In My Closet: Glasses

How many pairs of eye/sunglasses do you own? And how many is too many? I was doing a bit of spring cleaning when I noticed something that I didn't take note of before. I saw a lot of sunglasses boxes neatly stacked in my drawer. Why was I under the impression that I had 3-4 pairs maximum! So I picked some of my favorites to share them with you... hmm.. looking through my purchased glasses, I came to realize that I always tend to settle for eccentric pieces... preferably with a cat-eye frame.

From left, round-shape sunglasses from TopShop, Prada's Baroque sunglasses with swirl accents, and House of Harlow 1960 'Chelsea' Cat's Eye sunglasses, which I got from Pinkmoon Boutique.

I have a thing for cat-eye frames in case you haven't notice. I got the sunglasses shown on the top from Boutique 4. The ones below it are by Marni, I got them from Villa Moda several years ago, I haven't worn them that much though, maybe I need to replace the glasses with darker shades.

I got these Luella wayfarer sunglasses by Linda Farrow from AlOthman probably 4 years ago.. I fell in love with the cut-out heart detail on the side... I miss Luella..

My latest obsession are these Givenchy acetate optical glasses with statement black panther-detailed arms

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...
