Dear Confashion: Retro Revival

The 50's and 60's waist accentuating chic dresses of yesterday found their way to our 21st century fashion with Retro Revival, a newly started home business. The brand, designed by a British designer, is inspired by the rich and diverse culture of Africa. So it mixes African fabrics with modernized 50's and 60's shapes. 

I loved the full-shaped dress, would look pretty paired with Assad Mounser's gunmetal-plated brass and spiked fluorite necklace. A pearl necklace would be a no-no, unless you want to look like a cast member of Mad Men, then that's a different story... 

For further inquiries or to order, please send an e-mail to Retro.Revival@hotmail.com.

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.
