Villa Moda's Face Lift?

The other day I wanted to shop at Villa Moda's multi-brand department only to find this section closed for referbishment. The partition which had the announcement, was also showing a list of exiting (and maybe new?) brands. I was surprised to see some of the names such as Marc by Marc Jacobs, Current Elliott, Vera Wang Lavender? Really??

However my disappointed soon faded when I saw some of the multi-brad items relocated to the ground floor. For example, remember the area where Goyard boutique used to be? Well now it has been named Moda Accessories and has a bunch of cool brands on display such as Anya Hindmarch shoes & bags, Kotur clutches, GINA shoes, Nicholas Kirkwood, and some unfamiliar brands. The window display was neat. I wonder when the Multi-brand department will be re-opened.

Madeleine Vionnet XOXOXO.

Looks like the VM proposal of two or three sandstorm seasons back to take over the House of Vionnet fell through.

I'm not quite sure, I think Closet Candy is selling current/elliott. But you may try net-a-porter.com. I know they have them for sure.

Kinda sad that they couldn't spell "Tsumori" correctly. Who the hell is Tsumoti? Kinda kills their credibility :(

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.
