In the Navy




Extremely popular almost every resort is the classic Nautical trend. I like the combo of red, navy, and white. There's something preppy about those colors. Anyhow, the shoes collection at Chanel Boutique in Salhiya is the easiest way to pay a nod to the nautical trend. This cruise, the brand presented the classic white and navy (or red) stripes in a quirky laced-up peep-toe boots which almost appealed to my taste if it wasn't for the huge interlocked C's. And I wasn't too thrilled with the espadrille version either. But maybe if I pair the boots with white sailor-style wide pants, the C's wouldn't look as bad?

I agree with you that the combination of colors is nice and that it looks preppy. But those laced up boots look garish and I'm a little surprised at Chanel for creating such a thing. The flats are not bad though.Still, I say buy funkier stuff from designers that are funky (Manolo's, Nicholas Kirkwood,Sergio Rossi, etc) and buy classic stuff from designers that do classic better. Chanel simply does classic better.

Every season Chanel surprises us with some creations that might not appeal to all. But honestly, that's what I like about them, the fact that they look weird. I mean To me, it's like a challenge on how to make them look cool. And I love such challenges ;) Don't always work though! :P

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.
