Window Shopping until Pre-Fall and Fall

It's July. And by now I think I've had enough of what's being offered on sale around town. I'm bored basically and I'm in desperate need of seeing pre-fall and fall merchandise right there in front of me (not virtually) for some fashion stimulation. So until that time comes, I decided to do some window shopping at different home accessories boutiques. My only worry was that my window shopping might turn into an extravaganza for spending my hard-earned money on items I really really don't need! Fortunately that did not happen. Anyways, here are some of the really cool items I have spotted here and there..

How cool are these set of tea glasses (istikanas) with padded sleeves shaped as guy wearing a tarboosh. Available at Turquoise boutique in 360 Mall.

Colorful triangle shaped tables to add zest to boring rooms. Available at B&B boutique in Al Tilal Complex

Loved this very artistic and huuuuge center plate. The photo really does not do it justice. Also at B&B boutique.

Another huuuuge and a statement piece at B&B. It's a plain chandelier from the outside but the inner side of it has a beautifully carved floral details.

I forgot the name of this boutique (was it Kenzo Maison?!)but it was at Al Tilal too. Now THIS is the kind of piece I'd like to have in my living room. So classy! I already started referring to it as "my couch"!

Silver hammered tables to match "my couch"

Check out this footstool from Kenzo Maison shaped as Kenzo's Pagodon Bag which I have featured before here. So pwety!

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.

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.
