Event: A visit to Hurrem Sultan


FA Gallery have sent me an invitation to attend the launch of their latest exhibition titled Hurrem Sultan, paying tribute to Hurrem Sultan, the renowned Queen of the Ottoman Empire who has embodied the image of empowering women for many centuries. But because I have a really bad memory, the event completely slipped my mind. Luckily, Me Blogging posted about it and I added "Go to FA Gallery TODAY!" to my never ending to-do list.

The exhibition features exquisite items by leading creative Turkish designers and artists in the fields of fashion, accessories, and furniture. I must say that the moment I saw the below featured tables, designed by Engin Ozmen, I was hooked! It's a beautiful piece of art! Scroll down to see what else was on display. The exhibition is on till Thursday 5th October.

I think the table was priced at KD 750.

ANother set of tables that I liked by furniture designer Gazme Iscan

Something for our fashionistos

dear confashions,

i am an ardent/obsessive fan of yours. i look at your blog as a daily, strict, ritual of mine. If this ritual is in any way impeded i lose severe calories. You are a gem of all bloggers. You write with compassion and the support you provide to new/old designers today you should be awarded the noble prize!
However, the ladies shoes you pictured earlier, with the mismatched fabric. who, what and where can i get a pair? If possible.

Keep doing what you do. You are an inspiration to us all.

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.
