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...

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.
