Struck By The Yellow Bug

It seems that spring's yellow bug has caught Al Othman. And I'm not complaining. I love yellow (especially bright yellow). It's the color for all seasons. Besides, brights were all over the spring runway shows. And I think this vibrant color makes a wise buy for cruise and beyond.

On my recent shopping spree I have noticed how yellow was dominating the racks and rails at my favorite boutique. So I decided to take a few snap shots of what's available now.


I liked this bright yellow beach-party-dress by Lela Rose. It can be the ideal transitional style. Wear with or without opaque tights, depending on the weather. If it's chilly outside, pair it with a long knitted chunky cardigan and stacked patent heels. For the summer, pair it with gladiator style sandals. Dress costs KD 359.



Another cocktail party dress by Lela Rose. The strapless dress with panel detail gives a fresh look and a nicer alternative to the LBD. Can be worn with a tuxedo jacket for a funky look. Or simply on it's own with a pair of grey or nude killer heels for an elegant look. Dress costs KD 298.



Mustardish yellow perfect-for-prom kind of dress by Vera Wang Lavendar. The shape of the dress is soooo easy to wear. It compliments all body shapes. And the little black brooches detail sets it apart from the common baby-doll look. Pair it with a shoe-boot for an updated style. The dress is sold for KD 179.

dear 4

many of the designers these days leave room for lengthening the top or dress so if theres anything that you like, check out if the hem can be lengthened.

Dear lala,

I own Brown, which is in Tala Center :)

Im also scared of yellow but I think I will enjoy wearing it with a tan.

One color I used to avoid was purple but ofcourse with the fashion this year I embraced it whole heartedly from top to toe.

I think my new color for this coming season will be royal blue and when i manage to get a light tan, yellow. So excited!

hey. i think the lela rose top one is boring and repetitive. and sorry bes for its lack of design and 3adyness it seriously doesnt seem worth it! really.. these newfangled brands have expectations that are too high! love Othman though. and i just got this super cute minijupe from MiuMiu this summer in BRIGHT yellow silk. so fab!

the second and third are cute but the first is not not NOT. not only does it look totally unspecial, plain and blah, but it is not even near worth that price tag for something so common looking. i could have designed that in my sleep and sewed it with my left toe. i pity the one who pays 300 kd for it!

Chanel Bags on Discount?!

If you thought that getting a cheap Chanel bag that's within your budget is something too far fetched, then think again. You'll be surprised to know that Chanel's boutique located at Salhiya Complex is currently selling several bags, that are a maximum 1 or 2 seasons old, on discount . And we're not talking about a 2 or 5% discount here, these bags are 50% off their original price! For some reason I always thought that Chanel bags never go on sale. But I guess the printed ones or the ones that are made out of the collection's main fabric have to go on sale. Anyways, I managed to take photos of these 2 beauties. What I love about those bags is that they're a classic shape that never goes out of style, their print is young and refreshing, plus they're quilted. I think they could be a collector's item. Both bags featured here are sold for approximately KD 250 .
