Hermès Finally Open in Kuwait

No more rumors and no more speculations. This is it! Hermès boutique is finally open at Kuwait's newest luxury destination Al Hamra Tower. I've been invited to the opening of the boutique and let me tell you something, I'm not a huuuuge fan of Hermès, but as I walked in through the botanical like garden leading the way to the boutique's entrance, all decorated with lemon, flowers, and Hermès scarves, I was completely starstruck, for lack of better words! There it was, the long-awaited Hermès boutiques with its colorful bags in the most mouth-watering colors, scarves, and bracelets, exerting a powerful pull on me and taunting me all at once. Oh and the smell of new leather?? Yup. I was powerless, especially when I saw this super mini Kelly in bright yellow?! Honey... you will be mine.

There will be a VIP event in the evening as well, so entrance will be invite-only. However, Hermès boutique will be officially open to the public starting tomorrow at 10 AM. So good luck hunters.

Take your pick...

Hermès jypsiere in two sizes, I personally liked the smaller size, it looked more practical (A wink to my friend DS)

Chic and sleek

Yup, the one encrusted with diamonds!Not my cup of tea though...

Cute saddle charm

I liked the horse charm on this bag

The window display of Hermès was absolutely stunning with it's botanical garden theme, Hermès scarves tied neatly around trees and cactus. Hermès wallets strategically places on plans to give the illusion of flowers. So pretty.

Check out the colorful peacock on the window display it looked so unbelievably real!

Special thanks to Ms. Dana Mado, immaculately dressed I must add in a fabulous fit-hugging cream lace dress, and all the lovely team at Hermès for their warm welcome and a well organized event

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.
