Misha Nonoo

"That's a very interesting name!", I said to myself as I skimmed through the list of designers on Style.com.  I checked out the designer's latest Resort 2014 collection of preppy yet feminine pieces, and one look caught my fashion radars, dégradé stripe print pants paired with striped top with sheer microfilament knit detail. Being a total sucker for stripes (I'm not even going to tell you how many striped tops/skirts I own!!), I instantly fell in love! And I started browsing the designer's previous collections and found last year's resort collection is even just as charming if not more.

At that point I got so intrigued by this talent that I decided to find out more about the designer and that interesting last name, so I hit the search button to find out more.  

Apparently, Misha Nonoo was born in Bahrain, her mother is as English and her father is of Iraqi decent. She moved to London at an early age and studied in a boarding school. Misha attended London’s European Business School, as well as the prestigious Ecole Supérieure du Commerce Extérieur in Paris. It was during this time that she developed a long-term business strategy for her future label. And n Fall 2011, Misha debuted her collection during New York Fashion Week. Her cousin is Houda Nonoo. According to Wikipedia, Houda Nonoo is the first Jewish person, and third woman, to be appointed ambassador of Bahrain. She is also the first Jewish ambassador of any Middle Eastern Arab country, and the first female Bahraini ambassador to the United States.

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.
