Glamorous Evening

I'm a wee bit late with my Dubai posts, which I have visited during the Eid holiday, as I've been quite busy lately with some side projects. There is just not enough time to get everything done, need to work on my time management skills. Oh well, you know what they say, better late than never. So in this post I'll be sharing with you some few evening gowns and cocktail dresses which took my breath away, three of which I've spotted at Symphony Boutique located at Dubai Mall. Check out this glamorous Zac Posen (if my memory serves me right) strapless gown shown in the photo above, I know that Zac Posen is stocked in AlOthman boutique as well, not sure if they have this one in stock. Symphony also had this extravagant red gown with puff embroidered sleeves on the window display also by Zac Posen.

And while shopping around Bloomingdale's Dubai, I spotted this block-colored cocktail dress which looked very familiar and then when I read the brand's name Fausto Puglisi, Anna Dello Russo's image immediately popped into my head. She's definitely the one who introduced us to this sassy brand. Not sure if I'd wear the brand though.

Oscar de la Renta's boutique in Dubai Mall had this fancy evening gown that looked like cotton candy, and I mean this in a good way! It's not something I personally would wear, I feel it's more suitable for a wedding host or on the red carpet. And last but not least, a hot fuchsia gown by Christian Siriano was another evening gown hit, it looked perfect, not too over-the-top yet very fancy and glamorous. Luv!

So what is your evening gowns and cocktail dresses shopping strategy? Do you buy one every season just in case you get invited to a wedding or a party? Or do you tend to play it by ears?

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.
