I Heart My: Khaleejesque Part II

By now I'm sure all of you are familiar with lifestyle web-zine Khaleejesque. In today's 2nd part of I Heart My, we'll get to know Khaleejesque's editor, who also has her own blog, Alya Al-Othman's favorite fashion item items.  I must say I was very impressed by the quality of her photos and I greatly appreciate that she took the time to make a mini photoshoot just for confashions (Thank YOU!)! And don't get me started on her Marni shoes collection (heart Marni!). I'll leave you now with some words from Alya:  

"Marni is one of my top 3 ultimate contemporary designer brands. Every year I make it a mission to buy 2 pairs of shoes (one from the AW season and one from the SS season). I occasionally get flats, but I always end up falling – no pun intended – for their sky high heels. They are incredibly tall, and not always practical, but I still love them.  As you can see, one of them still has the tag on! I bought that pair last year and it has yet to make its debut…

What I love about Marni is that every piece in their collection, clothing AND accessories, is so artistically designed. For an art and design lover like me, I can't help but admire that. Each shoe in itself is also unique and creative and adds a punch to each outfit."

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.
