BCBG This And BCBG That

Back in the good old days, I used to be obsessed with BCBG. My Eid attire had to be BCBG, my evening gown? BCBG, My shoes? you got it, BCBG. Now that my sense of style has matured and there is a bigger selection and wider choices within the local market and online, I'm not as obsessed (thank god!! I wouldn't want to be stuck in a style rut!!).

Nevertheless, I still check out BCBG's boutique at Arraya Complex every now and then. Mind you, the BCBG selection in Kuwait is not very impressive. Sometimes I have the feeling that the items on display are 4 seasons old. And sometimes, when they do display the new collection, the common sizes are already sold out even though I only came into the store an hour late from the time they had the new collection on display. And while we're at it, why are they selling their items more expensive than their original prices?

Anyways, here are some of the items that I liked from their Autumn/Winter collection:




This dark grey unconventionally shaped blazer/jacket is just the right thing to carry your look from day to night. I can imagine Mary Kate & Ahsley wearing the same blazer for an occasion teamed with their studded Christian louboutin ankle boots, a loose t-shirt, and a pair of dark skinny jeans. The Jack is sold for KD 158.



We're always on the look out for the next Little Black Dress. The perfect thing to wear for a small dinner. Pair it with huge golden accessories. The dress is sold for KD 103.



This is probably the only decent item from their almost non-existent Runway Fall Collection. I loved the details on the dress, it must have taken them ages for the dress to be completed. Wear the dress with colored opaque tights and platforms to give it a modern edgy look. The dress is sold for KD 182.

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.
