Shopping at Beymen

And from taking a culture trip in Istanbul to taking a shopping trip to Beymen, one of Istanbul's main luxury fashion destination, and your one-stop-shop to the best in designer brands in fashion and beauty. It felt like a mini version of Harvey Nichols, very well-curated selection of designer brands, the ground floor was dedicated to bags, accessories, and beauty stuff. And there was an entire floor dedicated for shoes and handbags, yup total bliss! As soon as I found out that they stocked Isabel Marant, I immediately  asked about their sneakers for a friend of mine. The sales guy laughed and was like 'Honey you're way too late, the sneakers sold out in a couple of hours', believe me! I'm not surprised! So I headed to their pret-a-porter section in the basement where they had new arrivals as well as some items from the sale. I fell in love with this on-sale hippie-style embroidered leather jacket from Dsquared2. It looks like as if you're wearing a tribal-inspired vest over a leather jacket a la Isabel Marant style. A genius way to perfect that layering look. Chck out the details on the front and back. Such a statement piece.

Two pieces from opposite sides of the spectrum caught my attention at the same time. From the over embroidered jacket to this gorgeous minimal vest by Maison Martin Margiela. I love MMM's signature tag o the back of the vest.

'Cause I gotta have faith faith faithaaa! Structured bag by Jil Sander.

Bekket who?! I'm loving these Céline hair covered sneakers in dark forest green.. my new obsession.

Fringed boots by Isabel Marant, I prefer the black or grey ones though...

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.
