Got My Mind Set on You

I got my mind set on you
But it's gonna take money
A whole lotta spending money
It's gonna take plenty of money
To do it right...

Remember this 80's hit song by George Harrison? I remember when I was really young, I used to play it on and on. Only very recently I found out that George Harrison was the lead guitarist of The Beatles! Probably one of his only solo songs? And all that time I thought her was an American singer. But that's not the point of this post. This song exactly describes how I feel about falling for 4 different bags at the same time. I spotted them at Givenchy boutique in 360 Mall and I couldn't decide which one to go for. And of course I wouldn't buy all of them at once. That would be ridiculous. Right? A current favorite is this Givenchy antigona bag. The drawbacks however are 1) its light shade, which means prone to stains, although I'm in love with its color-combo. 2) it was slightly on the heavy side, not sure if I'd have the strength to carry it around with all my junk inside. But I'm still in love with it.

So... back to the song I guess..

Its gonna take tiiiiime
A whole lot of precious time
It's gonna take patience and time...

Givenchy Nightingale Satchel bag is quite the classic and not as heavy as the antigona bag

Envelop clutch in one of my favorite shades, cobalt blue! So pretty...

Why am I seeing something Celine'ish in the first bag and the third one? Hmmm....guess the structure and the use of more than one color. At any rate, the first one is beeyooriful. Still, I myself am avoiding heavy bags like the plague now. You get so happy when you first buy them but after a few long outings you realize you need to go back to your lighter bags to avoid hurting your shoulder.

ps. good job with the verses! I do remember and love that song :)

These bags have a hold on you to make you inspired to write poetry because of the eagerness to own them. I laughed a bit when I read the introductory literary work but I was still impressed at how you're so passionate about your hobby in collecting beautiful bags and clothes.

Yeah the structure used and the way they integrated colored leather to the design is borderline Celine-ish.. probably that's why I fell for it! :P
Thanks ;)

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...
