I need a Cocktail.... Dress

Aren't you tired of that little black dress? I am! So I've decided to do a my homework and now I'm on the lookout for a daring and unique cocktail dress to complement my new sky-high heels and fake-tan. My first shopping destination was AlOthman.


I came across this stunning Proenza Schouler navy one shoulder dress, ruched from the front and adorned with one of spring/summer's most surprising trends.. Feathers! I'm not a huge fan of feathers but the way it is used on this dress makes it unbelievably chic and unique. The dress is retailed for KD 749.





My second option was this red hot Malandrino cocktail dress fir for a true fashion princess. Pair this Silk Chiffon Pleated red dress with gold accessories and cascading waves for a fresh evening twist. The price tag of the dress? KD 629.




OK, to me, this dress would not be an option for a cocktail dress, but I fell in love with it because it's sooo colorful and fun. It's nice for dressy formal occasions. The loose & bubbly shape of this Malandrino dress makes it easy to wear by skinny and curvaceous women. You can add a patent skinny belt if you want some definition. Finish the look with a peep-toe boots and you're ready to go. The dress is priced at KD 629.

Alothman is located at Mariam Complex, Salem AlMubarak St, Salmiya. For inquires, please call (+965) 575-4954.

Wow what a ripoff! Did they just drop the dollar sign and switch to KD? Seriously you can get even more stunning Malandrino dresses online for like half the price of those (which is closer to their ACTUAL retail price) :)

anonymous, I have a feeling you are confusing Catherine Malandrino with Malandrino.
Please tell us which web sites we can buy Malandrino and not the second line Catherine Malandrino

I was talking about the Catherine Malandrino line.. Sorry I didn't know there was a different Malandrino line. Well, in any case, I don't know where you can get Malandrino online. But Catherine Malandrino can be found on practically all the well-known luxury shopping sites.. I know net-a-porter.com has them for sure. Other sites that may have them are Nordstrom and Neimann Marcus.

Dear Anonymous, thank you for the info but I already knew that but I was trying to point it out to you.
Malandrino is the first line and is a much higher price point and I don't believe it is sold online.
So you see there is no rip off, they are 2 different lines.
I felt that I should make that clear.
Thank you
AlOthman

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.
