Playing Dress Up

If you've been following my tweets, you probably know that I was busy yesterday on a mini fun project. What was it you ask. Well, I've been asked by DKNY representatives to style their mannequins using the collection available in store for an in-store event. Of course I gladly and enthusiastically accepted the offer "easy peasy" I said to myself. Little did I know! After a couple of hours and right when the idea started to sink in, I began to freak out! Because a) I haven’t done anything of that sort before, b) What do you mean I'll be using ONE BRAND only for styling!! It's like asking Consuelo Castiglioni to design an entire collection using ONE color!! c) Sure I love fashion but what if I fail?! Wellll, it was too late for me to back out, so I gathered up my courage and fashion sense and went into the store and started working, caused quite a mess in the fitting room where I was styling the mannequins (sorry DKNY sales people!). And I must say that the results were not bad at all if I do say so myself, and I enjoyed every minute of it! So without further ado, I present you with my five DKNY looks styled using ALL DKNY clothes and accessories... starting with this cute dress with red-lips print paired with a leopard print coat...

Thank you DKNY team in Kuwait (and especially Ms. Betool) for taking a chance on me and for your amazing cooperation.  DKNY boutique is located at the Avenues Mall Phase II. 

Rocking the maxi dress trend with this semi-fitted long sleeves maxi dress paired with a fur & suede vest, a fringed boho-chic bag, and a red skinny belt for definition, and finally a pair of ankle boots. 


The I'm-heading-to-a-formal-event look I paired a striped dress with printed silk vest cinched it with a skinny belt for some definition and topped the look with a pair of beautifully cut tuxedo jacket worn over the shoulders.
These sandals would look great with a pair of thick socks or opaque tights

The weekend look, a pair of skinny jeans with grey tank top, a double face fine knit cardigan, a very light weight khaki jacket (one of my favorite pieces), a cashmere scarf, a pair of tan ankle boots with buckle detail, and a leopard print shoulder bag
. 
The uber-chic look... in LOVE with this cape which I paired with a long sleeves shift dress, a pair of knee-high wedge boots, and the tiniest purse with chain strap.
Lined up all the bags and shoes to make my pick for the looks...

Not only did I love the looks, I bought the khaki jacket and I am going back for the tan boots for the weekend look which is totally me!

Just must make it a bit more 7ejab friendly that is.

Good job hon masha2 Allah 3leech! I would want to see more of these in the future. Georgio Armani started out as a mannequin dresser for that department store in milan next to the duomo, maybe one day you'll have your own fashion line :D

I'm saying expect more dress up to come your way. ^^

I loved the maxi dress look, very eye catching way of dressing it up for a simple piece.

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.
