What Bags to Buy this Season

As the new season starts unfolding in shops, I frequently get asked by friends and readers about what bags to buy now. And even though the "it" bag phenomenon may not be as popular as it used to be, actually it's somewhat dead, but it nice to update your look with a statement accessory be it a bag or a pair of shoes or a necklace. And this season, we have a plethora of bags to choose from which fits different budgets and lifestyles. In addition to Chanel's Boy bag, Phillip Lim's Pashli bag, Givenchy's Antigona bag/clutch, The Row's box  baguette, Fendi's 2jours bag or baguette, DVF's limited edition box clutches, and Proenza Schouler PSII satchel, I have complied a list of bags that I saw during my trip in London which I loved, starting with heartbreaking Tom Ford's Natalia bag. The bag is even more stunning up close! It came in three different sizes, the mini one shown in the photo below, and it should have came with a warning sign too!! The bag is sooo unrealistically expensive!!!! The one shown above was priced around nine thousand pounds!   

Givenchy's Antigona bag.. the only drawback is how heavy it is!

I think I'm over the Celine luggage bag, but this shade of cobalt blue is just  so irresistible...

Valentino crystal-embellished leather shoulder lock bag looked divine, take a closer look here

Proenza Schouler PSI bag, I like the contrast of red and black, you can find similar here

Mulberry Maisie bag which I have previously featured here. You can find it at the brand's boutique in the Avenues Phase II selling for KD 495. Or you can purchase it online from here.

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...
