Downtown Cool with Alexa


The much anticipated Mulberry Alexa bag, named after UK presenter-turned-style-icon Alexa Chung, debuted at the brand's boutique in the Avenues Phase II.  And of course the Oak and tan leather versions are already sold out.

I normally avoid "designed-by-celebs" accessories as they tend to lack the quality and creativity I look for in a bag, but this one actually appealed to me. Its preppy, worn-in, vintagey, and slouchy style makes it a great every-dayer.  And the price tag is reasonable for a designer bag.  The bag can be worn across the body or carried by the handle. And I liked the fact that the buckle straps are attached by fuss-free magnetic press-stud fastening, which make it easy to access the stuff inside your bag.

What's available now at Mulberry Boutique are the Alexa bag in peony pink shiny leopard print leather (featured here) and in oak shiny leopard print leather.  But I still prefer the plain leather, It looks more refined.

I agree with you, I prefer the more neutral colors on a Mulberry bag. I like the idea of something bright for the summer time to brighten up your outfits but just the structure of the Mulberry bag doesn't lend itself to too much funkiness a7is it clashes fa sayer shakilha cheap shway.

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...
