Fashion IQ


Shoes? Check. Bags? Check. Clothes? Well, I was slightly disappointed because even though Harvey Nichols Dubai has a huuuge selection of the world’s most coveted brands in fashion, most of the items I wanted were either sold out or not in my size. Nevertheless, I did find some things that I liked. Like this stunning studded leather jacket by Givenchy, which would look edgy-chic with Balenciaga’s cute cocktail dress featured below. And look what I’ve found, Mary-Kate Olsen’s emerald green embroidered jacket by Dries Van Noten, which did not look that impressive up close and personal and it certainly was overpriced, there are for more stunning pieces by Dries Van Noten which I’d rather splurge on. Moving on, I liked this fun See by Chloé sunglass print t-shirt, and let’s test your fashion IQ, can you recognize the designer behind the embellished piece shown in the last photo?

WOW! We have all done our homework pretty well this season ;) I like that! I think I'm going to start posting "Fashion IQ" posts more often. That was fun :)

Hey Confashions! Do you by any chance remember how much the Dries jacket retailed for? I'm in love with it, and I've been lusting over it ever since I saw a pic of MK rocking it. Do you think I might find it at Villa Moda? I hope it's not ridiculously overpriced, but I'm sure this exquisite piece is worth it. Thanks

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.

Chanel Bags on Discount?!

If you thought that getting a cheap Chanel bag that's within your budget is something too far fetched, then think again. You'll be surprised to know that Chanel's boutique located at Salhiya Complex is currently selling several bags, that are a maximum 1 or 2 seasons old, on discount . And we're not talking about a 2 or 5% discount here, these bags are 50% off their original price! For some reason I always thought that Chanel bags never go on sale. But I guess the printed ones or the ones that are made out of the collection's main fabric have to go on sale. Anyways, I managed to take photos of these 2 beauties. What I love about those bags is that they're a classic shape that never goes out of style, their print is young and refreshing, plus they're quilted. I think they could be a collector's item. Both bags featured here are sold for approximately KD 250 .
