The Very Vest

It took me a while to find a flattering sheepskin gilet that didn't make me look like an extra from Shaun the Sheep episodes (a fat extra may I add). And ever since I got my fluffy vest almost a year ago, I've been contemplating whether I should buy me another one since I found the piece to be quite versatile.  It's the ultimate addition to a great pair of flares, hippie chic skirt, leather cropped pants, maxi dresses, skinny jeans paired with Isabel Marant boots *wink to D*. But honestly, living in hot hot hot Kuwait, how many pieces of furry vests do I really need! Maximum one! But it doesn't hurt to try it on in shops every now and then, like I did recently with this Reiss number (don't you just love their wallpaper?!).  The Sheepskin gilet (I think it was priced at KD 194)  looked really cute, not that flattering on me though! and I LOVED pairing it with these crushed velvet high-waist pants, also from Reiss and priced at KD 55. Very Bohemian chic indeed! Guess what? I ended up buying the... pants of course! Wise, no?

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...
