Event: Harvey Nichols Kuwait

I attended Harvey Nichols Kuwait's VIP preview event last night, in which they celebrated the arrival of the multi-brand luxury store to the Avenues Phase 3.

They really went all out with the celebration, live music performances, drinks and canapés were serves, models dresses in evening gowns, the night was just perfect. And as I mentioned in my previous post here, the place is HUUUGE! 10,000 m2 (107,000 ft2) to be exact! Spreading on two floors. That's almost double the size of Debenhams in Phase I. So expect to spend at least 2 hours browsing the store.the The 2-Level store space is modern, bright, and very classy. I particularly enjoyed the various interior details throughout and the stunning chandeliers in the lavish fitting room areas. If you follow me on instagram (@confashions) you would see in one of the photos I have posted these amazing metallic streamers above the escalator space. Beautiful.

What was mind boggling to me was that by the time I was about to leave the store, some pieces were already sold out! Like Osman brocade cape jacket and Isabel Marant boots, so it was a good thing that I bought what I wanted on the spot. And that's what I kept telling people who I bumped into during the event, if you see something that you really like, buy it NOW. Obsessed much?

This is a gorgeous new addition to K-town's shopping scene. I just hope that I'll still be able to find parking easily the next couple of days with all of the new foot traffic they expect. I'll leave you now with some highlights of the event.

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.
