Dear Confashion: Looking for Chic Albums


Q: Do you know where I can find nice photo albums here in Kuwait? I'm looking for an album to store all my honeymoon pictures in, so it has to be a bit big ;). I also want an album were thepictures slip in, not were I have to stick them on.
A: Honestly? I don't recall a place in Kuwait that sells really nice and chic looking photo albums.  My friend says Stephanie and Al Ussaimi have a nice selection but I haven't seen them personally. Have you tried searching online? Try kolo.com,  johnlewis.com, and www.whsmith.co.uk.

I hope my readers can help us with this one. Any recommendations please? Much appreciated. :)

Unfortunately I have been facing the same delimma. For 5 years my honeymoon pictures have been sitting there in a box waiting for the perfect album. I've searched everywhere in Kuwait. I hate stuffy old style ones used by the photographers. I wanted modern chic ones. I searched everywhere even abroad. Only in 2008 did I find something that would work for me in paperchase UK (also available in DUbai Mall)

Its plain white plastic photo album that though doesn't sound very much but is very very modern. It comes in sizes from 12 pictures to 250 pictures. I bought a bunch and categoriezed many of my pictures there. I like how they are modern and how they fit with everything and are timeless.

As a matter of fact I think I will do a post about them... that's a good idea !

I think this can be categorized under "Good Business Opportunity" because I do know for a fact that a lot of my friends face the same problem ;)

Looking forward to your post :)

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.
