Selfless Good Gift – Part I


People who are close to me know that when I look for gift, I’m always looking for a gift that is unique, special, and creative. And of course it helps a lot if it doesn’t blow your budget. So, I have found the perfect place to go to, the museum shop of Dar Al Athar Al Islamiyyah. It offers an assortment of gift ideas to give your friends, especially out-of-towners, at great prices.  Aaaand what’s also nice about these gifts is that all proceeds from the sale are used to support programs of Dar Al Athar Al Islamiyyah. So in a way you are supporting your community.

So, I have decided to write two posts about the things you can buy as gifts or even for yourself.  Of course the first post is dedicated to fashion jewelry. The pieces featured in the first photos (pendant, rings, and earrings) have to be my most favorite items in the shop. They’re called Nubia collection and my guess is that they are designed to resemble houses in Nuba. The whole set is priced at KD 30 and I think this collection would look ideal worn with your Ramadan Caftans.






Dar Al Athar Al Islamiyyah’s Museum Shop is located at Abdullah al-Salem School, Maidan Hawalli, Near al Sha’ab Leisure Park. To learn more about Dar Al Athar, please click here.

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.
