Bag Lady

With all the temptations surrounding us while shopping, how can I possibly settle for one or two or even three bags per season. How many bags do you buy per season? And how many do you actually need?! Tough question that can only be answered and controlled by sticking to a budget (by force not choice in my case!!). And this can be quite difficult to commit to especially with all the variety of bags available in Dubai.. Here are some of the bags I loved while shopping around starting with this hot red shoulder bag courtesy of Chloé.

Diane von Furstenberg leopard-print snakeskin clutch
Loved the color combo of this YSL shopping bag
I don't ever recall being in a designer boutique and lusting after at least 6 bags of its collection at the same time! That was the kind of effect Céline had on me when I was shopping around the boutique. Very budget-unfriendly! 

A cute mini cross bag in bright orange colored leather from See by Chloé
Balenciaga's latest design of the classic shopping bag

I'm not sure if I like these Gucci totes... but I loved their color!

1001NIGHTS: I'm loving the coral/orangish color for bags just because it's so stunning when contrasted against white and we end up wearing a lot of white/beige in the summer. SO two bags that I INSIST you include in your list :p One is YSL and the other is Gucci. (I lost faith in Gucci for a while but this is a really good one.) Check them out:

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...
