Hang Your Bag in Style

As a fashion junkie, I go to extreme measures to make sure that my prized possessions in the fashion arena are always kept in perfect condition. For example, every pair of shoes I own is neatly stored in a see-through box inside my closet, by importance order of course. Each type of accessories I own is also stored in a padded Liberty like fabric box, by groups (a box for belt, a box for rings, a box for scarves... etc). And once a month a use the mini-hover these boxed just to make sure they're super clean (Obsessive Compulsive? moi?). Aaaand, I do one thing which some of my friends think it's embarrassing but I'm going to share it with you anyways. If I want to book a table at a restaurant for, let's say, 4 people, I call the restaurant and ask for a table of 5 to make sure my bag doesn't touch the floor and has a seat of its own! Annoying? Maybe. But I don't want to take any chances when it comes to my beloved bags. It doesn't always work out but at least I gave it a shot. So for such fashion emergencies, the bag hook comes in handy. Up until recently, the ones I saw are really really tacky! But these bag hooks by Kenzo are so so adorable! I spotted them at the brand's boutique in the Avenues Phase II and they're shaped like Kenzo's Pagodon Bag. Price tag? KD 19. Great gift idea too!

A clutch would be places on the table of course (if it was a mini clutch) and if it was the oversized type, I'd put it on my lap. ;)

Hey Con! Just want to start by saying I am a big fan! Love reading your posts, keep it up! This is my first time to comment and I am really interested in seeing how you keep your closet and accesorizes organized :-p I have been trying to get myself organized and I feel like I have no space! My shoes and bags are my babies and I want to make them a nice home. Could you maybe show us how Ms.Confashions takes care of her babies? ;-) If it's not touch to ask.

Thank you Maha and I'm glad you enjoy reading my blog :)

For shoes, I always store them in boxes to protect them from dust. IKEA has great boxed for shoes with a see-through side so that you can actually tell which pair of shoes are stored inside without opening the box.

For make-up and Jewelry, I organize them in plastic trays also available at IKEA.

I'll try to take photos of my stuff and share them with you. :)

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.
