The Halo Effect

This word is overused, but OBSESSED with Balenciaga's Halo hairband the moment I saw it on my super stylish friend S. Balenciaga's models sported the metallic hairband, either embellished with silver, twig-like shapes or plain, worn not on top of their heads, but around the back. This hairband is miles away from the Blair's Upper East Side schoolgirl look. While I was in Dubai a few weeks ago, I spotted the one with side horns/twig like details as pictured in the above photo and the one on the left. It really felt like wearing something similar to what greek gods did, but with a modern twist. The one I tried on was priced around KD 600 more or less, so cray cray! 

Anyhow, a few weeks later and during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia, I found out about this really cool Australian jewellery design label, Sarah & Sebastian by Sarah Gittoes and Robert Sebastian Grynkofki's. They began with the making of bespoke jewellery for friends and progressed into designing their own collection, which launched in September 2011. The design Duo recently collaborated with fashion designer Dion Lee to design special pieces for Dion Lee's SS 14 presentation, and one of their standout designs was this sterling silver hair trail, shown in the photo above on the right. I check their website and they didn't have it online, BUT they did have something  similar to it, check it out 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.
