A New Addiction

GASP!!! Is that Rodarte on the window display!?! In K-town?!?! Obviously I have been living under a rock lately, because there is no way this semi-new store have skipped my fashion radars for TWO WHOLE MONTHS!!?  Well actually it's not completely new, you see Al Ostura group has revamped one of their boutiques (the two stories one) located at Thurraya Mall. I think it used to sell one or two brand on the ground floor, (Jean Paul Gaultier and Galliano?) and on the basement, they used to have a mix of old and new stock, you know, the usual Al Ostura display. But now, it's a full-fledged and all new multi-brand boutique. When I first walked in the boutique I was quite amazed at how neatly the stock was displayed! Is that really Al Ostura boutique?! And the brands?? In addition to Rodarte, they're currently stocking Christopher Kane, Meadham Kirchhoff, Jennifer Ouellette hairbands, Giambattista Valli, Giles, Dries Van Noten, Mary Katrantzou, Antonio Berardi, and more! Quite impressive! Me like a lot! Well actually, I loved everything about the boutique and the selection except for... the usual stalkers!!! (aka the sales ladies and their prozac-ish attitude). Here are some of the pieces in-store...   

Mary Katrantzou. Price tag? KD 1,200
Antonio Berardi hot pink cocktail dress KD 380

Love the prints on these Giles pieces. They come in a set of silk top with matching pants. The button-down shirt shown below is priced at KD 235

Hello Fluoro!! One of my favorite collections of the season (and the hardest to find online!), Christopher Kane florescent lace dresses. L.O.V.E! Prices range between KD 780 - KD 1,125.

Stunning Kane dress!!! KD 1,280! Kane and Rodarte?! Bye bye savings!
 Maxime Simoens gabardine dress decorated with white leather floral details. KD 1,420.

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.
