Visiting Nur

dar.nur, the brainchild of Kuwaiti entrepreneur Noor Al Zabin, has long been one of the pioneering “it” shops for shabby chic, retro, and unique home accessories in Kuwait. And ever since it  has moved from its old location to a bigger and better shop in Shuwaikh's Seven Zones Mall, I haven't had the chance to visit it until recently.  And I'm glad I did! I think they have expanded  their selection, because now they have everything for in and around the home.  The well-edited collection includes furniture, rugs, dishes, art, books, lighting, stationary . . . pretty much anything you could ask for to turn a bland house into a cozy and hip home. You can also find great gift ideas for those who have everything. Featured here are some of my favorite pieces available currently at the store.

To find out more about dar.nur, visit their website or facebook page. For additional inquires, please call (965) 22258699.

I can’t take my eyes off these incredible giant bean bags! L.O.V.E! They remind me of Me blogging's post. Price tag? KD 350 each.



I fell in love with this one off Turkish Ikat table and poufs, a dar.nur design. The poufs can be used seating or side tables.  Price tag? KD 495

If you're a big fan of Syrian artist Sabhan Adam, you will find a coffee table book featuring beautiful photos of his work. A great gift idea for someone who appreciates art.
Beautifully and brightly colored plexi tables with arabesque-like designs
Leather trays in green and hot fuchsia
The below and above beautiful paintings are by the talented Kuwaiti artist Ghada Al Kandari

Wow. I am so amazed with the wonderful designs. They all look lovely and awesome. The chair with colorful details is eye catching. But what really amazed me are the paintings. Cool concepts! Glad you have shared it.

The retro looking chairs are STUNNING! These would be the first items I'd purchase when I plan to do a home makeover :)

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.
