If I could buy one thing from Net-A-Porter today...

It would be this gorgeous Opéra silk crepe dress by RM by Ronald Mouret. This is what I would call the new and simple power dressing with its constructed pleating and shaped drapes. I would add a bulky studded cuff and a patent shoe-boot to give the look a strong statement. And maybe colored opaque tights when it's chilly outside. Me like. Price tag? Around KD 776.

NOoooOOOOoooooooo!!
RM is so overrated now. It is everywhere and worse even. There is even tons of choice in the SALE!! can you believe it!
They must have totally overestimated themselves, his cuts may be pretty but they so lost the appeal :(

Ronald it known for his fierce cutting, therefore under accessorizing is a must to achieve balance and coordination. Now nobody loves studs 'n' spikes more than this gal but it would overshadow the main object of attention.

Anon, I strongly feel like each individual merits his/ her own thoughts, but RM is making editors go all soft and coey – it isn't everywhere and only those with a specific eye can appreciate his cuts and choices of fabric, am guessing you are dissing bad boy Lee as well.

RM is definitely for those who appreciate but the question is: how much of RM can one appreciate? His individual work is beautiful but I am quite concerned about quantities here. So far anyone who stocks it has had a generous selection. So much so that it made me feel it is not THAT special for that price range. To each their own. However, I do prefer Roland to Lee but prefer Lee's variety...not that I would compare them in the first place.
Oh, and don't editors get goodies?? Old story, old story :)

I think RM dresses are very elegant and sharp, the one on Net-A-Porter is perfect for Fall.

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?
