Dear Confashion: Looking for a Wedding Dress

One of my fab readers has sent me an e-mail asking for help to find wedding gown for her sister-in-law. She mentioned that they were hoping I'd post something about bridal gowns stating that "My sister-in-law's personal preference is a ball gown with a bow detail at the back and preferably having a low back. Please help us find a suitable gown".

So I turned to my first style-opedia Style.com and I did some extensive search on wedding gowns that graced the runways during New York's Bridal Fashion Week and Paris's Haute Couture week. It is so overwhelming to skim through the vast selection of wedding gowns! And here's an advice to Brides-to-be, remember to keep an open mind and to experiment with the idea of altering a dress to fit your liking. Most designers, if not all, can make their colored evening gowns into the most beautiful white wedding dress. My ultimate favorite look has to be Givenchy Couture, featured in the the first photo. Of course you'll be having a thicker layer on to the lower half of the dress. And look at the back detail of another Givenchy creation. Gorgeous! 

Sigh! That Azzedine Alaïa black dress in white? Or how about this extravagant Giambattista Valli dress with a simple very short veil? For a very classic and simple gown that can we re-worn for other occasions, try Victoria Beckham (featured on the right below), maybe you'd like to add some lace and embroidery details to the neckline if this dress feels too simple. And finally, Alexander McQueen's short/long young and fresh design for someone who's edgy and not afraid to take some fashion risks.

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...

My Birkin... My Pride & Joy

Birkin ... Birkin .. Birkin ... you mesmerize me.. I'm so addicted to yoooooou . sitting galmorously in my closet is my hard earned blue Hermes Birkin Bag. To own it is like the ultimate fashionista dream. I look at it lovingly and think to myself " daaaamn ! you are one hell of a lucky girl! I shall protect you from the evil eye 'till the day I die ". My friend asked me once why am I so obsessed with my Birkin . I can list 100 reasons why. But just to be short & sweet, it's exclusive, expensive ( I saw a Birkin in vogue with diamonds on it's hardware. How much do you think it costs? ), it's hand crafted , it takes 2 whole weeks of dedication to produce one, and it's THE bag everyone in the fashion world admires. During a recent visit to The Comfort Shoe at Mariam Complex , I came across a Birkin look alike ( shown in the pictures above ). I have to admit, from afar the bag actually looked good. So I went in to check it out. And THANK GO...
