Browsing P2BK

So I have finally managed to pay P2BK exhibition a visit over the weekend. Unfortunately, I was unable to go through the entire exhibition as it was too crowded. And I had to leave since I get claustrophobic in crowded places, especially in the food gallery section..

Anyhow, let me share with you some items that caught my attention starting with these hand-painted wooden coasters shaped as Arabic letters. I spotted them at Tashkeil's booth and they're designed by Lebanese brand Kashida. I have read about them before on Khaleejesque. Check out their website, they really have cool stuff to decorate your home with. They also make a great housewarming gifts...

The first booth we stopped at had these cute mini clay scupltures. Apparently, you can send in a photo of a friend and they can create a sculpture of her/him for around KD 25 only. Great gift idea! If interested, you can contact them at magic_effect@hotmail.com or call (+965) 6606-2860.

A beautiful art piece showcasing Kuwait's old flag. Spotted it at My Cycle booth. Basically what they do is they recycle almost anything and create items that can be reused, like earrings, oversized clutches, wall decorations.. etc. They also offer a service to collect old magazines and newspapers form your home. Find out more by clicking here.

I fell in love with this booth presenting a new business called Japan Order. What they do is that they offer you an online platform to shop from leading Japanese shopping sites and get access to products unavailable elsewhere online. And that's not only it, they can help you locate an item you read it about somewhere and that it's only sold in Japan and they can get it for you. Think Fashion clothes and accessories, iPad and iPhone accessories (Hello Kitty iPhone Plug?! Cute!), gourmet food, animation and games, and other household items. Super Kawaii!!! We bought tofu and green tea flavored Kit Kat which they were on sale at the booth and the taste was ahhhmazing! They're not available yet only, but according to the owner they'll be adding those and other items in two weeks time.

I spotted the cutest price tag at Fortune Cookie's booth! Remember this smelly chewing gum which was very popular back in the 80's?! They have replicated the cover of the chewing gum and used it as a price tag! Smart! And check out the owner's cool ombré manicure! Me like!

A very expressive art piece by Mohammed Sharaf at FA Gallery's booth

One of my favorite local furniture brand MAZE, which I have previously featured here, had their own booth too. Needless to say they had gorgeous pieces on display.

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...
