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 :)

And i forgot how much the Givenchy leather jacket retailed for, sorry :\ And I don't think they stock clothes at the Givenchy Boutique in salhiya

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

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...

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?

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...
