You Better Shop Around

After the Spring cleaning, comes the Spring shopping. So last week I decided to get busy and started my shopping spree at Villa Moda Shuwaikh (hence the VB collection), I was looking for something to update my wardrobe with, like a quick fashion fix. I wasn’t too impressed with what was in store. However, there were some items that made it to the “Confashion’s Interesting List” (which doesn’t necessarily translate to the “Must-Buy” List):

I found these Miu Miu black patent leather sling backs, which looked kind of OK on the shelves, but very adorable when I tried them on. The bow slightly covers your toes, making your feet look like a small fancy gift from net-a-porter. Unfortunately my size was sold out… so moving on to the next store…

Marni had its cruise collection on display, nothing special, the buyer must have missed choosing the key items from this collection. The color combination was fresh and semi-bright though. I liked the fuchsia clutch (how many Marni clutches does a fashionista really need?! Pass!). The super cute flats were also sold out in my size (hellooo crankiness, I'm not THAT crazy about them anyways).

The popular pop and punk 80s trend was obvious with this PUMA sneaker boots at Athlete’s Foot at VM. I wouldn’t buy it but I liked the color combination.

Prada, D&G, Dolce & Gabanna, Etro, YSL, Manolo, Gucci, Multi-Brand (Minus VB)? Boooring. Better luck next time maybe...

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.
