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.

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...

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.

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?
