Perfect in Peplum

I always liked peplums. To me, they hide a multitude of sins and sometimes give the illusion of a tiny waist, if you're not already blessed with an hourglass/pear shape body figure that is. I remember buying a peplum top a couple of years ago and I wasn’t sure if this trend would stick around. But after seeing the A/W 2012 fashion runways. I'm contemplating whether to invest in this peplum top too. I spotted these frugal finds at, where else but Zara of course (surprise!), and their necklines are embellished with geometric shaped beads and shiny crystals (KD 24.500 and KD 35.500), to go with this season's opulence trend where designers used jewels and beads on everything from trench coats, dresses, to military jackets. On that note, tell me how would you wear your peplum top?

definitely with a pencil skirt ... I think you need something slim underneath to balance the shape .. Those are beautiful ; I'm a great Zara fan !

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...
