Nichols & Nicholas


Ok, so those of you who are following me on twitter know that I went on a quick getaway over the weekend to the forever transforming, always enchanting, and our closest shopping haven: Dubai. I really enjoy going there, the food was great, the weather was amazing, and the shopping was just fabulous. I have a lot of things to share with you, so let’s start with my first shopping destination Harvey Nichols. I was mentally and physically ok shopping around HN, admiring this, trying out that. Until I spotted heels by shoes genius Nicholas Kirkwood, my knees felt weak, my heart was skipping a beat, and in some mysterious way I carried the entire collection in one had and untied my shoes with the other. I said to myself “OK. DON'T PANIC. Don't panic. They’re only a pair of heels. A piece of leather (ok! exotic leather!!), I mean, just how scary can that be? Right?” WRONG. It is the most terrifying thing to find the shoes you want only not in your size!! After breaking a sweat, I was saved by the sales assistant who found one pair in my size. Not bad, one out of the 3 “I-want-them-now” pairs shown in the below 2 photos. And to cut a long story short, we lived happily ever after. Of course other shoes that I fell in love with were: the Brian Atwood Studded PVC d'Orsay in the first photo, eye popping yellow colored sandals by Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen’s red and blue leather strappy sandals, more colored exotic leather sandals by Brian Atwood, aaand khaki canvas heels with two buckled straps detail by Chloé. The sale assistant offered me coffee while I was trying on the heels, I easily spent two hours (and a whole lot of money!) at HN’s shoe lounge alone. Crazy I know!

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.
