For Your Next Weekend Getaway

Finding a multi-brand boutique that stocks some of my favorite brands and it’s just a click (or an hour flight) away, is such a delightful discovery. I have just been introduced to Mimosa, a Bahrain-based multi-brand boutique that carries contemporary clothing and accessories brands from around the globe.

Mimosa is the brainchild of half Bahraini and half Spanish entrepreneur Mariam Mahmood who has studied interior design and marketing but have always been passionate about fashion. “My dad never wanted me to study fashion but instead something more diverse to have something to fall back on just in case I change my mind, After a year of being back home in Bahrain, I realized that we lacked trendy boutiques that carried young and trendy designers, especially those from the US”, said Mariam. And after Mariam’s successful first trip to NY fashion week in April 2006, her first foray into retail was born.

Expect a supremely well-curated array of picks from labels like Notte by Marchesa, Rebecca Taylor, Alice+ Olivia, Robert rodriguez, Robbi and Nikki, Beyond vintage, Jay lane, Elizabeth Cole, Gerard Yosca, Yoana Baraschi, Tibi and many more. Mimosa also has a vintage section which features rare and hard-to-fine pieces from Kenneth Jay Lane from 70's and 80's, Givenchy, and loads of others.

Mimosa Boutique can deliver to Kuwait and worldwide! And the best way for you to know what’s available now in-store is to view their items through their frequently updated facebook page.

Mimosa Boutique is located in Bahrain’s Al Aali Mall, 1st floor. For any inquiries, please call (+973) 1758-7883. Or you can send an e-mail to mimosabahrain@gmail.com.

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.
