Bags of Style

I thought it would be refreshing to post about handbags this time instead of shoes and also to probe our common interest. Even though I don't obsess about bags as much as I do with shoes, I enjoy checking out the latest designs and the must-haves. However, the more in demand the bag is by the public eye, the less I seem to be interested in getting it. Let's have a quick look at several bags that I really liked during my last trip to Dubai. Unique design is the common factor to my selection, and I wouldn't hesitate to wear them season after season. Let's start with this oh-so-pretty and perfectly formed pink bow bag covered with floral details by the bows master Alexis Mabille, it makes such a perfect statement for occasions when you want to dress up.


Give your daytime outfits a chic flair with Pierre Hardy's tri-color shoulder bag in tones-down shades of pale yellow, pale orange and grey. 


Olympia le Tan clutches.... need I say more? 

And another love moment with Pierre Hardy clutch, oh and by the way, I have spotted all of the bags mentioned above at Symphony boutique in Dubai Mal.

I actually like this Stella McCartney shoulder bag. But for some reason I feel like it's something I'd get bored from after a couple of wears.


Tonya Hawkes creates some seriously eye-catching clutches with its black stud detailing around sides. LOVE it.

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...

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.

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?
