Treat Your CCAD Syndrome

Sometimes, a fashionista goes through a "CCAD" syndrome. "CCAD" stands for Casual Chic Attire Disorder. This is a serious fashion condition which I'm sure many of you have suffered from. No matter what you do, you just can't seem to find the right stylish thing to wear for going out with the girls on a Saturday brunch.

I once pretended that I'm Patricia Field on a fashion mission to dress up Carrie for her Sunday brunch at the meatpacking district (Carrie would be me in this example as well. Sick I know!!). Little did I know that not anyone can mix and match "a la Patricia Field's style". And certainly, not everyone can pull off Carrie's style. Looking casual chic can be hard and challenging. It's achievable, but requires some work.

Lucky me, I found some fabulous M Missoni casual chic pieces at the brand's boutique at Arraya Complex for the low-maintenance fashionista in you.


I instantly fell in love with this modern semi-capelet with a vintage feel. The lining of the capelet adds a splash of color to the beige wool front. It comes with a fitted top made from the same material/print of the lining. But I wouldn't go for it. Pair it with high-waist jeans and a fitted high-neck top with a self-tie forest green or purplish scarf to keep your neck warm. Finish the look with an over-sized clutch. Capelet is priced at KD 187.



This top is more suitable for curvaceous women who want to look comfortable and chic. I liked the mix of two different prints. The supercute silk top can easily work with almost all your winter outfits. For casual outings, pair the hippie-chic top with slim-cut jeans and a long cardigan in a neutral color. Put on your patent leather platforms or flats and you're good to go. For formal occasions, wear it with a midi-skirt, a structured doctor's bag, and tuck it in to give some definition to your look. The top is sold for KD 182.



Once you try this cozy chunky shawl/poncho on, you wouldn't want to take it off. It's very easy to wear and an investment piece which will be worn every winter season. Pair it with skinny jeans and flat patent leather boots or ankle boots, a huge hobo bag, and you're all set. The poncho is sold for KD 328.


M Missoni boutique is located at Arraya Complex. Call them on (+965) 2997728 for any inquires.

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in  Miu Miu   Boutiques throughout our region.

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.
