Color Me Beautiful


So the LBD is not your thing? How about you add a splash of colors to your evening look?  I have spotted some really beautiful pieces in the most mouthwatering shades to light up any party. Let's start with this Matthew Williamson Grecian style evening gown available at Al Othman. I love the embellished detail shown below. Simply stack a bunch of golden hand bracelets/cufs equally on both arms to master the Grecian-chic look.



OK this dress is one of those things you need to try on before you judge. It looked so boring on the hanger but it's actually very cute and fun when I tried it on.  I felt it was more suitable for a party than a wedding. The Vera Wang sleeveless and sequined cocktail dress is retailed at KD 736 and is available now at Aïshti located in the Avenues Phase II.


I have 3 words to describe this beautifully crafted strapless number by Marchesa. A Piece of Art. And even though I'm not too fond of the red crystals embellishment, the way the ruffles stand and sway when walking makes me overlook the embellished details. This is definitely a dress that should be sported by the hostess.


This is another lovely tiffany blue color with a lovelier origami creation by William Tempest which I spotted at Al Othman Boutique. But a word of advice here, you need to have a really high neck to pull off this look.  Otherwise, you'll be smudging the dress with your lipstick! Or maybe it simply needs some  alteration/ tailoring magic. Price tag? KD 1,198.

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.
