Preview of Isabel Marant Pour H&M

Today I was invited to the private viewing of the highly anticipated H&M collection Isabel Marant pour H&M. Honestly when I first heard the news of the collaboration, I wasn't THAT excited about it plus I imagined it to be, dare I say, of poor quality. My visit today to the preview event had completely changed that delusional image in my mind. The quality of the pieces were superb! I tried on some of the knits and jackets on display and their fit was perfect! Isabel Marant managed to recreate one of her strongest pieces of previous collections to be accessible to the masses. Hippie-chic tie-dye tops and denim pants, cropped and colored leather pants with lace-up details, Parisian chic oversized jackets,  slouchy and fringed boots, and shabby chic knits. I suddenly had a strong urge to walk away with some of the knits I have tried on, wishful thinking.

The collection also included kids wear, which was news to me, their pieces are really cool especially the shoes shown in the photo below. And of courses it included some really nice pieces for men as well, I'm already eyeing some pieces from the men's section too. I really hate it when i get sucked in a highstreet collaboration! It makes me feel restless and over-buy! I hope this time I'll make smarter choices.

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?
