Temptations at Boutique 4

The other day I passed by Boutique 4 in Shuwaikh as I wanted to get a closer look of Black Gold falcon sculpture by world-renowned  AGI Architects, an international design firm providing comprehensive services in Architecture, Plannin, Urban Design and Interior Design. The idea behind the installation is to create a provocative call for social environmental and urban awareness. Of course that was my first "intention", to find out more about the installation. However, the moment I stepped inside, I unconsciously went straight to Charlotte Olympia's new collection which I have been meaning to try on and get a closer look at ever since the boutique posted their pics on instagram. My intellectual side of my brain was embarrassed of my fashion obsessed soul, but I knew that my brain will eventually forgive me at the end because one pair were literally a work of art (featured above) and worthy of a display in a museum. So I think that balanced it out... 

Anyhow, take a look of some feet candy and interesting fashion and home accessories available in store. Oh! And in the last two photos you will see the Black Gold falcon installation I was referring to earlier in the post. 

Hello Charlotte Olympia.. the leaf sandals were tdf!
This may look like a bracelet but it's actually a gorgeous necklace with stone like details
If Cartier's Juste un Clou bracelet/ring are waaay out of your budget, try these reasonably priced versions
Another crystal encrusted bracelet to love! Remember the one that I posted about here?

Modern looking Sheesha/Narghile. I HATE smkoing in all its forms, but I have to admit these look interesting. They actually reminded me of a Narghile business called Belle Epoque, which have e-mailed me their products and I featured them on Dear Confashion page. 


I loved this... ehat it looks like a fiber optic lamp stand! Beautiful piece!
And finally, the Black Gold Falcon installation...

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.
