Event: Sukar Ramadan


Over the weekend we passed by Sukar Ramadan exhibition which was held at 360 Mall. The exhibition featured around 20 companies displaying their latest sweet creations including snacks, baked goods, confectionery, chocolate, ice cream, gurgai'an stuff, and serving plates and platters. We went there right after lunch because a) we didn't want to get tempted by all the desserts surrounding us and as a result end up consuming unnecessary calories. And b) to avoid the crowd. To our luck, the exhibition wasn't crowded so we took our time enjoying the presentation of almost all of the booths. The only unfortunate thing was that I couldn't find the booth which was selling The Women in My Life cookbook, I read about on Danderma. 

The first booth that caught my attention was of course 21 Carrots', I have previously featured them here. They had designer bags as part of their display, so it was only natural for me to visit their booth first. I inquired if the Chanel, Hermes, and Balenciaga on display were for sale. The sales guy took me by surprise when he told me that those bags were actually replicas and that this was their new concept for Gurgai'an. They'd fill up the fake Chanel with sweets and you will send it to family and friends as your kid's Gurgai'an. Hmm... Interesting! And how much would it cost per piece? A whooping KD 70.  Blump.. that was the sound of my jaw hitting the floor.
Moving on, I fell in love with 21 Carrots' serving plates made out of either glass or natural wood. Beautiful pieces if you're looking for something new for your home. The booth's display in general was amazing. 
Those natural wood vases looked stunning and they were priced at KD 45 I think..

I can't believe this is a fake Chanel!

My favorite glass plate from 21 Carrots

Lazurd Catering got my vote for the best food presentation in the exhibition. I wanted to sample everything but I decided to settle for their fresh raspberry juice which tasted so good.

Lazurd was previously mentioned on my blog here.  

Lazurd is located at Arraya complex.

If you can't live without chocolates, you might want to check out De Brand. Their booth was filled with unique chocolate everything! And they use the most uncommon ingredients as flavors. They don't have a store yet, but you can find out more about their offerings by calling  (+965) 9949-6222 or you can follow them on Twitter and Instagram @DeBrand_q8.

The booth of Beba’s Home Furnishing had a selection of quirky cool serving trays like the one shown above. They don't have a store yet and unfortunately I lost their contact details, but I'll try to find them somewhere.

You wouldn't expect November boutique's booth to look anything but pretty. They had a nice selection of photo albums and of course everything related to tableware, bouquets, and serving plates.

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...

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.
