Dear Confashion: Find Me a Dress!


A friend of mine needed some help in finding the perfect wedding-guest-dress. So after researching the one-stop shop for online luxury, aka net-a-porter, I have picked my current three favourites, From left to right:

I think a lot of number of people who get invited to weddings in Kuwait stopped looking for over the top gowns and dresses, they look for something simple and chic and the same time, especially this season where looking minimalist is all the rage thanks to Celine and Chloe. Plus the make up for that full-on simplicity with OTT and statement making jewellery. Unless you're a close relative of the hosted wedding/party, then only you'd probably want an OTT gown. :)

My favorite is the Gucci dress. It's plain yet has a kind of edge to it.

Well, I personally don't think I would end up spending THAT much money on a dress to attend a wedding of an individual I hardly even know. Unless you have deep pockets, then that's a different story. I think for a middle class individual such as myself it would be more REALISTIC for me to go to BCBG or somewhere similar to purchase a nice dress. Like you said, it if it were the wedding of a relative, then investing a high amount of money on a dress would make sense, but not for just "another" wedding. It just doesn't make sense to invest that kind of money on one of those high end designer dresses.

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?
