My Little Black Dress..and white.. and pink










This year's S/S collection witnessed the return of the short dress especially for the evening. I just love wearing dresses. They're easy to wear, they're fun, they're comfortable (well almost), they’re a little bit 50's & 60's, and they are fabulous. I hope this trend will stay for winter 2008.
During a recent visit to Al-Othman at Mariam Complex, I saw an amazing variety of evening short dresses, which gives you the opportunity to sail through summer nights, draped in some of the most effortlessly designed yet stylish and comfortable short dresses. And the good news? They're on sale! 30% off. Here are my favourites listed as shown on the photos above:
  1. Vera Wang Balloon dress in blush pink. It was KD 898 and now they're selling it for KD 629. It's still expensive but I loved the embroidered detail on the pockets and the color is so romantic.
  2. Erdem White lace dress with black stones. Was KD 1,395, now KD 977. Overpriced but I liked the lacy frils and pleats.
  3. Erdem black lace & organza dress with white lining and black embroidery. Was KD 1,498, now KD 1,049. This looked gorgeous when I tried it on, but still overpriced.
  4. And last but not least, Giles white dress with a cute printed bow. Was KD 487 and now they're selling it for KD 341. Amazing and I would have bought it instantly if it was my size. Giles was a big hit this season and I loved all of his dresses. Too bad they didn't have some of the runway dresses which I fell in love with.

So are you in need of a short evening dress?

Not all the fashion show looks are always put in production.
If they did not have it no one else did

I never knew that! Thanks for the info... Another reason to spend at Alothman.

What if the customer was able to prove that an items at Alothman is actually more expensive than, let's say... Selfridges?

i feel sorry for you --- so materialistic and shallow. How you use your time is to spend your daddy's money? Do you do anything of value or substance in this life, besides shopping? Donate your time to charities? Help youth? Or simply fill your closet with overpriced items to use a few times? Get a life. God does not like vanity.

Chanel Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection

I can't remember if I shared my views about Chanel's Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection on my blog or not, but I thought I'd share with you some photos of the pieces on display now at Chanel Boutique in Kuwait, Prestige in the Avenues and Salhiya Complex. I wasn't too crazy about the clothes. However, I did like some of the bags which had pompoms and tassels on them, as well as the gigantic pearl clutch. I also loved the Moroccan-inspired pointy flats and the silver jewelry adorned with coins and crescents. Of course the shoes were sold out in my size and I wasn't so crazy about the patterned ones. I LOVED the flap bag with Pom Poms, but it was above my budget. Overall the collection felt more Moroccan than Dubai-an. I wish if they have incorporate more of the our gulf region's culture into the designs. Oh And I added to this post photos of Chanel's milk carton shaped python clutch bag embellished with a CC signature. They're not part of the Dubai colle

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?

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare.  This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
