Net-a-porter Hosts Dinner in Honour of Reed Krakoff

Natalie Massenet, Founder and Chairman of Net-a-Porter.com, hosted an exclusive dinner at the Haunch of Venison on Tuesday 19th October 2010 in London in honour of Reed Krakoff, who launched his first collection in February. Surrounded by fashion editors and Net-a-Porter VIPs, Krakoff - who is the talent behind the immense growth of the Coach brand - was toasted by the assembled guests before the dinner of wild thistle and chestnut salad, seabass with buttered spinach or beef with roasted shallots, before a pudding of damson poached blackberries.

Guests spent time trying on Krakoff's covetable bags and were given 15-minute private tours of the galleries on either side of the dining room before dinner.

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.
