Thigh's The Limit

Thigh-high boots are all the rage for this season. And now they're slowly popping up in Kuwait's stores. If you're looking for a flat version (my fave so far in the Kuwaiti market), check out the suede fitted version at Jimmy Choo at Salhiya Complex. If my memory serves me right, I think they were around KD 400.


For a high-heeled and loose fitting version, check out Massimo Dutti at Marina or the Avenues. Price tag? Not more than KD 80.

All during summer, I was dreading winter because I knew about the thigh-high boots trend. I believe they should come with a warning. Anything with too high a heel might make a girl resemble a street walker. Whereas the flat ones give the illusion of detracting from a girl's height. Even the celebs had trouble pulling them off successfully.

Keep up the good work :)

I knooow. With the thigh-high boots trend, there is a very very thin line between trendy and super tacky. I guess the flat versions suit taller girls more. And in Kuwait i think we have to be careful of "where" and "When" to rock this trend.

The safest way to pull off this trend in my opinion is to pair them with a pair of dark thick leggings (no dress plz on top!!) and a baggy (or fitted) button-down shirt. And pile on on the accessories everywhere: necklaces, cuffs, bracelets.. etc. Or you can pair it with a no-so-mini dress for formal outings making sure that the dress does not bear too much skin.

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...

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.
