Serenity Sale


You know what I love about Villa Moda’s sale this year? The no crowds’ sale. I just HATE queuing at the cashier and seeing all those picked-over clothes and shoes scattered all around, it’s just revolting to me.  So imagine my delight waking into a huuuuge multi-brand designer store in semi-permanent quiet sales mode.

And I have to say, although Villa Moda received very limited collection of S/S2010 brands this year, with the absence or major ones like Prada, Miu Miu, Bottega, YSL, Gucci, Marni, and Dolce & Gabbana, I will say that it’s certainly worth popping in to check out the designer bargains of previous seasons, especially if you’re looking for some stuff to smoothly take you to Fall in style.

I was pleasantly surprised at the range and discounts available, some items were neatly displayed in the designer’s boutique and most previous seasons’ items were at the VM warehouse on the 1st floor, which requires time, patience, and sharp eyes to find fab designer bargains. And because of the long lines of squeezed hanged clothes, there will be a whole lot of rummaging and scanning to do.  So don’t think you’ll just grab and item and go in 10 mins flat. So here are some of my favorite picks.  Le’s start with the accessories...


Fur decorated a lot of Fall's 2010 heels like Valentino, Louboutin, and Wang, so why not rock the trend for less with Prada's Fall 2009 fur covered heels?  


Loved these exotic leather Prada sandals with cute leather bows from the brand's S/S 2009 collection


Miu Miu lace-up peep-toe heels from the brand's A/W 2009 collection

Miu Miu's famous embellished ballerinas are also from the brand's A/W 2009 collection


I'm in love with golden embellishment of this Dries Van Noten off-white leather clutch which can also turn into a chain shoulder bag. Price after disount was around KD 70

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...
