Summer Or Fall

When I plan to go out shopping, I'm usually focused. I know what I need and I know what I want. Very easy in theory. However, when I shop in certain places in Kuwait such as Al Othman, 4 boutique, and Villa Moda. That same theory magically disappears the moment I see some incredible and beautiful pieces like this emerald green leather textured and structured leather jacket by Poleci at Villa Moda Al Fanar. Even though it's from the designer's S/S 2009 collection, it's a perfect piece for our Fall. besides, who would wear leather in the summer, right? The jacket is priced at KD 435. I love how the model paired it with a white lace top. Moving on...

I'm a sucker for almost anything Thakoon-ish. And this tie-dye vibrant pink and red shirt dress from the designer's Resort 2009 collection is too beautiful to miss. Unfortunately (or fortunately!) it didn't fit me well. Price tag? KD 515.

Here's the "almost anything" from Thakoon exception. I'm not crazy about this evening gown from the S/S 2009 collection. But the small pleated details on the chest are interesting. the rest of the gown and its color is a bit boring. Price tag KD 1,054. Not sure if it's on sale or not.

Hmm..I wonder what happened to my "had enough from summer collection" complaint!

True.. But for us, summer leather jackets on discount are bargain pieces to be worn for chillier seasons. :)

Thanks ;) I wasn't sure about it.

Yeah, the leather jacket is slightly over-priced. IF it was (or maybe it is) on discount, then it would have been a bargain buy.

And it's an easy summer to fall piece!

Yes, all pieces featured on this post are from AlFanar.

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.
