Atelier Mayer and the Overdressed Bahrain Luncheon

Atelier-Mayer, an online retailer for luxury vintage fashion and accessories, and Bahrain-based addictive fashion blog The overdressed hosted an exclusive private luncheon at the Al Khalifa residence in Riffa. Unfortunately I missed this event. But the Atelier-Mayer were kind enough to share with me some photos of this intimate bash.  Classical violinist Theresa Finzi, granddaughter of famed British composer Raphael Finzi, enchanted the atmosphere with Haydn, Mozart and Vivaldi.

Cocktails of pomegranate and lime juice with fragrant rose water cooled the steaming fashion crowd who were heatedly debating their next vintage acquisitions. Lunch was served on a tropical garden terrace with palm tree vista juxtaposed with Parisian jazz. At a stunning table setting we ate organic dill rice, freshly grilled vegetables and traditional lamb stew. The homemade pesto lasagna was long gone before some of the guests could get hold of it. We finished off with delicious rosewater and date macaroons by Alexandra M, homemade mini cheesecakes and crème brulee with pistachio Ishtha. Happy shoppers didn't leave empty handed: Fabulous goodie bags including Camilla Morton’s newly launched book “Christian Lacroix and the Tale of Sleeping Beauty” hot off the press, a selection of exclusive The overdressed postcards, a special Atelier-Mayer lip gloss inspired by Klimt containing 24 carat gold leaf, and a selection of typical Austrian Salzburger Mozart chocolates. Wish I was there!

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.
