Downtown Cool with Alexa


The much anticipated Mulberry Alexa bag, named after UK presenter-turned-style-icon Alexa Chung, debuted at the brand's boutique in the Avenues Phase II.  And of course the Oak and tan leather versions are already sold out.

I normally avoid "designed-by-celebs" accessories as they tend to lack the quality and creativity I look for in a bag, but this one actually appealed to me. Its preppy, worn-in, vintagey, and slouchy style makes it a great every-dayer.  And the price tag is reasonable for a designer bag.  The bag can be worn across the body or carried by the handle. And I liked the fact that the buckle straps are attached by fuss-free magnetic press-stud fastening, which make it easy to access the stuff inside your bag.

What's available now at Mulberry Boutique are the Alexa bag in peony pink shiny leopard print leather (featured here) and in oak shiny leopard print leather.  But I still prefer the plain leather, It looks more refined.

I agree with you, I prefer the more neutral colors on a Mulberry bag. I like the idea of something bright for the summer time to brighten up your outfits but just the structure of the Mulberry bag doesn't lend itself to too much funkiness a7is it clashes fa sayer shakilha cheap shway.

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.
