London's Calling


Ahh.. London… the city of fog, fashion, food, and everything fabulous. I spent a lovely time there, the weather was perfect and the timing was just right. I LOVE YOU LONDON. So let’s share the love starting with this post.

There's a certain amount of glamour and allure surrounding any big department stores’ window displays here in London, and this one by Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge does not disappoint and is actually one of my two favorite window displays this season. I’m in an absolute awe of Harvey Nichol’s remarkable scheme.  This is no ordinary design work, the colorful craftsmanship, the way mannequins are styled, the idea of having gigantic swirled pipes adorned with ribbons, huge multicolored sequins, and other raw material is just beyond beautiful.  I wonder how much it cost to create this kind of artwork on window displays that change every month or so..

I’m going to cut my post short here because I have a lot of things to share with you in the coming days about London as seen through the eyes of a very shopaholic fashionatic confashionista, so stay tuned and enjoy the photos.

This post just made me wonder... have you ever been to Tokyo? It's also one of the best places for shopping. Whenever people complement on my outfit, I am wearing something I got from Japan. It worths adding to your fashion destination ;)

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.
