Qirdala

Qirdala is a new jewelry boutique founded by Kuwaiti entrepreneurs Dhari Al Nafisi and Nasser AlBader and opened at Al Tilal Complex last week. I was invited to the launch and managed to take these photos of the interior and the jewelry on display. They're currently exclusively stocking a Greek jewelry brand called Apriati, which means strong desire for having beautiful possessions. The brand Apriati, is the brainchild of two young Greek designers, Athina Axioti and Themis Bobolas, both educated in Italy. 

The jewelry on display were designed to be worn casually to add a bit of luxury to your day-to-day outfits. And the designs were a mix of gold, diamonds and other precious stones, complemented with unexpected materials like silk cords and leather. My favorite piece was the leather bracelet decorated with precious stones and diamonds which you will find a photo of as you scroll down. 

As for the interoir, it looked beyond amazing. I loved how the jewelry was displayed on open drawers and the way a party of lightbulbs were dangling from the ceiling. Beautiful! The interior was designed by the talented Kuwaiti intrior designer Yousef Al Ibrahim, whom I have previously featured on my blog 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...
