To Chanel or not to Chanel

A range of handbags made their way to the Chanel boutique located at Salhiya Complex and will soon be seen toted around K-town by many hardcore Chanel fans. For those of you who love the classic timeless flap bag but are looking for something modern with a twist, then the puzzle patent leather bag (as shown above) would be on top of their "I Want" list. Or for a settled look, maybe they'd go for the perforated metallic flap bag. There was also a selection of the most coveted Chanel: 2.55 in metallic silver and gold and their prices start at KD 700+.

My least favourite is the one shown in the last picture. They only have it in black though. I guess the bag strap just makes it look a bit on the tacky side for some reason. There were also a couple of classic and very practical Chanel ballerina flats in metallic gold and dark silver made out of snake skin. Prefect for those who are looking for investing in timeless and comfortable key pieces.




Which Chanel bag would you go for and how much are you willing to pay for a Chanel bag?

I have never bought a Chanel bag, they are WAY over my student budget. I hated them when they had their sale :( a week after the sale I saw a girl with a small chanel bag and wondered if she got it in the sale.

Thanks ever so much for an apt and most timely entry. With the nation going to the polls on May 17 we are seeing the beginnings of a Battle Royale, going in to the polling stations - Hermes Birkin v.
Chanel Classique. Also Will Laura Mercier trump Elizabeth Arden and MAC on D-day in K-Town in May?

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...

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.

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?
