Always in Vogue


My obsession with the classic beige trench coat seems to never end. I already have 3, actually 2 beige ones and one navy. And the fact that every season brands give the classic piece a multi-style makeover is not helping me at all. Sleeveless, short sleeves, covered with delicate lace, embellished, cropped, ruffled… it surely has managed to outlive all fashion trends. So channel Holly Golightly and take your pick from a selection of trench coats I spotted fit for all budgets.  Let's start from top, featured here is a trench coat which I spotted at GAP. The fit was quite good and the price tag? KD 39 only!


H&M trench coat with brown leather detail on the collar is retailed at KD 11.900


Burberry Brit short sleeved trench dress which can also be worn as a coat. Price tag? KD 174


Ahhh.. This iconic piece from Burberry can be yours for KD 350

I love the last one! Burberry all the way, but its a pity there's not much use for them in our region :/
But I still say its an investment.

I liked the H&M one the most. But what is that price?? 11 thousands 9 hundred KD?! That would be 40 thousand bucks, cannot be.

Confashion, thanks for your response. I would also think that 'dot' means 'eleven point nine', but then why are there zeros after 'nine'? On the other hand $30 for this trench coat is more probable, while very low, than $40k.
I mean look at the quality, it's a bargain for $30, but H&M, while affordable, is not that unbelievably affordable.
Somebody just tell me where to buy this thing for $30!!

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.
