Hessa Alkhattaf @khattafya


Hessa Alkhattaf  also known as khattafya is a young Kuwaiti fashion blogger. I personally chose her today due to her modest style. while I was looking through her Instagram I noticed her outfits are very modest and fashionable at the same time. she's a great inspiration to other Muslim girls due to her fashionable and modest style. Also her outfit of the day pictures are very nice, high quality and very clear. which I see as very important for a fashion blogger as the outfit my completely show. i asked her a couple of questions and here is what she replied with. she was really friendly and sweet when I asked her the questions.

The black skirt in the picture is from her
fashion line >
 



1-What inspired you to start your own blog?
●كنت اتابع الموضه بشكل متتابع و لاني احببت الاهتمام الزائد في نفسي و قمت بإضافة اللمسات الخاصه لي في حياتي اليوميه ، و عند تشجيع اقاربي لي تم فتح المدونه ولكن الان تم الغائها ولكن فقط املك لي حساب في الانستقرام بسبب لا املك الوقت الفاضي لمتابعه المدونه و طرح كل ما هو جديد .
 she always had an eye for fashion. and with her family and friends support she opened a fashion blog, However now she has closed it as she hasn't got enough time. However she still posts photos on her instagram account.
 
2- Give us an insight into your daily routine/typical day ?
●حياتي اليوميه ليس مثل كل يوم ولكن اجزئها بعض الاحيان اكون في قرفتي و اصمم ثياب الخاصه في علامتي التجاريه 
و اليوم الاخر اخصصه للتسوق و الاخر لجلسات الاهل و الاقرباء .
she doesn't have a specific routine,  sometimes she simply sits in her room and sketches designs for her clothing line, some days are for shopping and other days are family days,
3-where would you like to see your blog in the future? 
●كنت اطمح الى العالميه و الحمدالله لانه تم دخوله و زيارتها ما يقارب 123.648 الف من أنحاء العالم و ليس فقط في الوطن العربي ولكن من الغرب ، الشرق ، الشمال و الجنوب ... لم اكن اعلم بانني سوف اصبح بهذه الشهره ولكن احمد الله باني تفوقت في ذلك و لم اكن مثل غيري من المدونات .
shes was wishing for international fame, but she has achieved that. she has 123648 blog views from around the world and shes really happy with that. *one of them is me -London hehe*
4- what's your favourite designer or brand ? 
●افضل علامه تجاريه بالنسبه لي لا يوجد ولكن احب الاماكن المتواضعه وليس المبالغ فيها لكي تكون لكل الناس ولا تظلم احد.
ولكن من ناحيه المصممين العرب احب تصاميم وإبداعات شاب احبب ان يكون في عالم الموضه و وضع لمساته الخاصه 
@j_by_yousif
●ولكن من المؤسف انني ارى شاب في عمر الزهور و ابداعاته ولكن الغير يتم استيلاء على تصاميمه و يقومون باخذها و سرقه التصاميم ولكن عند رؤيه تصاميه على فتاه اخرى في السوق اعرف بانه هذا هو من تصميم يوسف و هذه هي الماركه التي احبها مجرد النظر اليتها و بدون اي رمز يتم معرفتها و معرفه صاحبها و مصممها .
she doesn't have a favourite brand but she likes the designs of @J_by_yousif . He's a young Kuwaiti designer with lovely and unique designs.
5- where do u normally shop ? Any specific mall or shop ? 
●افضل التسوق في الكويت و خاصة في مجمع الافنيوز لانه يترواح اكثر من 50 محل و يوجد فيه الماركات و غيرها من المحلات المتواضعه و الاغلب احب ان اشتري من H&M لانه يتمتع بكل نواحي الملابس من رياضيه و رسمي ....الخ.
She's likes shopping in the Avenues mall (Kuwait ) because it has more then 50 shops. she likes to shop at H&M which is also my favourite shop.
 
6- do you have a specific fashion icon, if yes who?
●في العرب لا افضل احد ولكن من الغرب نعم
She doesn't have a specific Arab fashion icon however she has a non-arab fashion icon.
 
7- what advice would you give to bloggers that have just started their journey ? 
●ليس كل من حب الموضه او اعجبته الموضه يقوم بعمل المدونه ولكن من يمكنه تحمل مسؤليه المدونه يقوم بفعلها لان المدونه مثل النصف الاخر للشخص العاشق للموضه تريد الاهتمام بها و طرح كل ما هو جديد من افكار
.

 

Also she has recently launched her own fashion line also called 'khattafya' you find it on her instgram page @Khattafya <3 p="">
Thank you Hessa for you time and i wish you best of luck.

A traditional gathering.

Girgi3an! so as you all Arabs may know about girgi3an, we had a grgi3an gathering today. and for all my followers that don't know what girgi3an is, its a traditional 'gulf' celebration which usually takes place on the 13, 14,15 day o Ramadan pretty much like Halloween the concept that children dress up and knock on the neighbourhood, sing, and get sweets however our kids dress up traditionally with bright colours. So I wasn't in Kuwait for this years girgi3an so it wasn't very special. So me and my sister decided to MAKE it special we did a little gathering with friends over, but I had nothing that suited the dress up criteria. However I did have this printed fabric I wanted to make ages ago but didn't have time. Therefor I gave it to my mum and she made it for me in 2 hours, I know she's super mum hehehe and here's the full outfit....

A neon sorta outfit.

Todays outfit was very vibrant, its really hot in London so I pulled out something very cheerful and colour full. to be honest I didn't have shoes that matched the outfit apart from Tan Pumps which was boring so I wore my neon Yellow shoes and swaged it out with a neon yellow scarf as you can see over my shoulder held with a Tan belt and here's the results....

 
my personal customised bad ;$

Why are watches worn on the left ?

A random topic today. But I'm sure you guys wonder why watches are worn on the left wrist, because its etiquette? That's what I thought. Well i found out their it's because its more easier for a right handed person to put the watch on the left hand using the dominant hand, especially if the watch has a tang buckle. Therefore i have concluded it's due to comfort and more convenient. So no not due to etiquette or prestige.
