ON Motcomb

Last week AlOthman boutique has announced the launch of its sister store in London ON Motcomb. The boutique is located within walking distance of Harvey Nichols and right next door to one of my favorite and the most delicious deli/cafe in London Ottolenghi, which I have previously posted about here

According to ON Motcomb's website and instagram account, the bespoke space offers an exclusive personal shopping experience and is focused on selling luxury evening gowns and cocktail dresses by the biggest names in fashion including Balmain, Carolina Herrera, Elie Saab, Marchesa and more. They will also be offering exclusive pieces commissioned each season from Erdem, Giambattista Valli Couture, Marios Schwab and Zac Posen, whom by the way is not stocked anywhere else in London! Shocking I know! It makes sense to have a new destination for shopping focused entirely on eveningwear  in London because honestly whenever I shop for an evening gown at department stores, their selection is either limited or sells out fast because of the footflow, not to mention the distractions of shopping every corner on any department store whether the beauty section, contemporary, or accessories. 

As I skimmed through the boutique's instagram posts, I instantly fell in love with its minimal yet rich monotone interior, the wallpaper or the tiles covering the walls looked exceptional with its 3D effect. Apparently, the interior was designed by the talented Bahraini interior designer Ammar Basheir, whose previous work included the interior of AlOthman Bahrain, Plums restaurant at Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Bahrain, and Bahrain's National Theatre. And how cute are these french dogs silver statues surrounding the mannequin? Hmm.. shopping at ON Motcomb and then grab a quick bite at Ottolenghi? London anyone?? YES PLEASE!

ON Motcomb is located at 11-12 Motcomb St in London. Follow @onmotcomb to get their latest updates.

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...
