What to Look for at Aïshti

So you're probably aware that the Lebanese luxury department chain store Aïshti is now open at the Avenues. Honestly, I was slightly disappointed with the selection of clothes. However, I there are some items worth checking/shopping for:
  1. Affordable nice collection of fur coats and capes by french brand Yves Salomon similar to the ones featured here
  2. Alice + Olivia's tuxedo embroidered jackets and retro-inspired dresses & tops
  3. Isabel Marant's effortlessly cool tops and casual chic jackets
  4. Burberry Prorsum painfully high platform heels, fabulous to wear but impossible to walk in
What caught your eye at Aïshti?

Some piece were between the range of KD 500 and KD 740, so for a fur it is reasonable..:)

The Boudoir

hate juicy too:P..2000kd is VERY reasonable for fur..the real deal cost more than 5000 and im talking about the cost of a decade ago..now its even pricier and more rare..but still if it was fake but of a good good designer label, 2000 is really good i guess

my exotic deadstock furs cost no more than 100 euros each or less. France & China both have lovely furs at low cost, 2000+ up to 5000 is insane and out of my budget- live within your means; not your daddy's

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.

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?
