Boy Oh Boy!

When the Boy Chanel bags made their debut, I wasn't too thrilled about the collection mainly for one reason, I didn't like the look of chain used on the bag. It looked too... industrial. Bear in mind that I made my judgment based on only photos I've seen of the Chanel ‘Boy’ bag. And Boy (no pun intended) was I wrong. The other day I saw the boxy ‘Boy’ bag in black and pearly white at the brand's boutique in Salhiya Complex. So I decided to give it a try, I took a closer look, carried it on my shoulder. And at that point I pretty much got hooked, unfortunately for my savings. There is something so rough-chic about its structured shape and the geometric metal fastening featuring the iconic double C’s and yup... that industrial-looking chain. Price tag? KD 1,075 for the black one, not sure if the pearly white had the same price tag, but if you're planing to get it, here's a word of advice, don't wear it with denim to avoid staining the bag.

Thanks Congfashions for posting the price. I am intrigued though, what do you mean by not staining the bag wearing jeans? i thought the abaya was enough! I don't own a white bag due to that particular reason.

Thanks

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.

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.
