Meet Kate

Kate Busby is an artist and photographer who e-mailed me a few months ago to help her on a fashion dilemma she had back then. When she introduced her self as a "a 27 years young half British half Kuwaiti artist who has never lived in Kuwait before" I was intrigued to find out more. So I asked her if she can share with me some of her work and she kindly provided me with photos of her work and a link to her website. Through the "Press" link I came to know that Kate uses art and her camera to re-discover her roots. She studied literature in Oxford University in the UK. And then she worked in a London art gallery where she got her big break. She got an all expense paid trip to Venice Biennial, a major contemporary art exhibition that takes place once every two years and was held in UAE earlier this year, and stumbled on an exhibition called Edge of Arabia, a pioneering exhibition that has shed new light on the largely unknown contemporary art and culture of Saudi Arabia, where she was offered a job right there and then. Her job was to search for modern art from Saudi Arabia to showcase in London. Which then led her to work with JAMM, an agency which supports contemporary art movement in the Middle East and beyond. After Kate's introductory email, she visited Kuwait briefly for the first time. And sent me this cute photo of her self (1st featured photo) wearing her newly purchased outfit from Zara, head to toe.

Featured here are some of Kate's art work and photography (check out how cool the last photo is where Kate appears almost invisible or see-through). To find out more about Kate Busby and her work, please click here.

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.
