Coco & Zoey

Let me describe to you a scenario, you know that feeling you get when you randomly stumble upon a small shop while on vacation in NY's meatpacking district, or in Antibes, filled with so many goodies by unknown designers? That's exactly how I felt when I  not-so-randomly first stepped foot inside Coco & Zoey

Don't be fooled by its small space; this Shuwaikh-chic shop is well-curated and delivers an unexpected mix of established and up-and-coming designers for women who want to avoid high-end/magazine editorial looks and love lots of colors and prints. The racks are brimming with printed summery pieces for casual outings and dressier occasions. The accessories are more on the playful side and sourced from different parts of the globe too! Think Summer espadrilles all the way from georgia, tribal inspired fur-covered sandals from South Africa, tie-dye bags, and bohemian ethnic chic jewelry. Scroll down for more eye candy.

Coco & Zoey is located in Lily Center, souk 15, in Shuwaikh and they're open Saturdays to Thursdays from 11am to 1pm and from 3pm to 9pm. 

These colorful cotton seperates are what every min-n-unmatch loving girl dream of! Of course my size was sold out.... what was I thinking :\ 

The budget-friendly book clutch! They're actually cute and priced at KD 50 more or less 

And quite spacious too!

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?
