Event: Roland Mouret Resort and Spring/Summer 2014 Trunk Show at AlOthman Boutique

Last Monday, AlOthman boutique held an event in-store to meet the master of feminine silhouette designer Roland Mouret at its newly relocated boutique in Salmiya, Maryam Complex. Guests were able to instantly shop the designer's 2014 Resort collection and view/pre-order his Spring/Summer  2014 collections. First of all let me tell you, the new store is gigantic! A lot of my friends were overwhelmed by selection, which is certainly a refreshing way to shop AlOthman. More on that in a future post. Now back to the Roland Mouret event, Kuwait Jazz Trio were playing live during the event which set the mood right for the evening, and guests were served scrumptious nibbles catered by Le Notre

The funny thing is I've never owned a single piece by Roland Mouret even though I really wanted to for years. I always wished I'd fit into his iconic dresses like the Galaxy and the Moon. But that would need a fat-free body, which is to me too far-fetched. However, that nigh I have found THE Roland Mouret piece from his Resort collection, a white boxy-fit coat covered in fluorescent pink lace on its front side only. It felt so retro and so perfect for our winter. 

I Also had the pleasure of meeting the man of the hour, Monsieur Roland Mouret, who was extremely friendly to everyone, even the sales ladies. I don't think he has ever come across a nation so obsessed with instagram as much as ours! I hope he wasn't overwhelmed by requests to have his photo taken. I also had the pleasure of finally meeting the drop-dead-gorgeous and unbelievably friendly Raya Al Khalifa face-to-face, I've been following her for quite sometime so it was nice to finally meet the person behind those witty instagram posts. She's shown here in the photo-above dressed in her Roland Mouret black dress and lavish gold and black cape. 

As with most of events in Kuwait lately, the guests were dressed to-the-nines and looked impeccably stylish. Scroll down for highlights of the event....

Pretty in pink (and pink pineapples!), I loved how this super stylish lady attached the arabic letter pins by ecru to her ecru embroidered clutch, all available at AlOthman boutique

The fabulous Outfit Bakery looked extremely elegant in her little black dress, I'm in love with the shoulder detail, so very retro-chic!

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.
