Confashion at Paris Fashion Week!


Never have I thought, not in a million years, that I would actually say this but I went to Paris Fashion Week!!! It started from late February till first week of March. I was given this golden opportunity by a good friend of mine, who I'll forever be grateful to (THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for making my dream come true!), to join them on their frequent trip to Paris Fashion Week and help with the season's selections. Trust me, there is no experience like being at Paris Fashion Week. Mingling with fashion icons, spotting celebrities in their designer duds (Anna Wintour, Ashley Olsen, Mischa Barton, and Princess Dina of D.NA to name a few), getting to see next Fall's collections up close and personal, and having dinners with famous designers, buyers, and editors. It was so surreal and overwhelming!

It was interesting to see fabulous looking fashionistas trotting around Paris in painfully high shoe booties and platforms, elaborate funky headbands, formfitting minidresses, and huge Birkins, Chanels, and Balenciagas filled with line sheets and lookbooks, and that's during the day only. I was also fascinated by how luxurious and beautiful the biggest suits at hotels such as the Ritz, Plaza Athénée, and Park Hyatt Vendome as this is where the biggest names in fashion business show their fall collection for fashion buyers around the world (by appointment only).

Unfortunately, I cannot go into details as this will result in exposing identities. But I'll share with you some info and photos of my trip in my next posts.

P.S.: I'm probably the only fashion blogger to write a post about Paris Fashion Week THAT late! Well, better late than never ;)

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...
