Fall's Foot Candy

The moment I read about what I'm about to tell you. My heart started pounding so hard. I almost felt that the little fashion monster in me was about to unleash. "This is fashionably unacceptable", I thought to myself. "Here I am, trillions miles away from one of the most amazing events in the fashion retail history, while fellow shoeaholics are trying on the latest and the most stylish shoes around, and getting their coco AND "shoe stamp" while their at it!!".

Saks Fifth Avenue unveiled its new shoe department on its the 8th floor. The shoe department is so big that it has its own digits by the U.S. Postal Service: 10022-SHOE. And, yes, there are exclusive limited edition designer stamps and chocolate cafe. OK, THAT'S IT! I'm moving to the Upper East Side! I don't want my 11413 zip code anymore! I want my zip code to be 10022-SHOE! That's too far fetched I know, so mom, I'll settle for a quick shopping vacation to NYC over the Eid Holiday. Enough said, here's a list of some of my favourite fall shoes that are currently being sold at Saks.

Givenchy $440



YSL $575





Mr. Loubie Loubs (Christian Loubatin) $895




Oscar De La Renta $795







Brian Atwood $520



Giorgio Armani $ 725


Prada $ 520


Jimmy Choo $920



Miu Miu $595

The only pair of shoes you can get on saks.com from the ones that I featured are the Jimmy Choo ones. I find it a bit tricky to purchase shoes online, especially if you haven't tried a certain brand before.

I prefer open shoes too. They'remore fun to wear. :) Youmight find silver ones at Prada maybe? Good luck with your search for fall/winter shoes ;)

I am sorry but yuck all these shoes! They are like walking time bombs guaranteed to give you tendinitis, bursitis, metacarpalitis and just about every possible " itis", there is.
Go for platform heels, if you must but think stilettos think chiropractor and orthopod.

I Love Leather and am not ashamed to say it
I know heels are bad for you. But I just can't help it. They look good, they make ME look good. So i don't mind to pay the price :)

Is it okay for men to wear heels and to dab their eyes with kohl?
Do you think it adds to their sex appeal in any way?
In recent times I have seen many about me among Q8's "caviar & champagne set" wearing eye make-up and in their pointed high heeled Jimmy-Choos I mean 'shoes'.

It's up to them if they want to wear make up or if they don't :) it's all a matter of personal taste.

Kaftans for Cabin Crew? I don't think that's practical.

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.
