ON Motcomb

Last week AlOthman boutique has announced the launch of its sister store in London ON Motcomb. The boutique is located within walking distance of Harvey Nichols and right next door to one of my favorite and the most delicious deli/cafe in London Ottolenghi, which I have previously posted about here. 

According to ON Motcomb's website and instagram account, the bespoke space offers an exclusive personal shopping experience and is focused on selling luxury evening gowns and cocktail dresses by the biggest names in fashion including Balmain, Carolina Herrera, Elie Saab, Marchesa and more. They will also be offering exclusive pieces commissioned each season from Erdem, Giambattista Valli Couture, Marios Schwab and Zac Posen, whom by the way is not stocked anywhere else in London! Shocking I know! It makes sense to have a new destination for shopping focused entirely on eveningwear  in London because honestly whenever I shop for an evening gown at department stores, their selection is either limited or sells out fast because of the footflow, not to mention the distractions of shopping every corner on any department store whether the beauty section, contemporary, or accessories. 

As I skimmed through the boutique's instagram posts, I instantly fell in love with its minimal yet rich monotone interior, the wallpaper or the tiles covering the walls looked exceptional with its 3D effect. Apparently, the interior was designed by the talented Bahraini interior designer Ammar Basheir, whose previous work included the interior of AlOthman Bahrain, Plums restaurant at Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Bahrain, and Bahrain's National Theatre. And how cute are these french dogs silver statues surrounding the mannequin? Hmm.. shopping at ON Motcomb and then grab a quick bite at Ottolenghi? London anyone?? YES PLEASE!

ON Motcomb is located at 11-12 Motcomb St in London. Follow @onmotcomb to get their latest updates.

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.
