Sharing The Love

With all the competitive Ramadan Exhibitions going on lately, it's almost impossible to find a Kaftan (darra'a) that looks unique and not your typical mix'n'match kaftan or a patchwork creation with the worst stitching/finishing ever + ridiculously overpriced. So I was impressed to find this darra'a at I Love Souk. The bright pink colored darra'a had a print of a diamond and emerald necklace on it's neckline which immediately reminded me of Mary Katrantzou's gorgeous collection. Of course the darra'a does not even come close to the beauty of Katrantzou's. But it was a refreshing change from what we usually see. I just wish the darra'a had more volume of fullness to it. And for those who like to go all matchy-matchy. The darra'a comes with a matching clutch as shown in the below photo.

I Love Souk's other new arrivals include these uber-chic vintage sunglasses, some were encrusted with colored Swarovski crystals.

There were also few pieces left of Delfina Delettrez Jewelry collection up for sale. I wish I could buy her entire collection!
Stack up your arm with these gold bracelets when wearing your Ramadan kaftan. Whether you decide to slip into one bracelet or go for the stacked look, make sure your arms are tanned for that lazy summer glow.

Funky feathered and colored clutches look too winter-ish for ths summer, but you can invest in one for the next season. I liked the ones shown in the above photo more than the ones shown below. Oh! And the clutch comes with a matching hair band. Not my thing...

Now here's something you wouldn't find anywhere else! T-shirts with vintage-y arabic motifs. The one shown here in the middle, has an image of a book cover from an old arabic book series which I used to read and collect! Brought back good memories.

I love this: "a patchwork creation with the worst stitching/finishing ever + ridiculously overpriced"

You hit the nail on the head with that description. Aside from a few designers I would maybe consider (like Rawya AlGhanim and Reem Almasalam) I'd much rather have something imported from Morrocco or Lebanon than designed locally. Lots of wannabe designers pay way too little attention to detail and the product ends up looking cheap despite the effort at creativity.

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.
