Smoky Style


The next show that M.A.C worked on backstage at Pearl’s Delhi Couture Week was for Indian designer Rohit Bal and this time, M.A.C Director of Makeup Artists Mickey Contractor created a smoky and edgy look for Rohit Bal’s fashion show. Make-up artists in Kuwait please take note; this is the kind of smoky look I want to achieve, soft and subtle smoky look. Why do you always get it wrong?! I remember once an “artist” made her “black” magic on me and when I went back home, I was so unrecognizable that the housekeeper wouldn’t let me in! When the smoky look is done wrong it looks scary. So next time you have a make-up appointment, print out MAC’s face sheet where the artists can get tips on all the key products and how to use them.

I love dramatic eyes and a nude lip! Though I don't do it often, I usually go dramatic only in weddings since I think its a bit much for a day to day look. But its usually a hit or miss with my luck :s besides not everyone can do a natural sultry look. It is abused here in the gulf I think. :p
As an example for the perfect smokey eye! Look up Keira Knightly! <3

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in  Miu Miu   Boutiques throughout our region.

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?
