Get to Know palmer//harding

Last September I was shopping in London's Dover Street Market, when the sales guy first introduced me to a new British brand called palmer//harding. I skimmed through the selection and instantly fell in love, I ended up buying a shirt, which at that time I thought it was a bit pricey for just a shirt, but I was on a holiday and a spending mood, so I bought it. Today, I wish I bought the entire rack! The quality of the shirt is ahhhh-maaay-zing and every time I wear it I get tons of compliments on it. It's the kind of shirt that stands the test of time, the kind you'd throw on if you're too lazy to think of what to wear, and best of all, its design is very unique. 

Having been described in the press as “the worlds most perfect shirtspalmer//harding is known best for the directional design and high quality of their shirting. According to the brand's site, the designers explore the idea of duality and contradictions in their work, elevating the ordinary to levels of modern sophistication. Their unique approach and aesthetic make palmer//harding a brand that appeals to the individual; unafraid to own a style completely unique to them. 

So imagine my excitement when I saw the same brand stocked at BLAQ Concept store a couple of months ago! I was over the moon! Remember this post? And remember THAT dress we all swooned over?? palmer//harding is  just a hop and a skip away. Heart heart!

You can shop a selection of palmer//harding's pieces at BLAQ Concept store, THESE featured pieces are not available yet BUT will be coming VERY SOON! Sonner than you think! *wink wink*. So stay tuned to find out how and when.

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...
