May the Best One Win

I am excited to announce that HP and HellwaFashion has handpick 4 of the top regional fashion bloggers (ahem), namely yours truly, Butterhotshoes, myfashiondiary, and Hautecouturista, to join a competition designing a laptop cover/sleeve for the HP ENVY. Of course only one design will be chosen and that’s where you my lovely, sweet, and caring readers come in (Yes this is my attempt to lure you into voting for me!) No seriously, all you have to do is click HERE and vote for your favorite design. Simply comment with the blogger’s name in the comment field at the end of the page. HP and HellwaFashion will randomly pick one lucky voter to win an HP wireless mouse.

Here’s a description of my design:

The concept of the laptop case is to get two different looks for the price of one. This way it will appeal to a wider audience and can be used for males and females. The first laptop case has a very minimal and practical design of soft grey leather with a soft black leather patch. There is one long strap on one side of the laptop case and two holes. This is used to close tie the case in a knot the way runway models tie the belt around their waist recently. And on each corner there are 4 grey hidden clip-ons. These will be used to attach the white leather spread with cut-out-like-a-lace design and uneven curved edges to give you that 2nd look. You will also notice the design of the inside case where it has a zipped pouch for the laptop and 3 slots for business cards and a notepad. The lace leather spread shown in the first photo clips onto the main laptop cover. On the lace leather spread there are 6 iconic wardrobe staples that are barely shown (they're supposed to blend in with the laser-cut lace/leather) They will be visible only if you stare hard into the leather spread. Of course the reason for the cutout is that obviously to show the background color.

So as you can see, I'm obviously not a “designer”, but know how to spend all my savings on “designer” stuff. Here’s a look at my so-called design and please show me the love and vote.

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.
