Acid Do Or Acid Don't

When I first saw the acid, washed out, faded jeans sneakily cropping up the fashion runway I freaked out. The least flattering type of jeans ever invented (and the cruelest to your...derrier excuse moi) is what’s in now! Yikes!

I cringed again when I saw them at TopShop the other day but I took a deep breath, picked my size, and tried them on. And to my surprise, they didn’t look as bad as I imagined. Actually, when I paired them with a fitted blazer and strappy heels, they looked quite decent.. Slightly Balmain-ish if I attach shoulder pads to the blazer jacket, but no I didn’t buy them because I’m convinced that this is just another short lived trend.

Anyways, if you choose to pull off this trend, for the love of god, don’t do the big hair, hot pink lipstick, and a matching washed out denim jacket combo! That would be an acid overkill.

never say never! and hey, isn't every trend short-lived anyway? i was born in the 80's i.e. never wore those things BUT i think that they make look neat with a spot on ensemble. and like some trends, i think this one suits the svelte crowd.

Love the 80's very very much.
But acid washed jeans, I don't.

The reason people were into the Balmais pair was because of the beautifull jacket. I believe people were into "the look" rather than the acid jeans themselves.

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?
