Modern Mosque in Kuwait

Seeing modern mosques being built in a way that do not conform to traditional Islamic architectural style is something rare to me. And as far as I know, the only mosques with modern architecture in Kuwait are Fatima Mosque located in the suburb of Abdullah Al Salem area, and Ras Salmiya’s pyramid-shaped mosque. So while I was on my way to a friend's house I was pleasantly surprised when I spotted this modern looking mosque.  The mosque was still under construction but you can tell from its architecture and the details used that once completed this will be another masterpiece to treasure in Kuwait.

The mosque is located at Abdullah Al Salem area. Take a look at the photos below for different views of the mosque.

 
Beautiful wood detail on the mosque's door (the main entrance)
I noticed the ceiling was designed using blocks of Arabic calligraphy and on each block you can read one of the 99 perfect names and attributes of Allah.
I like the way the minaret is covered

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.
