To Chinchin or Not to Chinchin

I know a lot of fashionistas stand against the fur industry and support PETA's anti-fur campaigns. So if you're one of them, I suggest you skip reading this post. If you're not and money is not an object, then you might want to check out the softest and fluffiest fur coat I have seen in Kuwait so far at Fendi Boutique in Salhiya Complex. The chinchilla short coat comes with a pricey tag of around KD 10,000.

I am an animal lover and although I would never go anywhere near fur for the missus(partly because of the price tag) I would never begrudge anyone their choice to wear fur if that's what makes them happy. Same goes with leather - I am madly in love with leather jackets. I even have a decent collection of genuine leather jackets at home and I will not tolerate some God's gift to earth telling me off on what not to wear.
Trouble is, in today's world tough liberals are proving every bit, as much pain in the unmentionables, as their conservative and hardliner bedfellows are.

The sheer timing of this post is brilliant! I know of many society women in Kuwait who are looking for that something special to wear to an evening of Opera at the Movenpick resort, Bida'a on Nov 4th. You have given them perfect arsenal in the chinchilla.
Getting all these high net worth fashionistas in Q8 eating out of your hands is now become child's play for you, Connie. How do you time and again manage doing that?
Chinchilla gives you the chillblains? said…
Is it okay to be seen wearing a chinchilla when out shopping at Dean & DeLuca's or even while you are Pinkberrying?
On a slightly different note, I find it bit of a travesty investing $10,000 on a $60 evening of opera. Better that they brought the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden to Kuwait; bricks and mortar.

Are Fendi also getting into the business of custom designing fur bishts for the local market ?

Absolutely adore that chinchilla! However,what's stopping me from buying it is my husband who is rather a furry man, you see. Who needs a chinchilla anyway when you have the real thing in bed with you?!

Whew! my friend's worried sick the KD10k chinchillas might be sold out before she packs it in for the day and hurries off to Salhiya. Is there a way we can hold them for her?

By the way, I am told by my palatibility appraiser that enchilladas go rather well with chinchillas.

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...
