{ Hijabi Girl + Interview = Mirriam Kaissi }

Who are you? Where do you live?

My name is Mirriam Kaissi and I'm a 25 year old mother of 2 children currently living and studying in London.

What were your inspirations?

Undoubtedly my inspirations came from my country of origin, Morocco. Being a young Girl brought up in London it was always a pleasure to have the opportunity to go back to Morocco and experience some of the regions richest cultures.

 

You have been inspired by your family too, please tell us more.

It would always cease to amaze me the level of intricacy my sister in laws would put in to the making of their own Moroccan Kaftans also known as (Tackshita or Lebsa)

They would sit on the roof tops over looking Tangiers watching the peaceful sunset over the hustle and bustle below. Mint tea was always on order at this time of the evening and so was Kaftan Making.

Because they were unable to work away from home they would have what you could call a Job which enabled them to work from home. They would seamlessly divide their time from housework into hand embroidery and hand made Buttons which they made for the neighboring merchants and dress makers.

This level of workmanship or workwomenship ;) that went into these elegant garments surely caught my attention and I'm sure they will catch the imagination of women here in the UK too.

How would you describe your style?

I would describe my style as being Elegant and worthy of being a garment fit for a Princess or a Bride.

Do you have any website??

I'm currently in the process of setting up the website and will be sure to let you know when it's all systems go.

but feel free to join my facebook fan page

{Interior Design}

This home in Chicago  inspired me today.

I�ve always believed that there is so much beauty in the  simple things, 

Soft and romantic colors , Plain and sunny, There are few very interesting details

I want just watch an old movie in this house and drink my hot chocolat the sunday morning . ^.^

*Cette maison � Chicago m' a inspir� aujourd'hui.

J'ai toujours cru qu'il y'a tant de beaut� dans les choses simples,

Tr�s ensoleill�, couleurs douces et romantiques, il y'a quelques d�tails tr�s int�ressants.

Je veux juste regarder un vieux film dans cette maison et boire mon chocolat chaud le dimanche matin. ^.^

{ Travel: Jaipur }

For those who don't know me I'm a big fan of Indian films.

I had the chance to meet four famous indian actors 

Shahrukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan,

 Abhishek Bachan and Rani Mukherjee in the filming laaga chunari mein daag in switzerland.

Aishwarya Rai in Umrao Jaan

India is one of those countries that gets under the skin 

and always leaves strong memories for anyone lucky enough to spend time there.

But it's not Bombay the commercial and entertainment capital of India who I like,  

Jaipur it's my favorite city, the capital and largest city of the Indian state of Rajasthan.

I am blown away by the spectacular scenery of this city, food and hospitality. 

On the �must-do� list for many is Rajasthan, 

where you can arrive in style on an elephant, 

 marvel at the palaces of Jaipur, spot tigers and leopards in the national parks 

or escape to sands of the stunning Thar Desert.

A must see, a truly magnificent Maharaja�s palace, located in the heart of Jaipur. 

Tucked behind fortified walls, The Raj Palace is Jaipur�s former royal residence and a multi-award-winning hotel

I think India is rich in its heritage and has so much to offer to the  world in terms of fabrics, styles, colours .

Best films: Kahbi Alvida Naa Kehna,   Devdas,   Bunty Aur Bably( I feel see my husband and I, lol)
  Top songs: Mughal Azam,   Re Dola Re Dola,   Jodha Akbar
  Top actresses: Madhuri Dixit, Rani Mukherji,  Aishwarya Rai

Best stylist: Neeta Lulla

L'Inde est l'un des pays qui laisse toujours des souvenirs forts pour tous ceux qui ont eu la chance de le visiter.

 Mais ce n'est pas Bombay, la capitale commerciale et du divertissement que j'aime!!
Jaipur est ma ville pr�f�r�e, la plus grande ville de l'�tat indien du Rajasthan.

Je suis �poustoufl� par les paysages spectaculaires de cette ville, la nourriture et l'hospitalit�.

Cute elephant with their bags Hermes :)

 

A voir absolument, le palais d'un Maharaja, situ� au coeur de Jaipur.
Cach� derri�re les murs fortifi�s, Le Raj Palace  est l'ancienne r�sidence royale et un h�tel multi-prim�.

Je pense que l'Inde est riche de son h�ritage et a beaucoup � offrir au monde  

en termes de couleurs et de styles.

Meilleurs films: Kahbi Alvida Naa Kehna,   Devdas,   Bunty Aur Bably(j'ai l impression de voir mon mari et moi, lol)

Meilleurs chansons: Mughal Azam,   Re Dola Re Dola,   Jodha Akbar
