Symphony by Night


So back to Symphony’s invite-only launch party at Dubai Mall. It was without doubt an evening to remember for so many reasons and on so many levels.  Before I even start on how fabulous the evening was, please allow me to get carried away for a moment about the absolutely lovely atmosphere of Symphony’s sparkling new and swanky boutique. The interior is a domestic heaven. Think high ceilings, well-lit space, and fitting rooms to swoon over (I’m talking every shopaholic’s dream fitting rooms here).  Adding mini frosted cupcakes to the mix was just plain deadly!

We were treated to an exclusive unveiling of the Symphony AW10 art installation which was produced by local art talent; The Tinkah Studio, I’ll be posting about it later tonight hopefully! It was also a night where I got to see the absolutely lovely bloggeristas LilyDressCode and ButterHotShoes. They’re incredibly sweet , stylish, and warm. 

The star-studded event featured exclusive guests Whitney Port, Christian Siriano, Rupert Sanderson, Camilla Skovgaard, Erin Fetherston and model Raina Hein. The event was packed full of Dubai’s most beautiful and stylish women. And I was thrilled to see a large number of local fashionistas because I don’t get the chance to do so when I visit Dubai throughout the year. Everyone who was there simply looked gorgeous.  I then started to mingle with the designers/celebrities, get to know more about their future plans, and their visit to Dubai. The event also featured Symphony x FACE Africa charity auction; bidding was made on pieces donated by the guest designers. You can find out more about the charity here.

A huuuge thank you goes to Symphony Boutique for inviting me to such a fabulous and memorable event. And a special thanks goes to H & S's warm welcome. I'll leave you now with a few pics to remember the evening by...


Some accessories that caught my eyes.. beautiful! And check out the jewelry stand in the first photo! So cool!

Auction sticks ready for the bidders
Designer Erin Fetherston is such a doll! She has a beautiful porcelain skin and she is unbelievably sweet and genuine. I really enjoyed chatting with her. 

Sigh... Whitney with those shiny locks again...
I think the one on the left is Harper's Bazaar Arabia's Fashion Editor/Director? Those ankle boots are smashing hot!
The fabulous LilyDressCode
Check out the tattos on Camilla Skovgaard's legs!
The lovely ButterHotShoes
Let the auction begin!
The face of Symphony AW10  campaign and one of America's Next Top Model’s finalists Raina Hein is just as sweet and genuine as Erin. 

Camilla Skovgaard is REALLY tall

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.
