And the Award Goes To...

So you all have probably seen the red carpet arrivals for 2008 Prime time Emmy Awards. The gowns selection were rather disappointing. However I did like Mariska Hargitay yellow Grecian style asymmetrical Carolina Herrera gown and Olivia Wilde's romantic silk chiffon Reem Acra gown.

Who was your favourite?

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey
What about that fabulous Oscar dela Renta number on Sandra Ho.

And America Ferrera looked nice as well. Not sure if it was because of Werle outfit or because it's just nice to see her out of the Ugly Betty uniform...
(AZMVM misses Ugly Betty terribly!!!)

The reem Acra one was of Spring 2008 and I was surprised to see it on the red carpet, I thought it was too old. I called Othman today and asked them about thier oldest collection and they said that number was sold out. The current collection at al othman is so and so...but I've always liked the older ones, and I keep wondering if they keep them in thier stock or send them back or if its available else where? You know what, while we're at it, anyone remember the Naeem Khan yellow one shoulder indie style gown? It was to die for. seriously, its old season, but if someone is selling now I would buy it full price.

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?
