Exclusive: Sneak Preview of From Coco with Love

I had the pleasure to meet the girls behind From Coco with Love, who started a business in selling vintage and rare Chanel jewelry.

The girls were beyond lovely, elegantly accessorized in Chanel, bien sur! They have established their business a little over a year ago and I have found it hard to believe that it hasn’t been around longer. Because the way they described the pieces so passionately and in detail, you would have easily thought that they’ve been in the business for at least 5 years.  They have scouted Europe’s brokers, vintage resellers, and vintage shops and have individually examined and handpicked the pieces of their vintage collection, each works perfectly well in today’s modern world. I have taken photos of some of my favorite pieces; I know they’re a lot!  But the pieces were so exquisite that I couldn’t settle for two or three photos!!! So enjoy...

Their exhibition will take place tomorrow only Wednesday April 27, 2011 at La Blanche Gallery in Mishref, block 4, street 2, House 6.  From 4 pm – 9pm. For inquiries please contact: Fromcocowithlove@live.com or  follow From Coco with Love on twitter, facebook page, and facebook group.

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...

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in  Miu Miu   Boutiques throughout our region.

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?
