Celebrating Vika with Boutique N

So! Boutique N has officially launched its  Vika Gazinskaya S/S 2012 collection with a fashionable event. And the star of the event was of course the Russian designer who looked divine dressed in one of her own creations. The white dress had a huge bow decorating the back of its 50's like shape. guests at the event enjoyed sumptuous canapés while mingling and socializing with the designer and other guests. The entire collection was on display for the guests to take a closer look of the designed pieces. There was definitely feel-good energy surrounding the place. Scroll down from more photos of the event and what caught my fashion radars...

Retro-looking bracelets

Gorgeous ear piece as worn by  owner of Boutique N Aljawhara Al-Mahdi

Some arm candy by Hermes and Celine 
I loved the eye-glasses worn by Kuwaiti Designer Noha Al Roumi, I have featured her beautiful designs back in 2008. You can read the post here. If her pretty face looks familiar, she was recently featured on the cover of Kuwait's Marie Claire Magazine.

Stunning statement necklace


The Dannijo necklace is beyond fabulous! Worn by the lovely owner of Shoooh! Boutique. Check out her blog here.

That bag!!! GORGEOUS! Remember this one?

Perfect mix of prints... love it!
Exaggerated shoulders and bold graphic prints, what's not to love!
The new accessory to rock? The palm bracelet! Such a statement accessory. They were worn by two guests as shown below and above. I have seen something similar previously on my friend who got it from Frost Jewels. They all look eye-catching and pretty, not sure how practical they are though. I'll try to get more details on where these were made. 

Update: I've just received an e-mail from Aljawhara informing me that they actually do carry the arry the hand/palm bracelets that the guests were wearing. They're by Prive Jewelery and they're sold at Montaigne Market in Paris amongst other exclusive boutiques. And according to Aljawhara they're pretty comfortable and light, so you can move your hand around without any discomfort. They're the same ones Miroslava Duma has previously worn.

I love your blog! I was wondering if you could help me find that maxi skirt you have pictured above, the pleated one with the black, white, gray, and yellow/lime print. I've seen it before but can't seem to locate it or who designs it. Thanks!

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.
