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 The selection looked a bit outdated and too...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!

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...
