What's New at the Avenue?


New to me at least! I'm not sure when these boutiques opened in the Avenues Phase II, could be 2 months ago, but I thought of sharing them here anyways.  Let's start with DIVA boutique, a visit to DIVA is like hanging out in one of LA's most casual chic boutiques.  DIVA carries great feminine and practical lines such as joie, Rebecca Taylor, and the famous bloch banana flats in pop colors like yellow and green.  What I loved about the boutique is that the lines they carry have certain mix of qualities we kind of miss in the Kuwaiti market: wearability, quality of fabric/tailoring, and most of all price-friendly.  Below are some of the cute things they have in-store.






And a few steps away from DIVA, there is this new boutique called Lie Sang Bong Paris. If you're a fan of dresses with quirky architectural silhouette, then this store might appeal to you.  I picked two of my best finds in this season's "it" color palette, nude and blush pink, shown below.  





And last but not least, La Mode Zone is another multi-brand boutique which carries day and evening wear. One brand that caught my interest which they carried was by German designer  Bernhard Willhelm, there were beautifully tailored and colorful pieces perfect for our long summer days and nights. Also, I spotted the below dress by Ana Sekularac which looked very familiar. AHA! Leona Lewis was wearing the exact same dress but in white for her Marie Claire UK photo shoot.  Not crazy about this piece, Bernhard Willhelm definitely rocked the store they also had some really nice colorful flats and gladiators.

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...

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare.  This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
