I Heart My: By The Fashion Network

Being surrounded by beauty and fashion offline and online always makes me wonder about pieces we treasure in our closets and wouldn't dare throw away. So I have decided to add a new feature on my blog titled I Heart My to explore THE one fashion item that you can't live without and will treasure forever. I'll be approaching inspiring and motivated people from the fashion world and blogesphere plus shed some light on why they do. And I'm pleased to start off with the fab fashionistas behind The Fashion Network.

The Fashion Network is a Dubai-based organization that organizes networking events specialized for the fashion industry, including offering emerging designers an opportunity to showcase their collections to press, buyers and potential clients. Their next step is the launching ‘Fashion Helps!’ an organization that will encourage fashion conscious individuals to be more involved with good causes and charity.

The Fashion Network recently hosted an exclusive networking event for online fashion media at Grosvenor House in Dubai, which I have unfortunately missed Guests had the privilege of exclusively viewing Fashion for a Cause photo shoot which bloggers took part in to raise awareness on different causes such as Breast Cancer, Animal Rights, Diabetes and Disability. So let's see the most loved fashion item by the founders of The Fashion Network.

Isidora Peric (founder): "I love this Marc Jacobs bag because the colors are perfect for next season and it compliments most of the pieces I already have in my closet. The gold embellishments really makes it one of a kind."

Zahra Lyla Pedram (co-founder): "Peep-toe heels are my wardrobe must have and this Alexander McQueen number is one of my favorites. The signature skull toughens the girly silhouette and just works well with any outfit. You can never go wrong with a McQueen!"

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.
