Fatal Attraction

To put a chic spin to your jewelry collection (or your mom’s!), you HAVE to check out Octium. Octium is a new concept jewelry shop in Kuwait which opened its doors in October 2009 at 360º mall. When I first visited Octium it felt more like stepping inside a fancy boutique hotel lobby rather than a jewelry store. And ever since I’ve been there I wanted to feature it on my blog but didn’t get around it. And now thanks to Boutique 4, we can all admire the innovative interior of Octium exquisitely designed by Spanish artist-designer Jaime Hayon from the comfort of our couches. Nevertheless, the place is a MUST-visit!

Octium has truly redefined the concept of luxury jewelry in Kuwait. It presents the work of various exclusive jewelry designers from UK, USA, and the Far East such as: Shaun Leane, Ivanka Trump, Hanna Martin, and Pipa Small. Some pieces reminded me of my Delfina Delettrez’s experience. The pieces in store are: iconic, unique, breathtakingly glamorous, to-die-for, and to splurge on. The place to send your loved ones to to buy you a gift *devilish smirk*.

Disclaimer: Confashion has learned the hard way that being a shopaholic and visiting Octium can be a fatal combo. Therefore, is not responsible for any financial damages triggered from shopping at Octium. Thank you.

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in Miu Miu Boutiques throughout our region.

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.
