Hunting for Designer Trends

Popping in to Villa Moda Shuwaikh every now and then has become a habit of mine. So I went there the other day and honestly it is so much fun to shop the Villa Moda outlet these days because you get to find designer deals minus the utter chaos and excruciating long cashier lines which we used to go through back in the golden years of Villa Moda.

This is an ideal time to stock up on Fall/winterish discounted designer clothing to get you through the new season. And while I was sorting through the women's selections, I spotted so many pieces that are hot-on-trend with the season's biggest fashion trends. On my way to the fitting room, I found myself carrying over 15 pieces in hand (no I didn't buy them all!), and a pair of purple colored denim just screamed at me, and for around KD 30 I couldn't resist. One thing you can always say about this outlet is that it has quite the stock. Check out some of my finds...

Retro/60's trend? Check. Polka dots? Check. This Marni jacket has two trend! Was KD 237 and now it's priced at KD 59.250.

Hot pink is a huuuge color for the season AND resort! This Lanvin skirt was priced at KD 384 and now it's only KD 96.

I fell in love with this black and white lace evening top by Rachel Roy. The top is fitted on the.. er top, and has a beautiful flared like bottom, more like an A-line top. Just pair it with a slim-fitting satin pants and you're ready to party. Was KD 391 and now it's priced at KD 97.750.

Check our the detail on the back of the top

The most beautiful pleated maxi skirt I have ever seen so far. You can always count on Dries Van Noten for timeless and unique style. Was? KD 560 and now it's priced at KD 140.

My purple denim which I'll be wearing when the weather gets colder.

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.
