Keeping Up with Kuwaiti Kaftans

It's no secret that I love clothes, and especially Kaftans. I think I first became interested in kaftans at almost 9 years ago when I first started building my humble collection of kaftans. It was fun becoming aware of all the different fabrics and the use of vibrant (and sometimes neutral) colors to create something wonderful to wear during Ramadan by local and regional talents. That is why I suppose I have a great love of Kaftans. They are easy-to-wear, flowing, and colorful. They always make me feel as though I am on vacation at an exotic location. Just throw them on, wear a belt around your waist with shorts or jeans to go out with beautiful jewellery, and you're good to go.

Living in Kuwait means that when shopping for caftans, the choices are endless!! And I'm so glad to see the group of local designers whom I appreciate their talents and whom I regard as legit ones are growing by the season with designs that make you want to buy the entire collection. With the help of my dear friend, we managed to take photos of some really nice designs. And that's just a sample of some of the great local talents we have right here in K-town.

Who's your favorite local caftans designer?

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.
