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...

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...
