Rushing through Hala Ramadan Expo II

I finally managed to pass by Hala Ramadan Expo II which is currently being held at 360 Mall. And because I got stuck in traffic for 45 minutes and had another appointment later in the evening, I had to leave the Expo early and I didn't get the chance to see all the booths that I wanted to check like Aila bags, Raghad collection, Pieces by Farah, and AnaKatarina Eco Gioielli, I previously featured her booth here when I lusted after her wooden and diamond bracelets. Sigh!

However, I did spend the majority of my time at Al Mubarak Center's booth, because that sparkly bracelet encrusted with crystals/quartz stopped me in my tracks. Very Pamela Love/Chanel-esque! I loved it! And they had matching hoop earrings too. Actually the booth was filled with gorgeous and unique accessories like statement wide belts, jewelry, evening clutches, hair bands and more. Scroll down for some of my favorite pieces...

The Hala Ramadan Expo II will be on until Wednesday 25th April. Opening hours are from 10:00am to 10:00 pm.

I think this necklace is by Maryam Keyhani, whom I previously featured here... but I'm not quite sure.

Gorgeous belts in exotic skin and colorful feathers, perfect to accentuate your waist when wearing loose dresses or caftans.

The belt that I liked the most was this one...
Remember this leather quilted clutch by Sarah's Bag which I've featured previously here? It's even prettier up-close, and it came in a lovely shade of dusty pink. Price tag? KD 250.

Fann's booth also had a lovely selection of modern home accessories with middle eastern twist, beautifully decorated with Arabic calligraphy. You can follow them on instagram on  @fann_.

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?
