Confashions Cravings

As I write this post, I’m munching on the yummiest white chocolate with dried strawberries I have ever tasted (5th photo), courtesy of Ottolenghi, the place to go to in London for healthy snacks and not so-healthy but mind-blowing desserts.

Ottolenghi has around 4 branches around London but I only managed to go to the one in Knightsbridge. The place was quite tiny with one big round table to share with others. And its stripped-down and all-white décor made the mouth-watering food counter with its legendary colorful salads on display the center of attention. The portions of the Mediterranean-inspired salads served were quite big as well, so make sure you share your salads. If you haven’t been there yet, you have to try their almost tabbouleh salad and their caramel and macadamia cheesecake (last photo). Sooo good that I bought the owner’s (Yotam Ottolenghi)best selling cookbooks in an attempt to create the same taste back home…. I’ll let you know about that later.

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.
