JNBY

Young girl, there's no need to feel down.

I said, young girl, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, young girl, 'cause JNBY is new to town
There's no need to be unhappy.

It's fun to shop at the J.N.B.Y.
It's fun to shop at the J.N.B.Y.

Ok my apologies to you (and the Village people!) I got carried away a bit, but it's been a while since I last seen a really cool boutique that won't break the bank! Allow me to introduce you to Shuwaikh's latest shopping destination JNBY, which stands for Just Naturally Be Yourself. Beautiful right?!

So I was invited by the super sweet owner Arwa Al Ghanim to have a first look at her recently open store. Basically, it's a contemporary design driven brand which first launched out of Hangzhou China, and now has over 600 stores worldwide. It offers a vast selection of apparel and accessories for women, kids, and men (well men is coming soon, actually this september so stay tuned!). 


Their women's selection makes any minimalist-loving heart skip a few fluttering beats. I can easily describe the designs in 4 words, functional, innovative, timeless, and extremely wearable! Think COS but with limited quantities, so you avoid these "who wore it better" situations, especially that we live in a small community. And the best part? The most expensive piece won't cost you more than KD 50! Total financial bliss! As for the kid's selection, it's more on the fun and colorful side, and can easily be mixed and matched with at least 2-4 items in-store (or even your kids wardrobe!). I have to worn you though, their sizes are a tad bit small (for women at least), but that's shouldn't be a problem if you're a fat-free lady. I bought 5 pieces from the store already, and planning on a re-visit very soon! Scroll down to get a quick view of the merchandise and the store. 

Big thanks to Arwa for your warm welcome and to Sara Al Abdul Kareem for the lovely presentation and modeling. ;)

J.N.B.Y.is located at Shuwaikh's Lily Center. Opening hours are from 10am to 1pm and from 4:30pm to 9:30pm.

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...

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.
