Exclusive: Sneak Peek of Vika Gazinskaya at Boutique N

Last week I have posted about THE event of the week, which is supposed to be held tonight at Boutique N in Burj Jassim and I'm telling you, you don't want to miss this one.  Boutique N will be launching Vika Gazinskaya's S/S 2012 collection, one of the the most anticipated collections of the season by one of the hottest street style icons.

I'm thrilled to share with you here photo of the unbelievably sweet Russian designer Vika Gazinskaya giving her final touches and making her final arrangements to the display alongside the boutique owners in preparation of the event tonight.

I had the pleasure to interview Vika, who's by the way extremely sweet and I still can't get over the fact that she actually complimented my shoes and necklace!!, I was really interested to know what inspired her designs and what's her take on being a street style icon, more on the interview later. I was also pleased to meet the super friendly boutique owner Al Jawhara, who expressed to me how she first met Vika and Miroslava Duma when they visited the showroom in Paris. "This collection is very limited in pieces as it's the first time we introduce the brand to Kuwait, so far we have received fabulous feedback", said AlJawhara.

Boutique N is the first boutique to stock Vika Gazinskaya's line in the Middle East. Currently Vika's collection is being sold at Colette boutique in Paris.

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.
