Dear Confashion: Retro Revival

The 50's and 60's waist accentuating chic dresses of yesterday found their way to our 21st century fashion with Retro Revival, a newly started home business. The brand, designed by a British designer, is inspired by the rich and diverse culture of Africa. So it mixes African fabrics with modernized 50's and 60's shapes. 

I loved the full-shaped dress, would look pretty paired with Assad Mounser's gunmetal-plated brass and spiked fluorite necklace. A pearl necklace would be a no-no, unless you want to look like a cast member of Mad Men, then that's a different story... 

For further inquiries or to order, please send an e-mail to Retro.Revival@hotmail.com.

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.
