Shopping Around Dubai Mall

This really is a long overdue post, especially in blogesphere's standards. It is time to catch up on my Dubai shopping finds. This post is dedicated to my favorite picks starting with Hermès Kelly shearling-lined muff (you carry it in a way where you tuck your hands in on the sides), a glamorous way to carry your essentials and keep your hands toasty at the same time, so unpractical for any kind of weather but it's sooo adorable.

Balenciaga platform sandals at Bloomingdales. I was hoping to see the colour block heels from Balenciaga's Fall 2010.

YSL cobalt-blue suede pumps

The chain detail on the heel of these Brian Atwood vamped-up pumps adds a nice element of surprise to any understated look

YSL matt golden cuffs? Yes please!

I didn't expect to see bags from S/S 2010 runways still on sale at Chanel's boutique in Dubai Mall.

I think this grey colored Chanel flap bag is from the new collection. Cute tweed detail!

I didn't see this version of the bow-pumps at Kuwait's LV boutique. These have shorter heels and bright yellow bow.

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...

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.

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?
