Are "IT" bags overrated?

Go to Lorenzo, Salhiya, or Maki on any week night and you'd porobably find at least 5 girls carrying the new balenciaga (with the golden studs).. 4 other girls carrying different shades of Marni's baloon bag (haven't seen one carrying the yellow balllon bag yet...).. ten girls carruing the same Chanel coco cabas... What is this obsession with carrying the it bag of the season!! it's not going to make you the next Lindsay, MK&A, or Nicole! especially in Kuwait..




To me an IT bag should be:

A bag that has no been carried around by 1/2 of the kuwaiti female population

Can only be seen in the magazine once throughout the season

Makes people wonder "What is this bag?"

Should not be worn by Paris Hilton.

What is your bag for this season???

I have a Fendi Moncler Spy Bag

Its not like the other Spy bags..
Fendi and Moncler have collaborated to make a limited edition 'Spy' made from quilted nylon.

I bought from Rome last November! I just couldn't resist! The one I bought is red ;-) Never saw another gal carrying it here in Kuwait!!

Niiiice! I've seen the green & black version of it. I was sooo tempted to get the green one but changed my mind as I already had a spy bag and wanted sth different..

Dosen't it feel good to carry such a bag around? Flaunt it baby :P

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit.  After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the  Altuzarra   sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away.  Which pair would you go for?

Magical Mode

As anyone who regularly reads Confashions may know, there are some designers I’ve been obsessed with for quite some time: one is the genius Erdem , the other is Nicholas Kirkwood , and Pierre Hardy . And because their designs are somehow easily accessible online and offline, I had the pleasure of featuring some of their creations and showing them the love they deserve. That said, there is one designer I’ve been particularly smitten with for quite some time. He has always been on the top of my favorite designers list ever since I was introduced to his designs by my fabulous fellow fashionisto Adnan Z Manjal   a couple of years back : Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi . I always wished I featured him more. I couldn’t because his pieces are very exclusive and as far as I know not stocked anywhere here. This clearly isn't just another post on my obvious love for Mohammed Ashi’s designs or the quality of his clothes as I have done that previously. Ashi simply deserves his very own epic p...

My Birkin... My Pride & Joy

Birkin ... Birkin .. Birkin ... you mesmerize me.. I'm so addicted to yoooooou . sitting galmorously in my closet is my hard earned blue Hermes Birkin Bag. To own it is like the ultimate fashionista dream. I look at it lovingly and think to myself " daaaamn ! you are one hell of a lucky girl! I shall protect you from the evil eye 'till the day I die ". My friend asked me once why am I so obsessed with my Birkin . I can list 100 reasons why. But just to be short & sweet, it's exclusive, expensive ( I saw a Birkin in vogue with diamonds on it's hardware. How much do you think it costs? ), it's hand crafted , it takes 2 whole weeks of dedication to produce one, and it's THE bag everyone in the fashion world admires. During a recent visit to The Comfort Shoe at Mariam Complex , I came across a Birkin look alike ( shown in the pictures above ). I have to admit, from afar the bag actually looked good. So I went in to check it out. And THANK GO...
