Feeling Vestive

From long and shaggy to short and cropped, nothing does the trick of laid-back luxe and all-out-glam quite like the fur vest. I have spotted different variations of the fur vest and found a couple of options that would appeal to different budgets. 

What I love about fur vests is that you can dress it up or down in so many ways. You can pair it with a short floaty floral dress, or silk-boho top with straight or skinny pants, or plain and fitted long jersey dress with a skinny belt tied around your waist to give you some definition. 

For a streamlined and simple look, avoid statement accessories as they can be overpowering with fur vests. And make sure you stick to toned down accessories. A pair of platform heels/booties are a must since the bulk of the fur will eat up your height.

Stunning long Hakaan fur vest available at Al Othman Boutique. Price tag? KD 1,839

Black and beige fur vests available at Hoss Boutique in the Avenues Phase II. Price tag? Around KD 60

Joseph's blush pink Mongolian fur available at Harvey Nichols Dubai. And I also spotted it (and a black version) at Al Othman Boutique in Salmiya. Price tag? I think it was around KD 250

There was one that I posted about probably a month ago which I have found at Zara. The BEST camel cape I have ever seen in high street. Not sure if they're still selling it though.

I have also found one a couple of days back at TopShop which looked OK. Not as nice as the Zara one though.

Here's one option: http://www.asos.com/Asos/Asos-Contrast-Trim-Cape/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1166716

Good luck :)

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.
