Classy Chloé

Chloé is one of those few brands which stands the test of time with grace. I bought 3 or 4 pieces from Chloé throughout my shopping years and I wore them for seasons (sometimes years!) later. Take for example that mini Chloé clutch I instagramed about last week (@confashions). I bought it back in 2000, one of my first net-a-porter purchases I must add, and last week I chose it over my other recently-purchased clutches for a formal event and I swear it looked brand new, of course with a little TLC. So classy and elegant.

On the subject of did you know that in 1966, Karl Lagerfeld was the brand's head designer, and under his direction Chloé became one of the most iconic fashion brands of the 1970's (source).

Anyhow, check out some of the gorgeous pieces I spotted at the brand's boutique in Al Thurraya Mall in Salmiya. And nope, they're not on sale.

Cute slightly oversized clutch...

I'm in love with Chloé two-tone accordion pleats for S/S 2012. They look so pretty when moving. Chloé's boutique at AL Thurraya Mall only received two pieces of this style. One is a flowy dress and the second is a top just like the one shown in the above runway photo (taken from style.com) but in green (shown below).

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.
