Baby, It's Cold Outside

New season always calls for a new mood! And for some reason I'm in the mood for a new coat! Actually I think after seeing Burberry's selection of fabulous coats during its S/S 2012 runway, I'm more geared up than ever to find a statement coat. I know I'll be hardly wearing it here though. But it will come in handy next time I plan for a winterish trip. So I did my rounds, offline first, and found some really chic coats with polished styles by DKNY, located in the Avenues Phase II, and our high-street favorite Zara.

I fell in love with this très chic DKNY trench coat trimmed with black leather paneling. Price tag? KD 335

Love love love capes! This wool cape is by DKNY and also retails for KD 335

Now for the budget friendly versions, a very Céline-ish coat from Zara coat. Priced at KD 59

And this light-weight coat is also from Zara and its not orange in color! Don't know what went wrong with my cam. It's actually hot pink, like Jackie-O's iconic hot pink suit. It looked cute but not the heavy-duty type. Price tag? KD 59.

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...
