Event: Ralph Lauren's Ricky World Tour in Kuwait

Last Tuesday, Zainab Al Abdulrazzaq hosted an event at Ralph Lauren boutique in Prestige, the Avenues, to celebrate the launch of the newest “Soft,” “Mini” and “Chain” variations on its iconic Ricky Bag. On that occasion, Ralph Lauren exhibited a spectacular “Giant Ricky Bag”, that's 150cm wide x 122.3cm tall x 78.5cm deep and weighs a whooping 120kg to be more precise. And to put it more into perspective, over four times the size of the Soft Ricky. 

Taking cues from the Soft Ricky Bag, its beautifully crafted archetype, the Giant Ricky took a team of four expert artisans approximately one month to create, and is beautifully outfitted with all of the Soft Ricky’s authentic details, from Italian-made leather construction to its key bell, grommets and functioning lock.

Naturally I chose to wear Ralph Lauren pieces, so I picked a cotton knitted dress with gorgeous leather fringed detail, which I wore as a skirt, and paired it with a Ralph Lauren sleeves high-low top, and an oversized silk blazer, all from the Black line of the brand. I instantly fell in love with the fringes, they just flew from side to side as I walked, and made me want to twirl the whole time! Proof? Check out the photo above. Caught on camera, and twirled a bit when there was no one around. Guilty of twirling.

The vibe was perfect! Cool and easy going crowd, I also liked the fact that I was able to browse the selection at ease without the pressure of socializing and mingling. In addition to my obsession with Ralph Lauren's fringed dress, I fell in love with the mini Ricky bag, the leather was as soft as butter! They only had two colors in store, the white and the baby blue pictured above. But They're getting more colors soon, perfect for the Travel season, and last but not least, I loved the velvet slippers which you can customize with your initials, they cost around KD 245 and take up to 8 weeks to be delivered to you, now would be the ideal time to pre-order them for the coming season. I should have placed an order during the event, as anyone who purchased anything during the event got the chance to enter a draw to win two-first class tickets to New York to attend Ralph Lauren's fashion show (front row seat of course) and a three night stay at the PLAZA Hotel. I wonder who won! Anyhow, scroll down for some highlights of the events and some style spotting.

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...

My Birkin... My Pride & Joy

Birkin ... Birkin .. Birkin ... you mesmerize me.. I'm so addicted to yoooooou . sitting galmorously in my closet is my hard earned blue Hermes Birkin Bag. To own it is like the ultimate fashionista dream. I look at it lovingly and think to myself " daaaamn ! you are one hell of a lucky girl! I shall protect you from the evil eye 'till the day I die ". My friend asked me once why am I so obsessed with my Birkin . I can list 100 reasons why. But just to be short & sweet, it's exclusive, expensive ( I saw a Birkin in vogue with diamonds on it's hardware. How much do you think it costs? ), it's hand crafted , it takes 2 whole weeks of dedication to produce one, and it's THE bag everyone in the fashion world admires. During a recent visit to The Comfort Shoe at Mariam Complex , I came across a Birkin look alike ( shown in the pictures above ). I have to admit, from afar the bag actually looked good. So I went in to check it out. And THANK GO...
