ecru Goes to Africa

Today I passed by ecru's latest pop-up, ecru x Africa, which was held at Sadu House. I was thrilled when I first found out that they chose the much-ignoried continent for inspiration. Not only because my son is obsessed with african animals, especially elephants, but also I rarely come across African inspired home accessories and fashion that I really like. But now thanks to ecru, the lively African continent and its captivating prints, artifacts and designs are under the spotlight.

The first thing that I did was buy the elephant decorated notebooks for my sons with matching stickers, I wish I captured the moment when I handed the notebook and stickers to my elephant-obsessed son! He had the same expression I usually have when I buy something that I've been searching ages for! It was a priceless moment! Then I moved on to the loungewear and bought a bunch of caftans for my sisters, they were priced at KD 25 ONLY! And one Noon by Noor x ecru caftan for your truly. I wanted to buy the trays and serving plates too, but decided to keep them on my wish list for now, until I can figure out the space in my kitchen and declutter its contents. 

Check out some of my favorite ecru pieces in the photos below.

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...
