I Won the 2015 Arab Woman Awards!!!

And I won!!!! Yay!!! I'm extremely thrilled to have won last night's 2015 Arab Woman Awards in the "New Media" category. 

It's really something to recognize women’s exceptional contributions and achievements in the demanding world of business, education and other various fields of life. The Arab Woman Awards were established in Dubai in 2009 by ITP, the region’s largest publishers of women’s magazine in the region. The awards were launched in order to provide a culturally acceptable platform for Arab women to celebrate their achievements. 

I'm very thankful to be recognized for my over 16 years of marketing and business development expertise. I have started my career in the banking and investments sector for 14 years followed by 3 years in the marketing filed of fashion retail. Plus I have started my blog over 8 years ago and I believe I was quite committed to both my work and my blog, putting my family of course as my first priority. It's very tough I'm telling you and it's very stressful. But thanks to my husband and my family, my support system, I wouldn't have done it without them.  

Special thank you to my family, friends, and followers for the continuous support, and I hope I'll be able to meet and exceed your expectations. Thank you for everything.

Congratulations! Well Deserved especially when you are multi-tasking with all aspects of life!
Would you consider initiating a women's Diwaniya i.e. Business Community. That might be of great interest in the region.

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?

Magical Mode

As anyone who regularly reads Confashions may know, there are some designers I’ve been obsessed with for quite some time: one is the genius Erdem , the other is Nicholas Kirkwood , and Pierre Hardy . And because their designs are somehow easily accessible online and offline, I had the pleasure of featuring some of their creations and showing them the love they deserve. That said, there is one designer I’ve been particularly smitten with for quite some time. He has always been on the top of my favorite designers list ever since I was introduced to his designs by my fabulous fellow fashionisto Adnan Z Manjal   a couple of years back : Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi . I always wished I featured him more. I couldn’t because his pieces are very exclusive and as far as I know not stocked anywhere here. This clearly isn't just another post on my obvious love for Mohammed Ashi’s designs or the quality of his clothes as I have done that previously. Ashi simply deserves his very own epic p...

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.
