Event: Ecru

I was invited to the launch of ecru last night, which was held at Dar Al Funoon. ecru is a new Kuwait-based Homeware brand for those who enjoy simple luxuries. I have previously posted about the brand here.
Dar Al Funoon was transformed into something very cozy and magical, the entrance was decorated with Rumi lanterns that spun with last night's lovely breeze. And the entire ambiance felt more like visiting a friend's home than an art gallery. Each corner was utilized to give a different view, as you'll notice as you scroll down. ecru's selection of homeware gives you something a little bit different to add a touch of gorgeous charm to your home, all designed on the philosophy of beauty, comfort, and function. And it included all things nice for the home and garden, think pillow cases, napkins, stationary, serving trays and plates, lanterns, carpets, wall decoration, and even lounge wear. The perfect place to stock a wonderful range of gifts that you can spoil your family and friends with!

Scroll down for highlights of the evening, including fashion of course. The ecru exhibition is open to the public from 24th until 30th April. Opening hours are from 10:00am to 8:00pm.

Rumi lanterns lit up the entrance of Dar Al Funoon

I spotted the lovely talent behind Kuwait based brand Sirdab 6, Ms. Souad J A Al-Sabah. She was wearing one of her designs of course, and I loved the way it swayed as she was moving around. I can't wait to see her Ramadan collection.

How pretty and refreshing are the prints on these ecru storing bags?

In one section of the exhibition, the ecru team created a glow-in-the-dark children's room

I bumped into the lovely Hawazen Al Buaijan of goji boutique. Check out her arm party and that gorgeous Kotur snow-glob clutch.

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.
