And a little Bit of Window Shopping



Going back to my little window shopping excursions in London.. I have found some fab things worth featuring. Let’s start with Chanel. First,   I hate Chanel’s Coco Cocoon bags. I don’t get what the fuss is all about. Nevertheless, I still found the window display cool enough to feature here.  





“French/London Sole-ers” stay away from these Versace’s funky platform heels. They require skills and poise that only high heel pros can master after yeeears of practice.



Sigh.. Prada's Summer collection.. What’s not to love… We miss you here in Kuwait!


I feel that this gorgeous and elegantly crafted Bottega Veneta’s crocodile tote a true fashion classic with its shape and practical color. Loves it.



Luella had the saddest window display I have ever seen! It had “Last Chance to say Goodby” displayed on the window. So sad! I always liked Luella. Remember how popular the Gisele bag was?! I still have mine. Stored neatly in one of my “To-be-Vintage” plastic boxes. 


Browns Boutique were celebrating their 40th year anniversary so it was a treat to view and buy some pieces of their 40th Anniversary “Future Collectibles” Collection. 


And I had to pass by Browns’s Labels for Less for some bargain hunting. Unfortunately, It wasn’t a successful one.

The brand was sadly forced out of business due to liquidity issues during the recession days and one of its main investors backed out. You can read all about it here: http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/fashion/article-23769153-how-luella-bartley-fell-from-planet-fashion.do

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...
