Still Strong?


Structured shoulders hit the runways the past two seasons in all shapes and forms. And of course that’s no news to you. But now that the sale’s all over K-town, would you still scout for  this trend or are you over and done with the strong shoulders?

I spotted this Paule Ka purplish dress with a cute side bow. The shoulders details were mix of sharper/softer structure with more compact to them. I actually liked the fitting AND it was on sale. I think the price tag after sale was around KD 200. I found another dress with the same shoulder effect but it was kind of shapeless; maybe it would look more flattering paired with a thick multi-buckle belt. 
 
 
 
 

Paule Ka boutique is located at the Avenues Phase II, close to the English Tea Room.

never liked the should pads trend and never was on board that wagon, didn't like it when I was a kid and I still don't so I totally and firmly pass on that 'cause I know for a fact if I got anything with shoulder pads I'd still cut them out

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...
