Confashions Cravings

As I write this post, I’m munching on the yummiest white chocolate with dried strawberries I have ever tasted (5th photo), courtesy of Ottolenghi, the place to go to in London for healthy snacks and not so-healthy but mind-blowing desserts.

Ottolenghi has around 4 branches around London but I only managed to go to the one in Knightsbridge. The place was quite tiny with one big round table to share with others. And its stripped-down and all-white décor made the mouth-watering food counter with its legendary colorful salads on display the center of attention. The portions of the Mediterranean-inspired salads served were quite big as well, so make sure you share your salads. If you haven’t been there yet, you have to try their almost tabbouleh salad and their caramel and macadamia cheesecake (last photo). Sooo good that I bought the owner’s (Yotam Ottolenghi)best selling cookbooks in an attempt to create the same taste back home…. I’ll let you know about that later.

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...
