And This is How I Attack...

So, lesson No. 1, first we study Snapshot by MUSE, and then we attack the store! I passed by Al Othman recently, and a lot of the items featured in their Resort lookbook were already in store: Theyskens Theory, Alexander Wang, Oscar de la Renta, Michael Angle, 10 Crosby by Derek Lam, and more. Two brands that I had be hooked were naturally Preen and Erdem. There is something about these young designers, they brings together the finest, brightest, and most unique collections. Let's start with Erdem, I look forward to his trench coats. Every season he seems to present unexpected twists on basic outerwear. A few seasons back the trench coat was entirely covered with white lace, back in 2008 he had designed a beautiful trench coat with huge flower-like detail, which I have featured here. And now he has like a tweed overlay on the upper half of the coat... simply beautiful. Check out the details...

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.
