Window Shopping until Pre-Fall and Fall

It's July. And by now I think I've had enough of what's being offered on sale around town. I'm bored basically and I'm in desperate need of seeing pre-fall and fall merchandise right there in front of me (not virtually) for some fashion stimulation. So until that time comes, I decided to do some window shopping at different home accessories boutiques. My only worry was that my window shopping might turn into an extravaganza for spending my hard-earned money on items I really really don't need! Fortunately that did not happen. Anyways, here are some of the really cool items I have spotted here and there..

How cool are these set of tea glasses (istikanas) with padded sleeves shaped as guy wearing a tarboosh. Available at Turquoise boutique in 360 Mall.

Colorful triangle shaped tables to add zest to boring rooms. Available at B&B boutique in Al Tilal Complex

Loved this very artistic and huuuuge center plate. The photo really does not do it justice. Also at B&B boutique.

Another huuuuge and a statement piece at B&B. It's a plain chandelier from the outside but the inner side of it has a beautifully carved floral details.

I forgot the name of this boutique (was it Kenzo Maison?!)but it was at Al Tilal too. Now THIS is the kind of piece I'd like to have in my living room. So classy! I already started referring to it as "my couch"!

Silver hammered tables to match "my couch"

Check out this footstool from Kenzo Maison shaped as Kenzo's Pagodon Bag which I have featured before here. So pwety!

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.
