Not a Bag Lady

Everyone who knows me knows that I'm not THAT into bags. It's something that I only realized a few years ago. I have nothing against bags per se- I gotta admit that some styles do excite me now and then. It's just sometimes I don't get it when some women become so worked up about getting a Birkin or a certain Chanel, or that their price tag is triple the price of 3 nights stay in a 5-star hotel in London! That's just too much! So the past year I have started to settle for bags/clutches that a) I like, b) won't break the bank, c)wearable time and time again. 

During my last trip to London, I was shopping with my sister when I finally spotted a clutch that caught my fashion radars. It was a Balenciaga flap-clutch made out of straw. It looked perfect for our Summer and was roomy enough to fit my essentials like mobile, keys, mini notepad, lipstick, and my mini wallet. And it was reasonably priced compared to the madness we see now a days. It was love at first sight. And then I noticed the huge straw shopper bag by Balenciaga too and was thiiiiiis close to purchase it as well, but it wasn't that practical, for me at least! It looked like the kind of bag you'd want to carry to the beach or out for a picnic. Anyhow, the clutch made my day, my sister was relieved to see me purchase a new bag as she got sick of the ones I carry. So it was a win win situation for all. 

I'd love to know what kind of bag you carry now and hardly change? Share your thoughts.

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.
