Get You Sketchbook Now!

The energetic, multi-talented, and fabulous Bahraini editor Wafa Al Obaidat who’s the brainchild behind Sketchbook magazine, a quarterly magazine that showcases established and emerging creative talents in fashion, design and culture with a focus on features, photography and illustration, has just released the second edition of Sketchbook magazine titled LONDON FASHION DESIGNERS ISSUE.

This issue is filled with the most talked about designers, illustrators and photographers around today, including Matthew Williamson, Paul Smith, David David, Luella, Burberry and Genger & Mayer amongst many more. If you appreciate art, it would be very hard for you to miss the exquisiteness of Sketchbook online cover layout. There's something distinctly different about it. The enjoyable perplexity begins with the beautiful illustrations of cover star, Henry Holland, who talks us through how he went from making T-shirts for fun to designing his new collection for House Of Holland. Part Two of the online magazine features interviews with the stylist and creative director of House of Blueeyes: Johnny Blueeyes, Prince Pelayo and Gala Gonzalez who live together and have been making waves in the fashion industry.

I personally think that the magazine has morphs into a sophisticated fashion must read. it has been created for people who appreciate and love fashion, design, and art. Wafa.. You made us proud. I can’t wait to read the 3rd edition of Sketchbook!

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.
