Bring Back Miss Selfridge?


Back in the day when I was a teenager, I used to frequent Miss Selfridge a lot to get my fashion fix (ah, how I miss those days, RIP) so when I walked by the store in the Avenues, I was dead set on exploring it especially that I haven’t shopped at Miss Selfridge for quite sometime due to it’s terrible quality of clothing. So has it changes? Slightlyyy, still I’ve found a lot of cheap quality items, HOWEVER, I did find this shrunken jacket with mixed floral prints. What I like about it is that it has a vintage feel to it AND it was well tailored! I liked this piece a lot, can be paired with whimsy floral dresses or a pair of high-waist harem pants.  Maybe it’s time to add Miss Selfridge back to my list? Maybe they are now trying to step up in order to catch up with the likes of Zara and Topshop? No? Wishful thinking…

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...
