Max Azria Boutique Now Open in Kuwait

Max Azria's first freestanding boutique in Kuwait is now open at Arraya Complex. I was thrilled when I first heard about it, but all the excitement quickly gone away the moment I stepped into the store. MAJOR disappointment. I was hoping to find unconventional, stylish, and one of a kind pieces that I used to see abroad. The selection looked a bit outdated and too... blah!

The store had a selection of flowy chiffon and silk dresses, curve-hugging cardigans, and wide pyjama-like pants. The only thing at the store that was slightly satisfying was the small selection of shoes and handbags/clutches. They had an oversized pink salmon clutch which looked really cute. And I liked one pair of navy snake-skin heels trimmed with cobalt blue leather. But the price tag turned me off especially that they're not known to be shoe makers. It was retailed at KD 305. Check it out just to satisfy your curiosity, but don't expect too much.

Max Azria boutique is located at Arraya Complex (ground floor) in between Genki Sushi and Whistles.

oOooOOoooOOoooOoohhh am still going =) was telling some folks today how much I wanted to take a looksie... the reason many stores suck is that buyers lack market knowledge, in addition to zero taste. God bless online shopping & Al-Othman.

yeah i totally agree.Their merchandise buyers are not studying the market or their demographics. I'm a merchandise major and what they bring to their stores are not what their customers want.aAghhh it drives me nuts i wanna go to the stores and tell them what to do right!

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?
