Pretty and Practical Pieces by Farah


Anyone who ever decorated a small space knows how crucial it is to buy pieces that are not only pretty but also practical and space saving.  Kuwaiti designer Farah Al Humaidhi did exactly that and more. When I visited her recent exhibition tiled Pieces by Farah, she effortlessly showed me how to transform a modern one seater into two ottomans (or can be an ottoman and a table?). And then she showed me a set of  lego-style nesting tables which I swear at first glance looked like a normal one high table (not featured here). That's genius!
Looking at her pieces up close, I realized that this is not just another copy/paste exhibition. Farah has smartly played with new techniques and different shapes resulting in her own very distinct style. The way she designed the tables, lace-like vases, and metal mesh and lace covered lamps is simply amazing, and most importantly practical, pieces of art that people would want to buy and decorate their homes with.

You can customize can any of the pieces of Farah's collection, colors and wood type, to your taste. Her work is currently being exhibited at AL Tilal Complex (November Head Office) today only. And in two weeks time, you will also be able to order online through her website.

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.
