My Version of Art Dubai

Since I didn't get the chance to go to Art Dubai this year, I had my own version of Art Dubai after dining at La Petite Maison restaurant in DIFC, Dubai. Even though I have been to DIFC before months ago when I went to Caramel, it was my first time to explore the well constructed area. I didn't know there were so many art galleries all located next to each other. Unfortunately, they were all closed. Nevertheless, that didn't stop me from snapping pictures here and there of some of the amazing art pieces on the window displays. And look what I've spotted on Opera Gallery's window display, the same mesmerizing mannequin which I saw at the gallery's branch in Dubai mall but instead of being covered in pencils, it was completely covered in jigsaw puzzles! AMAZING! Scroll down to check out some pieces from other art galleries which I unfortunately forgot their names (oops!).

A funny installation in an out-of-place surroundings! Loved it!

This looked kind of spooky! I actually thought that this was the gallery's security guy. Then I realized after a closer inspection that this was a wax figure.

Creatively designed benches were on display at DIFC. They were part of UAE-based hip boutique s*uce benches project

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?
