Event: DarUsha's Indoor Garden Party

Last night I passed by DarUsha, a multi-brand boutique for anyone who's looking for colorful caftans, Muhajababe-friendly clothes, and classy evening wear, to attend their indoor garden party celebrating the launch of Jeddah-based Boutique Sotra and its line of most-wanted turbans, cute collars, and simple-yet-sweet caftans.

I was hoping to get a closer look of the Knot or the arch turbans and try them out, I wasn't so sure if I'd pull the look off, but I was interested to find out. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Due to my prior commitments I came in a bit too late, so most, if not all, of Sotra's turban were already sold out. And according to PLTQ8, who organized the event, the turbans were sold out in 10 minutes of the opening.

So I browsed the freshly decorated boutique and took a closer look of its selection. Including Anaikka's rich and heavily embroidered metallic neck pieces, bolero jackets, and harnesses. They're quite fierce and I think they require a certain persona to pull them off. If they look familiar, Anaikka's pieces were used as part of the dancers' costumes at Madonna's Super Bowl halftime show performance. Scroll down for more of DarUsha's event and fashion highlights.

DarUsha is located at Burj Jassim in Kuwait City opposite to Discovery Mall.

Would you be able to tell us if DarUsha also carries such labels as Sabyasachi, Aki Narula, Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla, Ritu Beri, Neeta Lulla and Shobha Asar among others??

@ lingerista from Barrista:

Try out Samsaara boutique in Zahra Centre! They may have something you're interested in. A while back, Ritu Kumar was hugely popular in Kuwait but I don't know if she still has her own stand alone store for pret fashion; much less if any boutiques in the country carry her label anymore.

Ooh-la la! Me thinks the turban would go rather well with the kaftans.

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.
