Farmville of Fashion

Two days ago, a friend called me from Chanel Boutique in Salhiya Complex howling with excitement over Chanel's new S/S 2010 arrivals. And because I was busy at that time, my shopping spree had to wait for 24 whole freaking hours. It’s such an annoying feeling. You know the feeling you get when you turn up there and everything is already sold out! Speaking of which, Have you ever had a dream where you’re traveling to London and get to pick and choose all the beautiful things in Browns and Harvey Nichols only to find out later that you can’t purchase a thing because you forgot to bring your money?! NIGHTMARE!

Anyhow, the first thing that caught my attention was the new window display of Chanel Boutique, very Farmville-themed (Very true to the runway them), with Chanel logo stamped boxes of rustic hay on the side and some colorful garden-like decoration on the top. And the bags on the window display were just beautiful and elegant. Anyhow, the new collection inside the store was not that exciting, with the exception of some few pieces like the weekender/travel denim bag which looked like the 2.55 but it was humongous, and the red flap bag shown below, some nice cardigans and dresses, and some other canvas bags which unfortunately I didn’t manage to take their photos. No sign of the runway bags yet and according to the sales lady, they will be in store in a week or so (the common answer).

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.
