To Cacharel or Not to Cacharel

I love the Parisian chic look of Cacharel. Most of the pieces which I bought from Cacharal ever since it opened in Kuwait are items that I still wear to this day for casual outings. However, the past 2 seasons were slightly disappointing with the exception of very few pieces.

A few days ago, Cacharel Boutique at Arraya Complex received a few selection of it's Fall collection. The collection was...ok, which really translates to "slightly disappointing". They had soft printed blouses & dresses with ruffle details, velvet sleeveless dresses, and knitted tops and dresses in earthy tones and greys. Nice.. but not breathtaking. I'm hoping their next Fall arrivals would rock the boutique just like it did a few seasons ago.

I agree with 2 points.. first, cacharel pieces especially the ones a sensible fashionista should get are the ones that are classic yet fashionable and are there to stay in ur wardrobe for several years! second, the past year and a half has been a disappointment.
I think that u may have better luck in thuraya mall than alraya, the collection there seems more abundant and mostly new whereas alraya's collection is half new half old..

For some reason, I always thought that arraya has a better collection.

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...
