Into the Bloom

Ahhh.. love is in the air. Pre-fall and Fall collections were showered with floral prints. I noticed most designers adorned their dresses with bouquets of crimson blooms and feminine floral prints. And I just spotted this oh-so-pretty very Mad-Men-ish Max Mara mustard floral print dress at the brand's boutique in Salhiya (they have just received their pre-fall collection). And I found the fit to be so flattering as it's slightly fitted from the top and from the waist down you get this beautiful not-too-overwhelming kind of volume. Juuuust-right. Loved it! Price tag? KD 327.

Hop on to this florals trends by pairing your pieces with chunky knits or sheepskin gilets for the full effect. Or you can make it simple and pair them with statement accessories only. To cut down on the sweetness factor, roughen up the look with a pair of booties or bulky cuffs.


Another floral dress? Ruby red and grey dress with floral print by Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti. Price tag? KD 233 .

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.
