Cruising the Bospharus

During our stay in Istanbul-Turkey, we took the public ferry where we saw many beautiful houses around the heavily-populated shores of Bosphorus river. The river separates the Asian from the European parts of Turkey. It must be really nice to live in a house with a terrace overlooking the blue shimmering waters of the river, such an incredible view! And of course it's typical for us as Kuwaities to wonder how much would it cost to buy a land overlooking the Bosphorus, and start comparing their prices with the insanely overpriced real estate in Kuwait.

The trip was kind of long and I got a little bit bored at the end, but it was interesting to see Istanbul from a different perspective. A must if you're staying for a minimum of 4-5 days in the city.

Garden party anyone?

Tanning beds on the front porch of your house? Yes please!

OK, I'll take the top floor of this house, actually i'll take anything with a sea view.. yes even the garage!

Whosoever living in this house are definitely not arguing about who has the best view... and that's not all... check out the rest of the house in the photo below... it has a guest house attached to it, and 3 lounge seating areas too overlooking the bosphorus river... Niiiice.

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.
