Ninas de Papa

Unless you've been hibernating in your underground bunker and being anti-social media for the past few weeks, you probably have heard about the hottest hair news sweeping K-town, that is floral headbands by local brand Ninas de Papa

Ninas de Papa design over-the-top and oh-so-pretty floral hair bands using artificial flowers made of high quality materials such as silk. They're all handmade by the designers themselves Sarah Alabdulkareem and Nora Al Amer. So you can actually tell that the hairbands are a true labour of love. 

A couple of weeks back, my friend and I paid them a visit at their studio. I was amazed by the beauty of the hairbands up-close and we immediately started trying on every sample they had. I know for sure we gave poor Nora a headache with our indecisiveness and over-excitement. Plus we had a hard time deciding on what we liked the most. They all looked so pretty!  

According to the designers, they were initially inspired by one of their Norwegian friend who wore a fresh flower hairband to a wedding, so the girls decided to give it a shot and try designing their own. Their first resort collection includes seven different hairbands inspired by seven of their close friends including hip fashion blogger and DJ Bip Ling. If you're interested to get your hands on one or two (or three!), then make sure to follow AlOthman boutique on their facebook, twitter, or instagram to find out when it will hit the shop floor, as Ninas de Papa Resort collection will be exclusively sold at AlOthman Boutique.

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...

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?
