Event: Avenue32XTheOverdressed


Last Saturday I missed going to an exclusive shopping event hosted by Dana Al Khalifa, of TheOverdressed.com, and online retailer Avenue32.com in Bahrain's Green Bar’s headquarters.

Roberta Benteler, founder of Avenue32.com, explained to shoppers the novel concept of Avenue32.com which came to her when she started working with a young designer to gain experience in fashion. The concept for Avenue 32 is that it's a platform where designers can showcase their product in their own ‘shop in a shop’, accompanied by editorial.

Dana was dressed in Tanya Taylor while Roberta was dressed in Giles Deacon. The black brass rails were lined with the designs of JJS Lee, Charlie Brear, and Regina Pyo to name a few. The shoe ladder display was scattered with the sleek lines of Paul Andrew and the stunning designs of Alexander Lewis for Manolo Blahnik. The accessory section was draped in Degano and Elsa Marotta scarves, Venessa Arizaga necklaces and Lena Erziak clutches.

In the end, no one of course left empty handed, their giveaway bags contained a much coveted 10% discount card from Avenue32.com, Green Bar Body Oil, and Overdressed engraved William Di Carlo almond confetti all the way from Milano, because they know how to always end on a sweet note.

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...

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.
