Event: The District Exhibition

If shopping around a Mall leaves you feeling saturated and dazed in the face of the many boutiques and merchandise asking to be bought, then you might want to check out the local fashion exhibitions being held from time to time around K-town. But we have to be picky here because some exhibitions are not worth your time or money. District's fashion exhibition thankfully does not fall under this criteria. I passed by their exhibition last night, where they displayed their latest A/W collection of casual chic clothes and funky accessories. They also had a collection of mobile straps (yes the pearl one too), boots accessories, bracelets, and necklaces all exclusively made by N by Najla Al Mishari, the super stylish girl whom I featured in my yesterday's post with the drop-dead gorgeous black skirt and heels. I was hoping to get that golden metallic vest they have featured on their instagram account, but of course it was sold out already! Bummer! The sweet and oh-so-pretty girls of District informed me that I can pre-order it. Phew! My luck is not that bad after all.

In addition to District's own designed line of clothes, they had new Korean and Australian brands by emerging designers. I loved the pieces, perfect for layering and for getting that casual chic look right. Scroll down for some highlights of the exhibition. Last night was their last day, but you can contact them if you wish to order something and they will deliver it to you. Their contact details can be found here.

Very unique necklace which can be twisted, tied in knots, and turned. It can be worn as a head band and a belt too! Check out the photo below.

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.
