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.

Chanel Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection

I can't remember if I shared my views about Chanel's Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection on my blog or not, but I thought I'd share with you some photos of the pieces on display now at Chanel Boutique in Kuwait, Prestige in the Avenues and Salhiya Complex. I wasn't too crazy about the clothes. However, I did like some of the bags which had pompoms and tassels on them, as well as the gigantic pearl clutch. I also loved the Moroccan-inspired pointy flats and the silver jewelry adorned with coins and crescents. Of course the shoes were sold out in my size and I wasn't so crazy about the patterned ones. I LOVED the flap bag with Pom Poms, but it was above my budget. Overall the collection felt more Moroccan than Dubai-an. I wish if they have incorporate more of the our gulf region's culture into the designs. Oh And I added to this post photos of Chanel's milk carton shaped python clutch bag embellished with a CC signature. They're not part of the Dubai colle

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?

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare.  This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
