Dear Confashion: A Necklace or a Hair Band?

I have received an e-mail from rep of a brand called Dauphines of New York hair accessories.  What I loved about this brand is that it offers a collection of adjustable headbands that serve dual purpose - functioning as both headband and necklace. Isn't that genius?! You can wear the headband 1920s flapper-style, or the common standard styel, hippie chic style a la Nicole Richie, and finally as a statement necklace.

The designs feature an adjustable band to allow for this interchangeable function, while also providing tailored comfort of fit. Prices range from $70-$225, and materials utilized are of finest quality (natural Agate, Citrine, Turquoise and Amethyst stones, Swarovski crystals, weightless metal chains, minimalist mesh, classic pearls and tortoise toggle, woven leather and suede).

Dauphines of New York debuted via a series of trunk shows at BERGDORF GOODMAN and Henri Bendel. Select styles will soon be available on www.shopbop.com. In addition, their hair chopsticks will be featured in ELLE Magazine's January 2011 Beauty "It List."

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.
