An Evening with Jewels by N

A few weeks ago I have received a private invite from Kuwaiti jewelry designer Nouf Zaman who wanted me to preview and get the first look at her beautiful new brand Jewels by N.

I was warmly welcomed by Nouf the designer and her lovely sister Fajer who explained to me how she personally designs each piece taking inspiriting from vintage jewelry and then she have them manufactured by experts in India. They have received a very positive feedback from her clients, and I'm not surprised, as I looked closely at Jewels by N's edited range of statement necklaces, cuffs, and earrings all made of semi-precious stones and zircon crystals, the pieces really stood out, everything looked beautiful, perfectly designed, and expertly hand-crafted. And speaking of statement necklaces, the timing of this jewelry exhibition couldn't be any more perfect! Statement necklaces for your caftans anyone? The pieces are priced between KD35 and KD220, which seems like a steal for pieces that are so well handcrafted and look lavish.

Thank you so much, Nouf! I just loved having a peek into your amazing world.

Take a look below at my shots from the preview. If you wish to visit the exhibition or have any further inquiries, please call (+965) 9775-1255 to book an appointment.

The necklaces in action... beautiful no?

The designer Nouf Zaman was re-arranging the display after the mess I made :P Oh and look at her Valentino shoes..me like!

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...
