Selfless Good Gift – Part I


People who are close to me know that when I look for gift, I’m always looking for a gift that is unique, special, and creative. And of course it helps a lot if it doesn’t blow your budget. So, I have found the perfect place to go to, the museum shop of Dar Al Athar Al Islamiyyah. It offers an assortment of gift ideas to give your friends, especially out-of-towners, at great prices.  Aaaand what’s also nice about these gifts is that all proceeds from the sale are used to support programs of Dar Al Athar Al Islamiyyah. So in a way you are supporting your community.

So, I have decided to write two posts about the things you can buy as gifts or even for yourself.  Of course the first post is dedicated to fashion jewelry. The pieces featured in the first photos (pendant, rings, and earrings) have to be my most favorite items in the shop. They’re called Nubia collection and my guess is that they are designed to resemble houses in Nuba. The whole set is priced at KD 30 and I think this collection would look ideal worn with your Ramadan Caftans.






Dar Al Athar Al Islamiyyah’s Museum Shop is located at Abdullah al-Salem School, Maidan Hawalli, Near al Sha’ab Leisure Park. To learn more about Dar Al Athar, please click here.

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.
