Madison Mavens

Women walking down Madison Avenue have certain traits. They looked super dressed and their manes were well coiffured. Not a single hair out of place. And as is the case in almost every shopping-obsessed culture, they were dressed for their other fellow Madison mavens and mean sales assistants. I actually enjoyed people watching on Madison. Made me want to bring the Sartorialist in me. Anyhow, I started the day with Barneys.

As always, the first thing I do whenever I visit this luxury retailer is admire the display and theme. It never disappoints me. Very simple yet very creative. The words are drawn in a way that make the lines look connected to one point and attached to the mannequin.
Camping in Barneys

Walking the dogs

After a couple of hours of shopping in Barneys, lunch at Fred's at Barney's is a must to fuel up for the Madison Ave. journey. I'm craving the fresh pasta with truffle oil now.

Back to Madison Avenue, the first boutique I noticed was Hermes. So Kelly is my latest obsession.

And just across the street to Hermes Boutique was another Hermes Boutique under construction (amazing purchasing power) covered in its famous orange box. I just love how boutiques and stores are covered in the states and Europe when they're under construction. Look how striking the color is used for Devi Kroell's coming-soon-boutique.

I still have more to share...

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.
