While in Dubai...

 This is my last post on Dubai, thank you for bearing with me, So I'll sharing some random thoughts here and there starting with my current obsession Fendi's Silvana. The color-combo of this crocodile and leather version is TDF! 

Although I'm not a fan of cup cakes, I couldn't possibly say no to having a bite of the well presented cup cakes of Magnolia Bakery located at Dubai's Bloomingdales. I did try them before when I was in New York two years ago and thought they were very mediocre and over hyped. So I wanted to give them another chance. The verdict? I'd give the red velvet cup cake a 3.5 out of 5. Not bad but still not a fan.  Maybe I should have tried the cakes instead just like Ansam did. 

I was tempted to buy these cook books though.. but I knew they'll only end up decorating my shelves... Just like ottolenghi's!
 Liked this clutch from Paule Ka
OMG! The Accessories at  Boutique 1 were AHHHMAAAZING and truly unique. Check out some of my favorite pieces starting with Philip Lim's necklace shown in the above photo...

Looked what I've found at Boutique 1! The ottolenghi cook book!
We went out for dinner at Zuma and La Petite Maison restaurants in DIFC. I strongly recommend the two places for the very hip ambiance. However, because I had very high expectations, I was slightly disappointed with the main courses. BUT, the desserts at both places were HEAVENLY! Which made up for the disappointments.  And the staff at La Petite Maison were extremely friendly and attentive. I liked that. 

And that's all. Salam!
The cozy entrance of La Petite Maison

Cupcakes are crap no matter where you have them. What you should have had at Magnolia is their chocolate swirl cheesecake! Now thats good food.

You can shop boutique 1 online on www.boutique1.com. It's located in Dubai at Emariates Mall and also Jumaira the Walk.

In Kuwait you can always count on Al Othman boutique located in Mariam Complex in Salmiya. They also have an outlet online site on www.alothmanoutlet.com.

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.
