Event: At Buzzart Summer Festival

Some days during the Summer I get really board especially these days when most of my family members and some of my close friends are out of town. So I was pleased when I received an invite to attend the opening night of FA Gallery's Buzzart Summer Festival, which have launched last night and will run until 29th August. The festival brings together unique creations and design items from different parts of the world. So I called one of my friends and asked her to join me. As we arrived, we noticed that the place was very lively and products such as shoes, accessories, caftans, ready-to-wear, house accessories & furniture, and perfumes were displayed in various spaces throughout the gallery. Although the exhibition space is kind of small, I did find several items that I really liked (excluding caftans! For some reason I didn't make an effort to scan them over)). So here some highlights of the evening...

I really liked these pair of aennis eunis arabesque heels which I have featured before on my blog here. Too bad they didn't come in half sizes! 

These clutches, made from wood and mother of pearl, are by a Brazilian brand and they're my 2nd most favorite pieces on display.  Starting price KD  197+. 
A new line of perfumes by Jenan Al Faris. I couldn't try them all, but 2 out of 3 perfumes which I have tried smelled really good! Price tag? Around KD 40.
Fahad Al Marzouq's shoes collection was on display too.

Lovely and very casual chic mix and unmatch tops designed by Beirut-based designer Nadine Mneimneh, which I have also featured here.

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.
