J'Adore Dior

I officially now have a thing for Dior. I went into the brand's boutique in Salhiya Complex only to be absolutely captivated by the sixties-chic/Brigitte Bardotesque inspired pieces from Christian Dior's Cruise collection 2011. Now I want you to scroll down and I will give you a moment to feast your eyes on this playful leather dress in confectionery pink embellished with a cute leather rosette. There. Isn't that the prettiest leather dress you have ever seen in your entire life? Price tag? KD 1,950. I also liked this lavender coloured long leather jacket with scalloped edges and knitted sleeves, but it felt more suitable for ladies in their 40's. 

And thanks to Marion Cotillard's Dior ads, I'm now totally suckered  sucked into buying the Lady Dior bag. But maybe when I'm 50 years old...

You're Absolutely right. for S/S 2009 Chloe used the scalloped detail in its designs and I think Christopher Kane as well.. :)

I would say if the bag was a cross bag it would be awesome and the dress is targeted for petite females. And, Thats all.

I love Dior as well!
About your Lady Dior bag comment, I must disagree though. The Large Lady Dior bag is very trendy and hip, not for a 50 year old. Here in Dubai, a lot of women in their 20's onwards carry it. There's so many colors, and its pretty cool how you have the strap to carry it on your shoulder!

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.
