I have just recently noticed a new line at River Island called River Island Design Forum. Design Forum is a River Island initiative where it commissions fashion students and emerging talents to design a limited collection to be sold in select River Island stores (thank god Kuwait is one of them!!) under the Design Forum banner. I was quite impressed by some of the Design Forum pieces. There were some seriously cool shoes and dresses at very budget friendly prices of course, like this featured dress with sheer billowy sleeves (on the mannequin) which you can pair with a statement necklace and killer heels and no one would ever guess that it's from RI!! And these strappy beige and turquoise sandals with leather bow details designed by student Sophia Grace, I already have this name saved in my archives because from the looks of her designs, she's going to hit it big.
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?

but they look soooo painful! I can't stand wearing heels these days! :'(
I knooow! I was quite impressed! I think if the designer of the shoes starts manufacturing her designs at even a better quality factories, she will hit it big!
Wear them for special occasions where you don't get to walk much :P
