CCF: Channeling The Chanel

Spotted. 3 different takes of the cropped boucle jacket with a boxy shape and frayed edges a la Chanel style at Zara for KD 39.500. I see incarnations of Chanel's most coveted item, the tweed jacket, almost every season at different retailers because they sell like hot cakes and not every one can afford to buy the real deal. Another Credit Crunch Friendly item for sure. Wear it with pearl necklaces and a quilited bag and you’re good to go.

I love them all and they remind me of Sex and the City's Bunny MacDougal and when she said,"Don't ruffle me out. this is Chanel!"

I know I'm kind of pushing when I say this, but Zara and Topshop are so often frequented that people tend to know their pieces so for example when you wear something from Zara people often know it’s Zara. I want to push and challenge your fashionista skills and steer you away from the obvious choices especially since there's a whole world of stores now that are open that don’t have to axe your wallet.

Examples:

Reiss
Twist
Patricia Pepe
Designer’s Lounge
American Retro
DKNY
By Malene De Birger
Coco Ribbon
What I like about these stores is that there’s only ONE of each of them in Kuwait and I believe they are all less frequented than Zara and Topshop so as a customer you get more of a feeling of exclusivity when making a purchase.

Those to me look like homespun creations that might just as easily have come from Oxfam.

No one does Chanel like Chanel, and no one should attempt to.

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.
