Let's JAMM

As I was just entering the parking of Phase II of the Avenues, I spotted a sign with the word JAMM on it and arrow directing to the still under constrcution Phase III. So I decided to follow the arrows, parked my car next to semi-isolated lift. I went inside the lift and was then dircted to one of the biggest art space I have ever seen in Kuwait. It turned out that JAMM, an agency which supports contemporary art movement in the Middle East and beyond, has rented the space temoprarily to host its 2nd auction in Kuwait, which was held later that night. So I asked the security if I could take some photos and have a look around. And the guy gladly let me in. The place featured 90 works by emerging and established Arab, Iranian and International artists. There were some really nice and creative pieces on display (especially the ones featured in the 1st and 2nd photos by Pakistani artist Simeen Farhat.

I found out later that a public exhibition of the artworks took place the day before. And you can download the auction catalogue here.  10% of the proceeds from the auction sale will benefit a Kuwait based non-profit organization, KAACH, the Kuwait Association for the Care of Children in Hospital.

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.
