My Shopping Spree at Villa Moda





If you're planning to go to Villa Moda's Sale at Shuwaikh then here's what you need to know:
  • If you don't have a Bottega Vanetta Bag then this is your golden chance to buy one at an unbeatable price. The classic hobo shaped woven bag is sold at KD 194. And it's color is pale yellow, perfect for the summer.
  • Don't bother to go to Etro if you're looking for clothes. A bit boring. But they do have a colorful patent belt that will take you through the summer and fall.
  • Sorry girls, the YSL "Downtown" bags are not on sale. But they do have nice shoes collection. I wasn't impressed by their clothes collection though.
  • Ferregamo? I skipped it. I'll only go there when I turn 45 years old or if I was shopping with mom. Gucci? Skipped that too for some reason..
  • Prada, forget their bag collection and head straight to the shoes. From classy chic evening shoes, to everyday casual & hip flats & sandals. Oh and yes, their Turbans are on sale, in case you want to pull off a MK & Ashley thing.
  • At Marni, you can find light coats for winter for less than KD 150 (3rd Photo). I fell in love with this coat and it was the last piece. Unfortunately, it was 2 sizes bigger than my size, so I didn't buy it. Maybe you want something new for Eid (remember it's going to be a sizzling eid so you'd better buy something light & summery).
  • I'm not sure but I think Manolo Blahnik's shoes were on sale...
  • Don't bother to go to the Multi Brand or Jeans Bar section. Nothing interesting.. (except for Anya Hindmarch's bags).
  • And finally, if you're looking for something dressy & eye-catching, go to Manish Arora, I liked his bright fabrics with golden leather disks & embroidery. My fave was his high-waist circular skirts (shown above). Just look at the details... it's surely not for the faint of heart. Nonetheless, it is well cut and extremely original. The skirt was KD 487 and now it's being sold for KD 243.

My last advice, don't even get close to "Glitter". The lamest thing Villa Moda has ever done. Such a waste of space.

Enjoy Shopping Everyone and let me know if you bought anything :)

Chanel Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection

I can't remember if I shared my views about Chanel's Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection on my blog or not, but I thought I'd share with you some photos of the pieces on display now at Chanel Boutique in Kuwait, Prestige in the Avenues and Salhiya Complex. I wasn't too crazy about the clothes. However, I did like some of the bags which had pompoms and tassels on them, as well as the gigantic pearl clutch. I also loved the Moroccan-inspired pointy flats and the silver jewelry adorned with coins and crescents. Of course the shoes were sold out in my size and I wasn't so crazy about the patterned ones. I LOVED the flap bag with Pom Poms, but it was above my budget. Overall the collection felt more Moroccan than Dubai-an. I wish if they have incorporate more of the our gulf region's culture into the designs. Oh And I added to this post photos of Chanel's milk carton shaped python clutch bag embellished with a CC signature. They're not part of the Dubai colle

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.
