Down The Avenue

Nope, I’m not referring to the biggest Mall in Kuwait, Avenue Collection is one of Bahrain’s fashion mazes offering the chicest of the chic clothes and accessories. Located at Al Alai Mall, Avenue Collection is a place where you can let your eyes and fingers skim through the various everyday collection with glee, swinging from one beautifully stacked rack to the other.

Since their opening in 2001, Avenue’s direction has moved away from the mainstream by carrying lines from emerging, and independent designers worldwide and smaller fashion-forward labels. A lot of the lines they carry are UK based and who have started out in Camden Market or Portobello. Avenue Collection has a trove of choices that cater to your “fashion-ating” needs

Their stock ranges from bags and accessories to denim and dresses. Mina UK, one of the lines they carry, are so easy to pick up with their reasonable price points, and then you have Sophie Hulme a recent Kingston College graduate who started her own line last season and was immediately picked up by Selfridges in London and many high end boutiques worldwide.

They also carry the famous Jennifer Behr Hair accessories, and more styles from American label Single LA. They have recently added a new UK based label to their collection called People's Market which was created in 2002 by designer Dexter Wong. Their line is composed of youthful easy styles with playful prints and appliqués for everyday living. People's Market is also carried in Selfridges London and House of Fraser.

They will be offering 10% discount on sale and non-sale items to Confashions From Kuwait readers upon mentioning "Confashions". Offer is valid until 15th of May.

Chanel Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection

I can't remember if I shared my views about Chanel's Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection on my blog or not, but I thought I'd share with you some photos of the pieces on display now at Chanel Boutique in Kuwait, Prestige in the Avenues and Salhiya Complex. I wasn't too crazy about the clothes. However, I did like some of the bags which had pompoms and tassels on them, as well as the gigantic pearl clutch. I also loved the Moroccan-inspired pointy flats and the silver jewelry adorned with coins and crescents. Of course the shoes were sold out in my size and I wasn't so crazy about the patterned ones. I LOVED the flap bag with Pom Poms, but it was above my budget. Overall the collection felt more Moroccan than Dubai-an. I wish if they have incorporate more of the our gulf region's culture into the designs. Oh And I added to this post photos of Chanel's milk carton shaped python clutch bag embellished with a CC signature. They're not part of the Dubai colle

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?

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.
