Acid Do Or Acid Don't

When I first saw the acid, washed out, faded jeans sneakily cropping up the fashion runway I freaked out. The least flattering type of jeans ever invented (and the cruelest to your...derrier excuse moi) is what’s in now! Yikes!

I cringed again when I saw them at TopShop the other day but I took a deep breath, picked my size, and tried them on. And to my surprise, they didn’t look as bad as I imagined. Actually, when I paired them with a fitted blazer and strappy heels, they looked quite decent.. Slightly Balmain-ish if I attach shoulder pads to the blazer jacket, but no I didn’t buy them because I’m convinced that this is just another short lived trend.

Anyways, if you choose to pull off this trend, for the love of god, don’t do the big hair, hot pink lipstick, and a matching washed out denim jacket combo! That would be an acid overkill.

never say never! and hey, isn't every trend short-lived anyway? i was born in the 80's i.e. never wore those things BUT i think that they make look neat with a spot on ensemble. and like some trends, i think this one suits the svelte crowd.

Love the 80's very very much.
But acid washed jeans, I don't.

The reason people were into the Balmais pair was because of the beautifull jacket. I believe people were into "the look" rather than the acid jeans themselves.

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.
