Dear Confashion: Off Screen

I have received this very interesting e-mail from Offscreen representative. What is Offscreen? It's an award-winning Social Enterprise promoting cross-cultural understanding amongst young people. They are a not-for-profit initiative specialising in building creative bridges between the UK, Middle East and wider Islamic World. For the past 2 years Offscreen have organised and executed student expeditions between the Islamic Middle East and the UK, in order to create a legacy of cultural understanding and create genuinely ‘Global Citizens’ of the future.

For 2010 Offscreen in partnership with HSBC, British Council Qatar, Al-Tajir Trust, Bold Creative and Digital Explorer plan to take 2 young people from Kuwait on an adventure of a lifetime by bringing them to the UK. As part of the journey the students will be creating artwork and updating a website with photos, videos, and diary entries. The students will be leaving Kuwait on the 11th July at 4am.

The project aspires to positively effect the lives of these 2 young Kuwaitis, facilitate face-to-face discussions between over 1000 young people, amplify the positive messages to over 20,000 youth online and in the classroom, and generate quality media that reaches and educates millions internationally.

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.
