Fall In Villa Moda

If the Birkin bag came in a cheaper version, it would pretty much look like this Prada black leather tote. That's the first thing I noticed at Villa Moda Shuwaikh when I went there to check out their new Fall/Winter 2009 arrivals. The bag actually looks much better in real life and it's affordable in price considering it's a Prada leather day bag which you can easily fit your laptop in. Price tag? Around KD 470.

More Fall Prada bags in maroonish leather. They were ok.

Prada's prom-like cocktail pouffy dress has a nice neckline but overall? the dress is a bit on the blah side. OK, I'm starting to get disappointed now!

I had mixed feelings about Miu Miu's Fall collection


Not super crazy about the red bag and the red clutch shown here, but if you're a Miu Miu fanatic, you might like them

More from Miu Miu's Fall bags collection. I'm not jumping for joy over these either



Miu Miu's clothes were far more exciting than the bag's selection. I liked this beautiful silk green sleeveless top with soft ruffle details on the side. It would add just the right amount of color to winter's greys and blacks

This top also looked kind of cute with it's ruffle details on sleeves and neckline.. I'll keep on searching though..



This grey wool dress with structured pleats was probably the nicest item from collection on display but it was a size bigger than my size and it looked unflattering on me.. so I'll pass.

hmm well for ur laptop or not, I wasn't too crazy about those Prada bags which really disappointed me as well! In all fairness they are OK but thats the thing they seem so average even for an attempt at a Berkin look alike!
But the clothes were dreamy, the purples and greens i fell in loooove :)

MY fave bag for a laptop would have to be the LV Passy GM or Bagatelle GM.. timeless and classic!

In all honestly...

While people may have mixed feelings and to from season to season, but Miuccia Prada never disappoints.

She's a practical fashion artist/designer.

The Coco Chanel of our time no doubt.

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...
