Playing Dress Up with POCA & POCA

The lovely team behind POCA & POCA were kind enough to send me two pieces from their Autumn/Winter 2012 collection, one of which was the golden pretty peplum top which was featured on my blog as part of POCA & POCA giveaway, previous post here. And the other piece was a pair of soft half velvet half suede two-tone blue pants.

It was fun trying to incorporate the pieces into my wardrobe. First I paired the peplum top with my J.W. Anderson for Topshop paisley print quilted skirt and my trio bag from Céline, as shown in the photo above, and I completed the look with my Miu Miu velvet flats.

For the second look shown below, I wore the POCA & POCA blue pants with my bordeaux colored cashmere knitted top from COS, a pair of Kylie western suede shoes by Isabel Marant , and my oversized snakeskin Marni clutch. I had to roll-up the pants because they were kind of long on me, and I liked how they ended up looking relaxed and chic at the same time.

In the last look, I chose to pair my peplum top with a pair of Chloé wool-jersey cropped pants (in luv with the centre-front hem slit! Adds such a character to a basic black pair of pants!), my Nicholas Kirkwood heels (similar here), a wool necklace which I bought from the Arasta Bazaar in Istanbul earlier this year, and my faithful Chanel Baluchon bag.

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in  Miu Miu   Boutiques throughout our region.

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.
