Qirdala

Qirdala is a new jewelry boutique founded by Kuwaiti entrepreneurs Dhari Al Nafisi and Nasser AlBader and opened at Al Tilal Complex last week. I was invited to the launch and managed to take these photos of the interior and the jewelry on display. They're currently exclusively stocking a Greek jewelry brand called Apriati, which means strong desire for having beautiful possessions. The brand Apriati, is the brainchild of two young Greek designers, Athina Axioti and Themis Bobolas, both educated in Italy. 

The jewelry on display were designed to be worn casually to add a bit of luxury to your day-to-day outfits. And the designs were a mix of gold, diamonds and other precious stones, complemented with unexpected materials like silk cords and leather. My favorite piece was the leather bracelet decorated with precious stones and diamonds which you will find a photo of as you scroll down. 

As for the interoir, it looked beyond amazing. I loved how the jewelry was displayed on open drawers and the way a party of lightbulbs were dangling from the ceiling. Beautiful! The interior was designed by the talented Kuwaiti intrior designer Yousef Al Ibrahim, whom I have previously featured on my blog here.

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.
