Vintage Reconstructed By Bambah

My friend once told me that vintage shopping is an acquired taste, a statement that I only believed in a couple of years ago. I didn't realize how exciting vintage clothes and accessories are until a few years back when I was rummaging through my mom's closets and found a couple of really beautiful dresses from the 70's and 80's (one of them were her wedding dress) and in amazing great codition. Honestly I was suprised to find vintage stuff in my mom's closet because she tends to declutter things every minute! I was happy to see that she managed to hold on them.

Speaking of vintage, the other day I have received a very cool invite from Bambah Boutique, Dubai's number one shoppig destination for vintage clothes and accessories. The boutique offers an exquisite treasure of vintage fashion from the 1930’s to the 1980’s, a mixture of everyday classics and designer pieces such as Yves Saint Laurent, Lanvin, Dior, and Nina Ricci. The invite came with a small sewing kit, a lookbook with real denim as a cover, the boutique's brochure, a cute sleeveless top with studded collars, and extra buttons and zippers (I think to customize the top maybe?). 

The invite was to celebrate the launch of Bambah Boutique new line Vintage Reconstructed, a new casual chic line by the boutique's owner, where she designs one-of-a-kind pieces made out of re-fashioned vintage and give the pieces a very modern on-trend look. Think military jackets, colored denim, colors, buttons, studs, and  more clothing with an attitude. Unfortunately I couldn't make it to the event which was held in Dubai. But you can view the collection here

Thank you  Maha of Bambah Boutique for the cutest invite!

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?
