Confashions From Kuwait

  What's the first buy you make to get into the mood for summer? A pair of sandals! Today, theOutnet showcases fabulous flats to show off in the sunshine. Antik Batik, Sigerson Morrison and Giuseppe Zanotti are just a few of the designers to snap up at up to 60% off .

It's studs madness at Givenchy boutique located in Salhiya complex. And even though I read some negative reviews on these bags, honestly when I saw them up close and personal I couldn't help but fall in love with the airport-security-check-unfriendly studded collection which consists of a hobo bag, women's wallets,  mini messenger bag, and silver studded duffel style bag with hand and shoulder straps (my fave) which also comes in two sizes, the one featured here is the smaller size.  price point they're really reasonable for a high-end designer brand (probably because they're made out of nylon) I think the most expensive was around KD 250+. And if the fully studded nylon bags ain't your flavaaa, then check out the black studded Tinhan Hobo leather Bag, where studs were used to decorate the edge of the bag only. 

The impressive creatures that form the scenario of the Alice in Wonderland film were artistically sculptured in gold and diamonds in an extraordinary collection developed by H.Stern in partnership with Disney .  The coloured mushrooms, a bird from the topiary garden, the Cheshire cat and even the Jabberwocky dragon were the elements chosen by the Jeweler’s creative team.  The rings are handcrafted in gold and finished with coloured enamel and diamonds, all available in two sizes  - “human dimension” and “extraordinary dimension”, which are enormous sculptures that go beyond anything known in terms of jewelery, measuring up to 10cm in height. H.Stern’s five creations, each one in two sizes, will be available worldwide only by special order.

The new Versace Home collection was unveiled recently at the Milano Design Week and my favorite piece is this statement making and breaking Sunburst crystal round table. Its base is composed of 14 elements in chromed metal that conveys the strength of a solar explosion. Now that's something I'd love to have in our home.

Jelly sandals may bring some bad fashion faux-pas memories that makes you flinch at the thought of wearing them again but I find these Jelly flats by Jimmy Choo so cool for the beach or the pool. No guarantees on  not getting blisters though. I like the use of the studs on both pairs, they’re not only on-trend, they'll also make lounging at the beach/pool a breeze. Saint Tropez, here I come! I think you’re ready for these jellies..

FINALLY!  Jonathan Saunders’s new Spring/Summer collection has hit K-town and what’s more refreshing than the sight of frosted pastels and candy colored dresses in the most fashion forward designs. I’m head over heels over the cocktail dresses shown here which are currently available at Villa Moda Al Fanar . And I’m especially in love with the two dresses decorated with thick strings all over I have tried them on and if you’re the type who won’t compromise comfort, then this dress is for you.  Oh! And they're in very limited quantities. 

OK, so the unthinkable has happened, there’s a wedding that I just found out that I’m invited to and I have nothing to wear (Okaaayy, I do have a couple of dresses but after seeing the mind blowing pieces on s/s runways I’m yearning for something new, and with this statement I can just see my mom rolling her eyes with a disapproved look on her face (I love you too mom). Of course it’s only natural that my first destination would be Al Othman . So let’s see, what options do we have here? OK, Focus… ONE DRESS only. Hmm.. One dress?!?! Seriously?! With such statement making pieces, it is highly unlikely to leave the shop with one dress!!! Sorry for the bad quality pics, look them up on Style.com for better quality. Let's start, I'm in love with this Behnaz Sarafpour's white lace sleeveless dress decorated with strips of yellow ribbons. Roksanda Ilincic 's dress is beautifully decorated with square shaped sequins in different sizes only on the front side. The back is co...
