My Stay at Armani Hotel

Although I've heard more negative reviews than positive about Armani Hotel Dubai, I'm so glad I chose to stay in it during my trip to Dubai. The interior was a pure reflection of Giorgio Armani’s timeless sophistication and minimal elegance. It is the place to be if you want to be spoiled and pampered! The staff were very attentive and courteous at all times. My room was so elegant, with sliding walls on each side of the living room to reveal either the built-in closets, TV, and access my bedroom. And the best part of my room is that you get to have a remote control that not only controls the TV but also, the curtains, lights, and even the door! So if you're too lazy to open the door, all you have to do is see who's knocking by looking at your TV screen,  press the remote control button, et voila, the door opens. Here’s a quick tour of the hotel and my bedroom...

Fresh and lovely bouquet
The view from my room on the 39th floor. What a breathtaking view from the top!

More Armani flower arrangements scattered all around the hotel's lobby
The entrance to the 39th floor... a world of minimalist elegance
Armani Spa and pool.. total peace, quiet, and tranquility 
I was amazed to see everything in the hotel was branded Armani, even the Jam! If you must know, the taste was mediocre. However the setting of the Mediterraneo restaurant overlooking the Dubai Fountain, which I tried for breakfast, was really nice.  Food was OK, nothing special.. Oh! and the same applied to their dine-in room service.
Naturally, there was a small boutique inside the hotel selling Armani accessories. This necklace got my attention and got me into trouble too! Apparently I wasn't allowed to take any photos... a little too late!
And this is a photo of the Armani Ristorante which was absolutely delicious. Everything was perfect, the food, the setting, the presentation (art!!) the service. I loved it!

The Mille-feuille Mushroom was heavenly...Yum! Just look at the presentation!

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?
