The W Hotel in Istanbul

If you're following me on instgram or twitter, then you'd probably know by now that I'm currently vacationing in Istanbul, Turkey. This is my first time in this magical city and I'm loving every minute of it thanks to tips from friends and family, and of course google. We're staying at The W Hotel, which may not appeal to a lot of people because of its dark lighting and very modern, sometimes impractical, amenities. But personally, I love it! I have a thing for this chain of hotels, remember my previous stay at London's W Hotel? It's very hip, private, quiet, well located, close to historical places and of course Beymen and Co.! Their concierge service is beyond amazing, the best I have seen so far, no snobby attitude, always goes the extra mile to help. Superb! Here are some of my favorite things spotted at the hotel.

Gorgeous chair at the Lobby area.. lots of pink neon lights throughout the hotel

The cieling in our room is covered with arabesque style design with a modern twist

Statement necklaces at the lobby's entrance... love at first sight!

Loved their Terrace, a cool place to chill out...

In love with the tiles on the floor

I like how everywhere in the hotel they incorporated Ottoman patterns into the contemporary design

Bliss products too? Two thumbs up!

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.
