Queen of Elegance

I don't know about you but I love seeing what royalties from our region have been wearing for formal events or even out and about. And they fascinate me even more when they show support to regional fashion designers. Recently, Her Majesty Queen Rania set a remarkable example of supporting regional talents during a grand ceremony held in Amman, when she paired her traditional caftan with Jordanian Designer aennis eunis's Arabic calligraphy clutch.

According to the designer, the Arabic calligraphy laser cut suede that created a delicate flap to cover the Bronze metallic leather clutch, was made specifically for Her Majesty and will not to be produced thereafter. I wish they would consider reproducing the design, as I'm sure it would look ideal to pair with our Ramadan caftans.

Also during the Diamond Jubilee celebrations, Queen Rania showed her support again by wearing Krikor Jabotian, shown in the photo below.  The Lebanese designer created her day outfit, a red pencil skirt and a three quarter sleeve top with a bronze gold dipped broche. "I believe it was a hit." expressed Krikor. And I couldn't agree more!

I have recently posted about Krikor Jabotian's amazing work here. 
Special thanks to aennis eunis and Krikor Jabotian for sharing the photos with me.

She almost has Kuwait and Kuwaiti written all over her sartorial preferences. The place where you live and are born begins to grow on you and its influence rubs off on you in every way imaginable.
Rania and I- we go back a long way. We used to be neighbors in good 'ol Salmieh back when it was still the silk stocking district of the Persian Gulf. I can see where she gets some of her fashion spunk from.

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.
