Retro We Go


As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm not a great fan of Juicy Couture tracksuits. However, I actually liked Juicy's girly-retro take on this classic style. The 3/4 sleeve navy colored jacket is embroidered with thick white threads. It's perfect for our not-so-cold weather with dresses or skinny or slim-leg pants. The Jacket was KD 181 and now it is being sold for KD 90.500 at Villa Moda Al-Fanar.

It can't get more retro chic than this. It reminds me of Kuwait Airways cabin crew uniform except they are blue with gold rings. Got to say, we may all hate their guts for the inflight service (or the lack of it) and the crappy on-board meal selection they provide us with but they always seem to get more bang for their money on crew attire and presentation. One could easily mistake their cabin crew uniforms for that of a French or Italian flag carrier. I dunno know it's very Nina Ricci Balenciaga, if you will. And although I meant it as a compliment you can't help wonder why KU doesn't get the likes of Villa Moda or Al Ostoura to commission Valentino, Chloe or Ungaro to design silk Kaftans for them : colour coded for each class of travel.

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...
