It's Party Time

OK, so the unthinkable has happened, there’s a wedding that I just found out that I’m invited to and I have nothing to wear (Okaaayy, I do have a couple of dresses but after seeing the mind blowing pieces on s/s runways I’m yearning for something new, and with this statement I can just see my mom rolling her eyes with a disapproved look on her face (I love you too mom). Of course it’s only natural that my first destination would be Al Othman. So let’s see, what options do we have here? OK, Focus… ONE DRESS only. Hmm.. One dress?!?! Seriously?! With such statement making pieces, it is highly unlikely to leave the shop with one dress!!! Sorry for the bad quality pics, look them up on Style.com for better quality. Let's start, I'm in love with this Behnaz Sarafpour's white lace sleeveless dress decorated with strips of yellow ribbons.

Roksanda Ilincic's dress is beautifully decorated with square shaped sequins in different sizes only on the front side. The back is covered with black fabric.

Look how amazing are the sleeves of Matthew Williamson’s. They’re quite heavy but they’ll definitely make a statement. It comes in pink too.

Marios Schwab pleated pink and leopard print organza and silk dress is gorgeous and the fit is so flatteringly feminine. I LOVE it.
There are more pieces that are just as fabulous from Oscar, Peter Pilotto, Erin Fetherston, and more.  So worth checking.

Al Othman is a multi-brand boutique located at Mariam Complex in Salmiya. In the same complex there is Al Othman's outlet stores and they also have a bridal boutique in Bahrain.

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...
