BCBG This And BCBG That

Back in the good old days, I used to be obsessed with BCBG. My Eid attire had to be BCBG, my evening gown? BCBG, My shoes? you got it, BCBG. Now that my sense of style has matured and there is a bigger selection and wider choices within the local market and online, I'm not as obsessed (thank god!! I wouldn't want to be stuck in a style rut!!).

Nevertheless, I still check out BCBG's boutique at Arraya Complex every now and then. Mind you, the BCBG selection in Kuwait is not very impressive. Sometimes I have the feeling that the items on display are 4 seasons old. And sometimes, when they do display the new collection, the common sizes are already sold out even though I only came into the store an hour late from the time they had the new collection on display. And while we're at it, why are they selling their items more expensive than their original prices?

Anyways, here are some of the items that I liked from their Autumn/Winter collection:




This dark grey unconventionally shaped blazer/jacket is just the right thing to carry your look from day to night. I can imagine Mary Kate & Ahsley wearing the same blazer for an occasion teamed with their studded Christian louboutin ankle boots, a loose t-shirt, and a pair of dark skinny jeans. The Jack is sold for KD 158.



We're always on the look out for the next Little Black Dress. The perfect thing to wear for a small dinner. Pair it with huge golden accessories. The dress is sold for KD 103.



This is probably the only decent item from their almost non-existent Runway Fall Collection. I loved the details on the dress, it must have taken them ages for the dress to be completed. Wear the dress with colored opaque tights and platforms to give it a modern edgy look. The dress is sold for KD 182.

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...

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?

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in  Miu Miu   Boutiques throughout our region.
