A New Addiction

GASP!!! Is that Rodarte on the window display!?! In K-town?!?! Obviously I have been living under a rock lately, because there is no way this semi-new store have skipped my fashion radars for TWO WHOLE MONTHS!!?  Well actually it's not completely new, you see Al Ostura group has revamped one of their boutiques (the two stories one) located at Thurraya Mall. I think it used to sell one or two brand on the ground floor, (Jean Paul Gaultier and Galliano?) and on the basement, they used to have a mix of old and new stock, you know, the usual Al Ostura display. But now, it's a full-fledged and all new multi-brand boutique. When I first walked in the boutique I was quite amazed at how neatly the stock was displayed! Is that really Al Ostura boutique?! And the brands?? In addition to Rodarte, they're currently stocking Christopher Kane, Meadham Kirchhoff, Jennifer Ouellette hairbands, Giambattista Valli, Giles, Dries Van Noten, Mary Katrantzou, Antonio Berardi, and more! Quite impressive! Me like a lot! Well actually, I loved everything about the boutique and the selection except for... the usual stalkers!!! (aka the sales ladies and their prozac-ish attitude). Here are some of the pieces in-store...   

Mary Katrantzou. Price tag? KD 1,200
Antonio Berardi hot pink cocktail dress KD 380

Love the prints on these Giles pieces. They come in a set of silk top with matching pants. The button-down shirt shown below is priced at KD 235

Hello Fluoro!! One of my favorite collections of the season (and the hardest to find online!), Christopher Kane florescent lace dresses. L.O.V.E! Prices range between KD 780 - KD 1,125.

Stunning Kane dress!!! KD 1,280! Kane and Rodarte?! Bye bye savings!
 Maxime Simoens gabardine dress decorated with white leather floral details. KD 1,420.

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...
