Coya

Planning to visit London anytime soon? You must try Coya for dinner, that is if you haven't already! Coya is a Peruvian restaurant in Piccadilly. The food was finger-licking good! I especially loved the potatoes cookies with black truffles (shown in this photo). I must say it is one of the best dinner I have ever had in London, that said, I felt the staff were a little too keen to get us out of the restaurant, and then I found out that they have a 2-hours turnaround tables policy, which explained why the food (and ourselves) were rushed in! And I'm not sure if it was me or my imagination, but I felt that they seated the guests by their race! Coz all the Arabs were seated at the far corner of the basement. I hope I'm wrong though!

I forgot to mention that Coya is also available in Dubai, I haven't been to it yet but I've heard that it's just as great if not better.

you're not wrong at all, popular places in london have this unwritten policy of seating all the arabs in the far end corner where they aren't seen. and if you're a khaleeji showered in perfume god help you they may make you sit in the toilet.

and again you're right with coya's 2 hr seating policy its applied to the dubai branch as well which i think is very rude especially if you changed your mind and wanted to order more items or dessert.

but i have to disagree with you over the food its good but forgetable, next time you're in london check out chotto matte

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?
