Here Comes The Al Othman Bride...


I had the pleasure to visit the newly opened boutique Al Othman Bridal located at Mariam Complex in Salmiya. The moment I stepped inside the boutique I felt the serenity of the place with smells of fresh flowers. When suddenly a familiar friendly face warmly greeted me at the door, it was May of Al Othman, who's in charge of the Bridal Boutiques in Bahrain and now Kuwait. She showed me around and gladly answered all my questions. I took a sneak peak of the gorgeous bridal gowns. I had a strong urge to try them on all! I wonder if I'd be still welcomed at Al Othman. The off-white carpets of the fitting room and the waiting room are soft and welcoming to my feet. And gives the bride-to-be and her family the privacy they need. What I like about the services offered at Al Othman Bridal is that they do some alterations to the gown to fit your style, so you won't feel like getting a cookie cutter! Plus if you have seen a certain wedding gown you're interested in from the brands they carry, they can order it for you and have it delivered within 3 months max. Some of the designers Al Othman Bridal work with include Vera Wang, Elie Saab, Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera, and Louboutin shoes to name a few.

I'm sure Brides and bridezillas-to-be living in Kuwait will certainly feel blessed to have a bigger selection of bridal wear as far as ready-to-wear bridalwear is concerned. 



The waiting area for family or friends of the bride-to-be is so serene and cozy

prAwww how pretty!
Let me share this story about Al-Othman with you. My mother got her wedding dress in 1979 from Al-Othman. Then a few years back when me and my mother both got dresses for my younger sister's wedding from Al-Othman the woman tailor who altered mine and my mom's dresses was the same one who altered my mom's wedding dress all these years ago and my mom told her so. It was a beautiful realization and if it means anything it means Al-Othman have been there dressing women and their daughters for their wedding for generation on end!

Congratulation Al-Othman on the new bridal boutique :D

I can so relate! My mother and grandmother BOTH used to be loyal customers of AL Othman back in the late 50's! Now not so much because she can't find her sizes there... but my sisters and I gladly carried on her legacy :P and the new generation shops al othman religiously :P

I hope you still have your mom's wedding dress :)

May

Chanel Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection

I can't remember if I shared my views about Chanel's Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection on my blog or not, but I thought I'd share with you some photos of the pieces on display now at Chanel Boutique in Kuwait, Prestige in the Avenues and Salhiya Complex. I wasn't too crazy about the clothes. However, I did like some of the bags which had pompoms and tassels on them, as well as the gigantic pearl clutch. I also loved the Moroccan-inspired pointy flats and the silver jewelry adorned with coins and crescents. Of course the shoes were sold out in my size and I wasn't so crazy about the patterned ones. I LOVED the flap bag with Pom Poms, but it was above my budget. Overall the collection felt more Moroccan than Dubai-an. I wish if they have incorporate more of the our gulf region's culture into the designs. Oh And I added to this post photos of Chanel's milk carton shaped python clutch bag embellished with a CC signature. They're not part of the Dubai colle

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.
