Treat Your CCAD Syndrome

Sometimes, a fashionista goes through a "CCAD" syndrome. "CCAD" stands for Casual Chic Attire Disorder. This is a serious fashion condition which I'm sure many of you have suffered from. No matter what you do, you just can't seem to find the right stylish thing to wear for going out with the girls on a Saturday brunch.

I once pretended that I'm Patricia Field on a fashion mission to dress up Carrie for her Sunday brunch at the meatpacking district (Carrie would be me in this example as well. Sick I know!!). Little did I know that not anyone can mix and match "a la Patricia Field's style". And certainly, not everyone can pull off Carrie's style. Looking casual chic can be hard and challenging. It's achievable, but requires some work.

Lucky me, I found some fabulous M Missoni casual chic pieces at the brand's boutique at Arraya Complex for the low-maintenance fashionista in you.


I instantly fell in love with this modern semi-capelet with a vintage feel. The lining of the capelet adds a splash of color to the beige wool front. It comes with a fitted top made from the same material/print of the lining. But I wouldn't go for it. Pair it with high-waist jeans and a fitted high-neck top with a self-tie forest green or purplish scarf to keep your neck warm. Finish the look with an over-sized clutch. Capelet is priced at KD 187.



This top is more suitable for curvaceous women who want to look comfortable and chic. I liked the mix of two different prints. The supercute silk top can easily work with almost all your winter outfits. For casual outings, pair the hippie-chic top with slim-cut jeans and a long cardigan in a neutral color. Put on your patent leather platforms or flats and you're good to go. For formal occasions, wear it with a midi-skirt, a structured doctor's bag, and tuck it in to give some definition to your look. The top is sold for KD 182.



Once you try this cozy chunky shawl/poncho on, you wouldn't want to take it off. It's very easy to wear and an investment piece which will be worn every winter season. Pair it with skinny jeans and flat patent leather boots or ankle boots, a huge hobo bag, and you're all set. The poncho is sold for KD 328.


M Missoni boutique is located at Arraya Complex. Call them on (+965) 2997728 for any inquires.

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.
