Bargain Bags

They say all you need is a statement accessory and your outfit is made, but sometimes finding that standout piece without breaking the bank can be a challenge. That's why the sale season is the best time of the shopping year to hunt for designer deals. Of course any item you spot must be well-studied before making a purchase. of course rule number one should be not to buy just for the sake of the discount. You should question how often it will be worn or if it will compliment your wardrobe or not. 

With this thought, I decided to showcase three statement handbags/clutches that I spotted at the sale of Harvey Nichols Kuwait, which I truly believe will stand the test of time. We have Diane von Furstenberg's lips clutch in a beautiful shade of pink, the designer introduced the same style for S/S 2013 as well. The before price was KD 119 and now it is priced at KD 83.

Pierre Hardy's signature color-block leather shoulder bag, which also can be worn as a clutch. This style has been introduced for at least the past 2-3 years, so it's there to stay. Price tag was KD 234 and now it's priced at KD 117. 

The Row covetable leather backpack is the uptimome of street style uber-chicness. Price tag was KD 1,239 and now it is priced at around KD 619 (OK I wouldn't call this a bargain, but for The Row's price range, this is a good price).

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.
