Always MUSE-ing

Aaaah... I love it when Al Othman's new season collections start rolling in, and the store gets a face lift with it's creative installation, and most of all, when the door bell rings, and the post man delivers my MUSE! Let's start with the in-store installation, I loved it more than last season's! It had all the right ingredients of an attention grabbing in-store display.  A little bit of fashion, a little bit of art, a little bit of design, and a whole lot of creativity. The concept behind it is to showcase different fashion designer studios and workshops. I personally felt like being at the set of Project Runway. Well done Project Al Othman! Can't wait to see next season's installation. 


Loved these sketches... I wish Al Othman made tissue paper out of them to wrap our purchases with.

And did you get your copy of MUSE? While skimming through the lookbook, I was excited to see some of my favorite designers will be stocked soon at Al Othman this season. such as Preen and Jonathan Saunders.  Also it seems that they will be launching an iPad app sometime soon this month and a Bridal Boutique at Mariam Complex. That should be something exciting to look forward to as well. Now, If you'll excuse me, gotta study my MUSE and take my picks for the new season.

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?
