Introducing Ush

There are so many GCC designers and fashion entrepreneurs doing us proud by launching  their dreams. And  I always extremely proud showcasing them on my blog. Abeer Al Suwaidi is no exception.  The Emirati designer who was brought up in the capital of U.A.E., Abu Dhabi, majored in Communication Technology but always wanted to do something to make her feel close to her roots and so Abeer started designing Abayas as a hobby. Over the years this hobby grew and  the culture of abayas shifted from just being a tradition to a fashion statement  and started showcasing the charisma and confidence of today’s women. 

Believing in her motto of “aiming above the mark to hit the mark”, Abeer Al Suwaidi has created her own place in the industry: Ush Boutique. With it's captivating interior design, Ush Boutique is a showcase of over 30 renowned  designers of abayas, caftans, evening dresses, and accessories. Ush's style focuses on traditional pieces with a modern twist. "We are the only boutique in the UAE that has that many abaya designers in one boutique. Our designers are not only from the UAE, but from various countries of the GCC." Expressed Abeer.

People today recognize her as an independent woman who has always been brave in whatever she has done and is today a mentor to a lot of young girls.

Ush Boutique is located in Jumaira Dubai, near al wasel road and opposite to Emirates NBD Bank.

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.
