Oh What a Night

Confashion sings: I'm so excited and I just can't hide it And I know I know I know I know I know I want your office!

May I start this last London post (phew!) by stating that I now believe in love at first sight. Siiiiigh, Net-a-Porter… How do I love thee? Let me count the ways

Yours truly was invited to a private Net-a-Porter’s Denim boutique pre-launch event, which was held at their brand spanking new HQ located in Westfield shopping centre.  How can someone possibly work and save money when the mall is just a floor away.  Beats me! May the saving force be with you net-a-porterians. Anyways, the event was held to introduce their new online denim boutique, chat with style advisers for some tips, and enjoy their denim presentation of what they had to offer.  

So.. Let’s count the ways, shall we?
  • The massive office floor space with white chandeliers hanging above and ceiling to floor windows! (Hire me!) 
  • The fact that the Denim Online boutique allows you to filter 20 denim designers by silhouette, wash, fabric type, and rinse (but you already know that by now!)
  • How perfectly organized the event was thanks to the diligent Miss L and her heartwarming smile
  • The canapés (Yes please!)
  • Very friendly style advisers (Thank you Miss A)
  • I had the great privilege of meeting prominent fashion critics
  • The way models were styled and dressed to give us a tip or two on mastering chic street style effortlessly
  • Holly Rogers, Head Buyer for Net-A-Porter, admiring my necklace AND shoes! (A compliment by itself)
  • The mall was just a floor away!
  • The fact that they took the extra mile by having a dedicated team to literally try on every denim style they carry, in order to offer you the best fit and style advice. Jeanious, no?
  • Mr. N who made me feel like I'm visiting an old friend
Thank you Net-a-porter for such a memorable experience and I’ll leave you now with the photos..

I'm falling in love with these Lanvin chain strap pumps and also these suede chain-detail pumps


Alaïa can do no wrong! Look at these fierce heels!

I didn't think that Alexander Wang Alla peep-toe wedges were THAT flattering (heart!)

I know!! HUUUGE office space!  That's where all the hard working net-a-porterians do their magic!

The boardroom, where all the brainstorming happens. 

Natalie Massenet.. You are officially one of my idols!

Extremely cool! I'd be going back and forth to the "clothes room", if they have one, whenever I have a break just to "make sure" everything's in order :P

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.
