Event: DarUsha's Indoor Garden Party

Last night I passed by DarUsha, a multi-brand boutique for anyone who's looking for colorful caftans, Muhajababe-friendly clothes, and classy evening wear, to attend their indoor garden party celebrating the launch of Jeddah-based Boutique Sotra and its line of most-wanted turbans, cute collars, and simple-yet-sweet caftans.

I was hoping to get a closer look of the Knot or the arch turbans and try them out, I wasn't so sure if I'd pull the look off, but I was interested to find out. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Due to my prior commitments I came in a bit too late, so most, if not all, of Sotra's turban were already sold out. And according to PLTQ8, who organized the event, the turbans were sold out in 10 minutes of the opening.

So I browsed the freshly decorated boutique and took a closer look of its selection. Including Anaikka's rich and heavily embroidered metallic neck pieces, bolero jackets, and harnesses. They're quite fierce and I think they require a certain persona to pull them off. If they look familiar, Anaikka's pieces were used as part of the dancers' costumes at Madonna's Super Bowl halftime show performance. Scroll down for more of DarUsha's event and fashion highlights.

DarUsha is located at Burj Jassim in Kuwait City opposite to Discovery Mall.

Would you be able to tell us if DarUsha also carries such labels as Sabyasachi, Aki Narula, Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla, Ritu Beri, Neeta Lulla and Shobha Asar among others??

@ lingerista from Barrista:

Try out Samsaara boutique in Zahra Centre! They may have something you're interested in. A while back, Ritu Kumar was hugely popular in Kuwait but I don't know if she still has her own stand alone store for pret fashion; much less if any boutiques in the country carry her label anymore.

Ooh-la la! Me thinks the turban would go rather well with the kaftans.

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...
