Not So Lucky to Some...


I was astonished to find out that the Issa Lucky dress was sold out (in both colors) on net-a-porter in less than 2 hours from it's release online! I know that the dress made a big hit due to many factors (SATC movie, celeb-worthiness, all-shapes-flattering-style to name a few), but I didn't expect it to fly off the virtual shelf that fast!

Whoever bought it, can you please let us know if it was worth it or not? And does it really flatter your shape?!

lol i saw it on net-a-porter and was about to order it just for the heck of it , then got a second look at the pics and decided its too short. Honestly, its soooo ordinary, nothing unique about it, actually its rather dull, don't you think ?

Is it really a Lucky dress ? Id rather get Dorothy's shoes from OZ, they are more fun and glamorous lol..

speaking of net-a-porter the recent FASHION in Kuwait and surely worldwide as per ur experience with that dress...
my experience was so weird to the point that i had to cancel my order after 10 days of emails going back and forth with their un-pro costumer care!
to cut long story short , it started with them not accepting the UK ARAMEX Address i submitted along with my purchase reasoning in Higher security and requesting a physical address ...bla bla bla
they sent me an email saying they will deposit an amount less than a pound to my Visa account , so that i clarify whats that exact amount in order to make sure am the owner of the Visa .....!! what

I said ok lets wait...nothing happened for 5 days and I canceled the order to save more headache..

another story about this famous online store:

a friend of mine once had to go to the p.o.box office of her neighborhood in order to claim her package , they asked her to go into the room of all delayed packages and get her box !! she found a tons of open boxes , different dresses , shoes , leather bags everywhere...

Last but not least ...Becarefull Girls

I have been buying most of my wardrobe from net-a-porter for the past 3 years & I have very rarely encountered any difficulty with them. It was once that I really had a problem & they gave me a free voucher worth 50 pounds to make up for what they did & I was entitled to free shipping for my next order! As for the Issa dress I bought it from france & I think its a pretty nice dress bas not worth all the buzz it got! Its a simple & elegant dress..

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.
