Fashionable TV Shows

If you haven't mastered the art of downloading TV episodes from the net, then now is the time for you to learn and practice because fashion is back in style on TV this fall. Keep an eye on the next new generation of Sex & the City TV shows: Lipstick Jungle, Cashmere Mafia, and Gossip Girl.



Lipstick Jungle is based on the best-selling book by Candace Bushnell (The brain behind Sex and the City), this enticing new drama follows three modern & high-powered friends in their 40's as they weather the ups and downs of their lives in the city that never sleeps (NY of course). Nico (Kim Raver of 24), editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine, has her eye on becoming CEO. Movie exec Wendy (Brooke Shields) does everything she can to balance career and family. And free-spirited designer Victory (Lindsay Price, remember her from Beverly Hills 90210?) longs to make her dreams come true, and maybe find Mr. Right (or Mr. Big?) along the way. The show is scheduled to air January 2008.


From the Producer of Sex & the City Darren Star comes Cashmere Mafia which is a drama about four bright, and relatable Manhattan women bonded by their Ivy League educations and executive success. They support each other through rocky marriages, rival colleagues, kids' recitals and the hunt for the perfect loft. The girls will be dressed by celebrity stylist, you guessed it, Patricia Field, the amazing women behind the SATC's wardrobe. The show is scheduled to air on December 4th.



Gossip Girl is based on the popular book series of the same name, this drama gives viewers a peek into the world of privileged teenagers at an exclusive Manhattan prep school who keep up on local gossip from a secretive blogger who gets the scoop on everything and everyone. Doesn't it feel like Paris & Nicole minus the rehab? The story is written by the same guys behind the O.C.

I think all the girls on these shows will constantly be compared to Sex & The City and specifically Carrie's style. Carrie (and her shoe collection) has a very special place in my heart, and I find it very difficult to find someone who can take her place. But let's give them the benefit of the doubt and see how "big" they're going to make it.

Great post! I wasn't terribly impressed by Lipstick Jungle when I saw it but it may improve with more showings. I hope Cashmere Mafia is better!

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...
