To Chinchin or Not to Chinchin

I know a lot of fashionistas stand against the fur industry and support PETA's anti-fur campaigns. So if you're one of them, I suggest you skip reading this post. If you're not and money is not an object, then you might want to check out the softest and fluffiest fur coat I have seen in Kuwait so far at Fendi Boutique in Salhiya Complex. The chinchilla short coat comes with a pricey tag of around KD 10,000.

I am an animal lover and although I would never go anywhere near fur for the missus(partly because of the price tag) I would never begrudge anyone their choice to wear fur if that's what makes them happy. Same goes with leather - I am madly in love with leather jackets. I even have a decent collection of genuine leather jackets at home and I will not tolerate some God's gift to earth telling me off on what not to wear.
Trouble is, in today's world tough liberals are proving every bit, as much pain in the unmentionables, as their conservative and hardliner bedfellows are.

The sheer timing of this post is brilliant! I know of many society women in Kuwait who are looking for that something special to wear to an evening of Opera at the Movenpick resort, Bida'a on Nov 4th. You have given them perfect arsenal in the chinchilla.
Getting all these high net worth fashionistas in Q8 eating out of your hands is now become child's play for you, Connie. How do you time and again manage doing that?
Chinchilla gives you the chillblains? said…
Is it okay to be seen wearing a chinchilla when out shopping at Dean & DeLuca's or even while you are Pinkberrying?
On a slightly different note, I find it bit of a travesty investing $10,000 on a $60 evening of opera. Better that they brought the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden to Kuwait; bricks and mortar.

Are Fendi also getting into the business of custom designing fur bishts for the local market ?

Absolutely adore that chinchilla! However,what's stopping me from buying it is my husband who is rather a furry man, you see. Who needs a chinchilla anyway when you have the real thing in bed with you?!

Whew! my friend's worried sick the KD10k chinchillas might be sold out before she packs it in for the day and hurries off to Salhiya. Is there a way we can hold them for her?

By the way, I am told by my palatibility appraiser that enchilladas go rather well with chinchillas.

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.
