In the Navy




Extremely popular almost every resort is the classic Nautical trend. I like the combo of red, navy, and white. There's something preppy about those colors. Anyhow, the shoes collection at Chanel Boutique in Salhiya is the easiest way to pay a nod to the nautical trend. This cruise, the brand presented the classic white and navy (or red) stripes in a quirky laced-up peep-toe boots which almost appealed to my taste if it wasn't for the huge interlocked C's. And I wasn't too thrilled with the espadrille version either. But maybe if I pair the boots with white sailor-style wide pants, the C's wouldn't look as bad?

I agree with you that the combination of colors is nice and that it looks preppy. But those laced up boots look garish and I'm a little surprised at Chanel for creating such a thing. The flats are not bad though.Still, I say buy funkier stuff from designers that are funky (Manolo's, Nicholas Kirkwood,Sergio Rossi, etc) and buy classic stuff from designers that do classic better. Chanel simply does classic better.

Every season Chanel surprises us with some creations that might not appeal to all. But honestly, that's what I like about them, the fact that they look weird. I mean To me, it's like a challenge on how to make them look cool. And I love such challenges ;) Don't always work though! :P

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?
