Colorful Cocktail

It's March already! And you know what that means? It's time to shop for the perfect dress for the weddings and party season coming ahead. And this time, forget about boring blacks and gloomy greys. Colors were injected in dresses in so many ways creating a beautiful mix of unique prints and clashing colors.  Let's start this post with my all time favorite designer, Erdem. The long sleeves embroidered dress is my ultimate favorite piece from the cruise collection. It's unbelievably well-cut and I bet you won't find it anywhere else online. Perfect for small weddings and formal parties. Price tag? KD 1,419...

Prabal Gurang gave an artistic scribbles to the white strapless fitted dress with an interesting mix of ruched and tiered details.  Price tag? KD 1,229
Giambattista Valli animal print linen and chiffon dress retails for around KD 750
This dress looked borderline boring on the hanger but when I tried it on, it looked beyond beautiful. It has a full shape design, similar to Christopher Kane's cruise designs. The multi-colored dress is by Michael Angel and comes with an irresistible and very reasonable price tag of KD 305.
I liked the artistic details on this Matthew Williamson dress more than the dress itself. The dress was priced at KD 759 but now it's on 50% discount.

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?
