Madison Mavens

Women walking down Madison Avenue have certain traits. They looked super dressed and their manes were well coiffured. Not a single hair out of place. And as is the case in almost every shopping-obsessed culture, they were dressed for their other fellow Madison mavens and mean sales assistants. I actually enjoyed people watching on Madison. Made me want to bring the Sartorialist in me. Anyhow, I started the day with Barneys.

As always, the first thing I do whenever I visit this luxury retailer is admire the display and theme. It never disappoints me. Very simple yet very creative. The words are drawn in a way that make the lines look connected to one point and attached to the mannequin.
Camping in Barneys

Walking the dogs

After a couple of hours of shopping in Barneys, lunch at Fred's at Barney's is a must to fuel up for the Madison Ave. journey. I'm craving the fresh pasta with truffle oil now.

Back to Madison Avenue, the first boutique I noticed was Hermes. So Kelly is my latest obsession.

And just across the street to Hermes Boutique was another Hermes Boutique under construction (amazing purchasing power) covered in its famous orange box. I just love how boutiques and stores are covered in the states and Europe when they're under construction. Look how striking the color is used for Devi Kroell's coming-soon-boutique.

I still have more to share...

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...
