole pre-planned sort of an idea or this just popped up?
Thank you so much for the appreciation. I have just started, I really don’t know how but it started with  some family motivation, plus I always wanted to do something different and unique...so there it was.

2.Have you ever taken a short – course or earned a degree in designing soft – furnishings? Or something close to Arts probably?
No I haven’t taken any courses yet…I am actually a banker by profession. Before this I was into Dress designing and I launched a brand labeled ‘Ayesha –Gaity’, this was in collaboration with a friend but then she moved abroad. I hardly had enough time on my hands to cope up with the business alone.

3.Kooky is getting famed everyday… How do you feel about that? And where would you like to see it?
Oh it feels great! I have not priced the cushions high… I want them to be accessible for the masses. It’s the love of designing and creativity that I am into it...and I love every moment of it.  I want 'kooky' to be established as a brand that can customize just about anything for the customers.

4.The name ‘Kooky’…where did that came from?
This was actually my first nickname…my grandfather used to call me that...it’s in his fondest memories that I have kept it... he is sadly no more... so in his honor its 'kooky' !

5.Are there more products that you would be introducing in the coming seasons? Or you will stick to the cushions?

Actually i am doing some other products also, like personalized goody bags. I have some imported favors and favor pails that i am offering.  In future i will be starting wedding, bridal shower and baby shower favors, they will all be customized, Inshallah. Plus a lot of other embroidered stuff are also coming up which I’m not disclosing right now.

Sam Ovais - Synonym for Henna perfection

1. So let’s start by you telling a bit of how has henna designing influenced you and what is the history of you getting in this field?

I was inclined towards arts and crafts right from the beginning but coming from a family of doctors and engineers the artist in me was never really encouraged.  My paints etc. were taken away until I earned a BBA (Hons.) and MBA. The only thing allowed was a henna cone. So, my hands, arms, feet and sometimes legs were filled with Mehindi doodles almost all the time. After all, the entire artist in me needed to express. Back home, in Pakistan, I worked as Marketing Manager for a leading media group but the not-so-favorable-corporate-environment at KSA made me take this hobby seriously. Initially I did not expect the response that I enjoy today but Allah has been the kindest to me, I'd say.

2. How many years has it been you practicing this art?

The earliest memories are since I was 8 years old. I used to fill up my hands, arms, feet and even legs just to make patterns. I used to do henna on friends, relatives, friends of friends (brides especially), paper, glass, vases, mirror anything I could get hold of was filled with my Mehindi patterns. People used to relate Mehindi with me. I could never have enough of it.

3. Did you learn henna designing or this was merely passion and you started on your own?

 I have never ever had a formal training. It started as a passion turned into a hobby and practice polished it.

4. Over the years, how has the response related to fans?

People have always appreciated my work, ever since I started doodling with a henna cone, and that has always inspired and encouraged me to do better. It was only after I arrived at Saudi Arabia that I took this seriously and thought of taking it to another level. Allah has been kind.

5. I have seen you working and getting appreciated over the group and in person… How do you feel about that?

So far it hasn't got into my head. I still feel there's room for improvement. I feel humbled when people trust me to leave a pleasant stain that would last on their hands for days and memories for years to come. The real appreciation for my work is when the client leaves with a bright smile only to come back again.

6. Where would you like to see this designing talent of yours?

I never thought I would get such a warm response when I started it a year ago. As the logical next step, I'm already in collaboration with event management houses, wedding planning companies to present my art on a larger scale. Also, I plan to expand my portfolio to other cultural arts.

Further, I plan for Sam's to serve as an umbrella for other aspiring artists and thus I'm planning to conduct henna training classes in the near future. Art knows no boundaries; it should and would spread across continents, Inshallah.

Chic and Sophisticated - New in Town

Elegance does not consist of putting on a new dress – Coco Chanel

From the above quoted expression a lady then is left with two choices – Makeup or Jewelry. A percentage around the globe declares Makeup to be a synonym of artificial beauty. People prefer grabbing branded bags and shoes instead of paying cash over layers of that foundation and as a result getting a cakey –face!

So I guess this is clear that jewelry gets the highest votes!

This week we have an online shop ‘Chic and Sophisticated’ over our blog. The store presents a range of imported fashion accessories, taking rings, bracelets, necklaces, shades, Hair accessories and so much more on their list. The best thing about this store is affordable prices. Though they are imported, but the price tag has been putting a smile over the customers and making them order more and more.

Zainab – owner of the store, explained that imported jewels are something that you can get them from anywhere but what makes ‘Chic and Sophisticated so different is the quality and affordability. The customers are deeply satisfied and love shopping at the stores.

Upon clicking the photos tab over the page you can get a list of all the items included in the shop. Discount products and Sales are also a part of the albums. You can simply click and order your favorite jewels to your heart’s desire.

We thank and wish luck to the whole team for a brighter future.
