Oasis Goes Miu Miu-ish and MJ-ish

Before we go any further here, I have to point out that I am not an Oasis fan, I was at some point but that was years and years ago, before the so-called quality of their clothes gone south. I don't know what went wrong with their designs. Probably one of their managers/board members gone all stingy and decided to take the dreaded cost-cutting strategy on us. Anyhow...


It seems that the British high street stable Oasis, has caught on to the trendy crystal and studs embellished designs from last Spring/Summer Miu Miu and Marc Jacobs collections. Oasis was "inspired" by the queen-of-hearts Miu Miu jewel-embellished pointy flats and "the-not-so-prompt" Marc Jacobs square toe studded flats. And to my surprise, the flats are actually comfortable when I tried them on. But that's only at the store. I'm not sure if they'll be comfortable enough to survive my rigorous shopping sprees. Take a look at the designer inspired Oasis shoes:





The shoes are sold for KD 14. Very very verrry affordable price for those who are looking for designer inspired pieces. And here are some pictures of the real deal... what do you think of that?

A lot of high street brands do exact imitations of the more expensive brands. its not always as good a quality as the latter.

They're mostly cheap versions. But sometimes they're comfy too (which is what matters - supposedly) hehe..

I agree.. and most of the times, the shoes are comfy when you try them on at the store, but once you buy them and give them a real brisk walk (or even chilling around, 20 minutes max and you've got a party of blisters going on :|

lala
Please do!! I'd LOVE to see them :)

yara
They actually were at the store. I'm not sure if they are when used daily :)

I'm sure high-end designers feel the same way you do :)

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...

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare.  This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
