I was passing by the window display of TOUS boutique in the Avenues phase II when suddenly I got transfixed by two of the strongest words in Carrie Bradshaw's dictionary: MANOLO BLAHNIK! Whaaat?! I didn't know there was a collaboration between Manolo and TOUS!?! So I went in to check out the limited edition collection. I don't know why I expected a big selection of items, I was surprised to see three pendants only and they're different in sizes. I was like "That's it?!" And the sales lady nodded. The pendants came in silver, gold plated, and real yellow gold and had the shape of Manolo's iconic Mary Janes. I liked the one with the smallest charm (Around KD 88). The sales lady later informed me that they also had one charm which comes with one diamond (You could barely see the diamond) and that it costs around KD 500+. I still preferred the smallest charm. A cool gift to the shoeaholics in your life.
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?
