Reed-ing Aïshti


I was just walking around Aïshti boutique in the Avenues when suddenly I saw something that looked very familiar! Wait!! Gasp! Are those Reed handbags?! Yes they are! Just a few months ago they debuted on Net-a-Porter when I declared my eternal love to Reed’s practical and chic looking bag.

Aïshti  had two styles (featured here) of Reed Krakoff’s Boxer II Totes and already a couple of pieces flew off the shelves. I loved the tan-colored one with dark orange belt (it came in a smaller size but it sold out). Howeverrr I have to admit, they’re quite heavy, which kind of a turn-off to me especially that I’m known to stuff a lot of unnecessary things in my handbags (just in case…). Anyone, the large size is priced around KD 570 and the smaller one is priced around, if my memory doesn't fail me that is, KD 350.

Hehe ;P When it first came out, around mid November, i bought mine, the Boxer I suede tote in camel (there was blue, but a shade of blue I surprisingly didn't like)
it's price was 395 KD.
And yes, it's weight is an issue, but it's not a bag I'd take shopping, so, so far it's doing well for uni ;P
I love it <<3

What do you think of the Alviero Martini bags (with the map) ? I want to buy one but I'm hesitating. My sister thinks it's a "bad bag, a complete waste of money". So should I buy one or not?

Sorry its kindof a random question :p.

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...

My Birkin... My Pride & Joy

Birkin ... Birkin .. Birkin ... you mesmerize me.. I'm so addicted to yoooooou . sitting galmorously in my closet is my hard earned blue Hermes Birkin Bag. To own it is like the ultimate fashionista dream. I look at it lovingly and think to myself " daaaamn ! you are one hell of a lucky girl! I shall protect you from the evil eye 'till the day I die ". My friend asked me once why am I so obsessed with my Birkin . I can list 100 reasons why. But just to be short & sweet, it's exclusive, expensive ( I saw a Birkin in vogue with diamonds on it's hardware. How much do you think it costs? ), it's hand crafted , it takes 2 whole weeks of dedication to produce one, and it's THE bag everyone in the fashion world admires. During a recent visit to The Comfort Shoe at Mariam Complex , I came across a Birkin look alike ( shown in the pictures above ). I have to admit, from afar the bag actually looked good. So I went in to check it out. And THANK GO...
