Jump To The Suit


Would you dare to wear a jumpsuit? Since it's a one-piece, a lot of fashionistas think that the jumpsuit is one of the most difficult items to pull off. But contrary to what you may believe, the jumpsuit (with a little bit confidence) CAN be a surprisingly easy piece to wear. It only needs to be styled in a certain way that won't make you look like a studio 54 queen nor like a prison inmate.

I found this jumpsuit at TopShop and I loved it instantly! It has the right fit and color. Pair it with patent colored high-heels, chunky colored necklace or layers of Gold chains a-la-Chivenchy-style, and wear your hair in a high-sleek pony tail or let it down in loose waves. Whatever you do, don't wear it with your converse sneakers. You don't want to look like an extra in Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl" video clip.

lol Uptown Girl

Not particularly in love with jumpsuits, although your styling tips could actually convince me to it! Honestly, I think its a very fine line between looking stylish and stupid with this one.

...Maybe, maybe on vacation

I have always darned wearing jumpsuits, since my body does not really fit into one with a perfect shape. However I saw this one in Topshop last week and I fell in love with it because it’s actually loose. I may go and purchase it, but as you have already stated I have to have confidence and I do lack confidence!!

I would wear it, But I would never spend So much money on a good jumpsuit like Stella McCartney. But some fashionistas are saying that jumpsuits are staying to late next year.
Personally I will wear it for the fun of it once or twice and the Topshop jumpsuit is a bargain, thank you!

the short ones are the most flattering with gladiator flats or even wedges. the long jumpsuits are tricky especially on me because im not so tall so they can be overbearing especially in the thick denim Topshop makes them in.

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.
