Autumn in New York

OK, I have so many things to share with you that I don't even know from where to begin! I stayed at the most stylish and tallest boutique hotel in the heart of Manhattan, The London NYC. The service was impeccable and you don't need to worry about bookings of any kind because with their internationally renowned concierge department, Quintessentially, you'll have access to any venue you wish to go to. And what appealed to me the most is the fact that it has the first Gordon Ramsay restaurant in the states (YUM!). I took some photos of the room, but they don't do the place justice. So click here for their official website photos.

After a long flight from London to the other London (NYC), a fashionista needs a "blissful" experience to unwind and re-energize for loooong shopping sprees ahead.

For a change of view and to try out new places, I had breakfast a couple of times at "Cafe Metro" which is located just around the corner from the hotel. They serve fresh and healthy food.

Times Square is so overrated. It's not my first time to be there . but since I was in NYC, might as well check out the latest animated neon ads and television-style signage in this area. I stayed there for a maximum of 10 minutes and fled.

Lemon-aid
They had really good organic soups (yum!). The problem with NY restaurants, they're either a hit or a miss. So I'll def try AVRA next time I'm there :)

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...

My Birkin... My Pride & Joy

Birkin ... Birkin .. Birkin ... you mesmerize me.. I'm so addicted to yoooooou . sitting galmorously in my closet is my hard earned blue Hermes Birkin Bag. To own it is like the ultimate fashionista dream. I look at it lovingly and think to myself " daaaamn ! you are one hell of a lucky girl! I shall protect you from the evil eye 'till the day I die ". My friend asked me once why am I so obsessed with my Birkin . I can list 100 reasons why. But just to be short & sweet, it's exclusive, expensive ( I saw a Birkin in vogue with diamonds on it's hardware. How much do you think it costs? ), it's hand crafted , it takes 2 whole weeks of dedication to produce one, and it's THE bag everyone in the fashion world admires. During a recent visit to The Comfort Shoe at Mariam Complex , I came across a Birkin look alike ( shown in the pictures above ). I have to admit, from afar the bag actually looked good. So I went in to check it out. And THANK GO...
