Zara gets Waxed

Ladies, forget about J Brand Houlihan's and your boyfriend-cut jeans (temporarily of course as I can't part with mine!). This season, get yourself a pair of waxed denim. The new "it" jeans of the season. And I'm glad I spotted 3 budget-friendly versions at Zara to test the trend first before I throw my money down the drain. Zara had the waxed denim in 3 colors: Bordeaux (like the one featured here which I ended up buying because the denim was in the color of the season and looked great too!), silver-ish black, and dusty-gold. I tried them on and they were perfect! It's like wearing a pair of leather pants minus the discomfort and the sweating (excusez-moi). And they're light weight, which makes them perfect for our weather, and they give your off-duty look some seriously fierce and über-chic attitude. And now I'm debating whether I should buy J Brand's Gigi mid-rise waxed cropped jeans in black or dark brown.  Hmm.. or maybe get Mrs. Beck's denim?. And that's not all! I also spotted this very Alexander Wang-ish white tee with a splash of waxed paint on one side of the shoulder also at Zara. Price tag? KD 8.500.

Hmm.. I think Zara has been dominating my high-street posts! And hey! I'm not complaining! I'm glad to find a way to test fashion trends at very reasonable prices.

oh love the top!
I was there just the other day, and found a hot gold tunic. Didn't get it because the fabric made me feel like I was wearing a plastic garbage bag :(
I'll go tomorrow and hunt your top :)

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.
