Shopping in Doha

During my stay in Doha I managed to visit one of their latest and biggest shopping malls called The Villagio. The moment I stepped inside I immediately remembered a mall I’ve been to almost 4 years ago in Las Vegas. It had the same Venetian theme as the Venetian Mall complete with a canal and gondola ride. I spotted some major designer brand boutiques like: Marc Jacobs, LV, Gucci, Valentino, Burberry, Bottega Veneta, and the soon-to-be-open Prada (heart!).

Most shops had their A/W 2010 on display, only a few boutiques had the cruise collection available in store. So I made my favorite picks from the new collections starting with the wear-forever Bottega clutches in mouth-watering colors. One piece that took my breath away was a strapless lace-like cocktail dress by Marc Jacobs in summery hues of minty green and baby blue. And even though they didn't have my size (isn't that always the case?!) I  just had to try it on anyways, it looked STUNNING (had to leave the back zipper open! And since when American sizes became so tiny?!!). Price tag? 17,600 Qatari riyal which is around KD 1,360.

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.
