Summer Ain't Over

OK, I HATE this time of the year, when most of Kuwait's shops are on a "pause" mood:
  • No new Fall collections
  • Pre-fall collections are very limited/boring
  • New collections will be on display just weeks before Eid
  • Some summer collections are still to this day full-priced even though you can find the same items online on 50% discount!

So I find it quite difficult finding nice AND new items in stores. Anyhow, on a recent shopping trip to Villa Moda Shuwaikh. I found 3 cute items, but they're from the s/s 2009 collection, they are not on sale. This Meher & Riddhima vibrant mint green top with ruched details on the sleeves is fun to wear for casual outings. It comes with a bright pink necklace made out of long twisted fabric. Price tag? KD 197.

I loved this Akira bright orange short sleeves dress, it has a great fit. The details of the sleeves, fabric mix'n'matching with some matt golden embroidery makes it ideal for Ramadan's formal outings. Price tag? KD 531.



Another elegent find for women in their 40's and 50's, Akira light jacket which would look very classy paired with stright cut pants or dresses. Price tag? KD 510.

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.
