Egyptian Exhibtion at Kuwait International Fairground

I've seen a lot of coverage about The Egyptian Exhibition at Kuwait International Fairground in Mishref by fellow bloggers and instagrammers, plus my aunt kept raving about it, so I decided to pay it a visit and see what the fuss is all about. First of all, the amount of cotton caftans I've seen by the many booth participating there was really insane and kind of repetitive. However, they all shared one main quality. Everything was SO CHEAP!! In value that is. I mean you could buy 4 cotton casual caftans for KD 20 only!! Mind you, not all had nice designs, but if you browsed hard, you might find a style or two that looked quite decent. Actually I was quite impressed by a couple of booths there. On was a booth for Syrian merchandise, which I ended up buying 4 caftans from mainly because I'm in love with hand embroidered cross-stitching (check out the photos above), and an African booth which sold all sorts of African accessories and nick-knacks. In fact, the Kenyan sales lady was so happy with my purchase of charm (shown in the last photo), she was like "Thank you for supporting Africa". How sweet!?>! I took a photo of her necklace, I love this colorful beading, so perfect for the summer!

The exhibition will be on until 14th or 15th of July I think. Go there for something fun and different.

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...
