All I want now is...

For those of you who appreciate the finer things in life, here's a "little" treat. Instead of running around looking for the latest IT bag or the latest clothes to wear for fall, why not treat yourself with this gorgeous Van Cleef & Arpels mother of pearl necklace from the Alhambra collection?

You have probably seen it in paparazzi photos of celebs like Reese Witherspoon, wearing it while doing her errands. Or, surprisingly, Paris Hilton (That's probably the only thing she wore that I actually want!). The beautiful necklace retails for approximately $10,000.


So, Mom.. if you're reading this and if you've been feeling charitable lately, this is your opportunity to make a generous gift to your precious daughter. I also welcome any Monetary donations if you're too tired to go shopping. I love you too, mom. :)

The birkin is old, I don't see it going out of fashion :P Jewelry don't go out of fashion that easily :) besides, they just launched a newer version of the nechlace, you can check it out online on their website.

I know.. you can also buy the fake ones online for $80.

P.S: Thank you very much ;)

Update: I just read on the net that The new collection aimed to younger generation, which will makes its way to the U.S. for an exclusive preview on July 10, will hit stores in October. Prices are expected to start at around $800.
The collection includes bracelets and pendants on chains—shorter pieces perfect for younger girls with longer, complementary versions for moms with the same whimsical turquoise or mother-of-pearl clovers, butterflies and hearts only in miniature.

Hmmnn... Van Clef it is then for everybody and their sister, this summer of 07.

You truly have the makings in you of a fashion publicist par excellence!

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...
