I'm Back and A Burberry Brief

So I'm back from my quick London Fashion Week trip. I had to cut it short due to personal commitments, and unfortunately I missed attending amazing shows such as David Koma, Peter Pilotto, Christian Blanken, Louise Gray, Richard Nicoll, Burberry Prorsum, Roksanda Ilincic, Emilio de la Morena, and more. Nevertheless, this trip was definitely the highlight of my blogging career. Attending amazing shows, sitting front row, meeting the movers and shaker of this fashion industry, observing the amazing work by new talents up close?? Everything was so surreal and it happened so quick. I keep thinking about it the whole time. It's like someone took a tape and put it on rewind (tape? yes I'm a true 80's kid!). I'll be sharing more of my LFW experience today or tomorrow.

Speaking of which, did you manage to watch Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2013 womenswear show live streamed on Confashion? If not, you can replay the video here. I always look forward to Burberry Prorsum's fashion show because I'm always eager to find out the brand's latest interpretation of the classic trench coat. This season, Burberry didn't cease to amaze us. Tench coats came in all gorgeous details, think lace, feathers, metallic, little capelet attached, puffy sleeves, fitted, and even ombré. Makes it so hard to settle for one! Oh and that siren red shade on the lips of Burberry's models? So pretty! It gives that strong, feminine attitude of this season’s Burberry girl. 

And what did you think of the music? Amazing ha? Here's the playlist in case you want to download them on your music player:

Chanel Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection

I can't remember if I shared my views about Chanel's Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection on my blog or not, but I thought I'd share with you some photos of the pieces on display now at Chanel Boutique in Kuwait, Prestige in the Avenues and Salhiya Complex. I wasn't too crazy about the clothes. However, I did like some of the bags which had pompoms and tassels on them, as well as the gigantic pearl clutch. I also loved the Moroccan-inspired pointy flats and the silver jewelry adorned with coins and crescents. Of course the shoes were sold out in my size and I wasn't so crazy about the patterned ones. I LOVED the flap bag with Pom Poms, but it was above my budget. Overall the collection felt more Moroccan than Dubai-an. I wish if they have incorporate more of the our gulf region's culture into the designs. Oh And I added to this post photos of Chanel's milk carton shaped python clutch bag embellished with a CC signature. They're not part of the Dubai colle

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.
