Quirky Cool Marni

It's exciting to finally see pre-fall collections hitting the shop floors of a couple of boutiques around K-town. Marni's merchandise in the newly opened and smaller location at 360 Mall, right next to the brand's previous location, was mainly displaying clothes and accessories from the pre-fall collection. And in case you're wondering, the S/S 2012 collection is currently on sale and is being displayed at the Pop up boutique next to the mall's exhibition hall.

Now back to Marni's pre-fall selection in store, nothing makes you stand out from the crowd in quirky cool designs quite like Marni. For pre-fall, don’t expect Consuelo Castiglioni to deviate from her signature approach of mixing bold graphic prints, clashing colors, embellished statement accessories, and muddle-it-all-up way of dressing. It's what makes the brand unique and we don't see or hear her cult of followers complaining. If you know how to master the true look of Marni, you will love the clothes and accessories on display. Here's a taste of what you'll find in store.

Beautiful statement necklaces for your caftans, dresses, and day-to-night dressing

I loved this printed cardigan and its weight/texture felt perfect for our up coming winter weather

Cute earrings with fluorescent details... and even though they look heavy, I have tried them on and they were very light on the ears.

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...
