The Ture Colors of Shoes

While doing my seasonal (more like weekly!) closet clean up to take note of what I need to buy for the season (as opposed to what I want), I came to realize that my shoe closet really lacked basic colors! I mean I didn't have any pair of brown, tan, or black flat sandals! Colors that are essential for building a complete summer wardrobe. Florescent? Yes.. and two pairs! Why would anyone in their right mind buy two pairs of florescent-colored shoes?!! Bright orange? Check. Red shoes? Absolutely! Hot pink? yellow? 3 shades of green? purple? Blues (lots of blues!)? Check, check, and check! And NO basic colors?! What can I say, blame it on impulse buying! So I decided to go to Sergio Rossi boutique in Salhiya Complex since my sister recommended that I check out their flat sandals in brown. I came in the store, and the first thing that caught my attention was the neon yellow one... and I fell in love with it even more than its boring brown version, the one which I was supposed to get...  I guess basic colored shoes and I are not meant to be... oh well.. old habits die hard.

Scroll down for more colorful shoes to love.

Oooooh Fendi Fendi! When it comes to designer shoes, hands down, they have the most comfortable heels, and one of the best quality too, in in my humble opinion. Plus, who doesn't love a ladylike peep-toe heels and a cute bow detail? This style comes in yellow/white and black/white...

Remember when I posted about Aldo's footwear collaboration ALDO Rise which i spotted during a recent visit to Dubai? The fashion project in which ALDO created with designers Mark Fast, Preen, Libertine and JW Anderson? Well guess what? I have found the missing Preen pair at the brand's store in the Avenues. I tired them on, and for some reason I wasn't as excited as I though I would be. Their price was tempting though KD 50 only! But something just wasn't right... I have to admin though they were quite comfortable. I also saw other styles (shown below) from the collaboration which were not available in Dubai.

Cute emerald green sandals from Uterqüe embellished with crystals. very Miu Miu like, no?

Baby, love your blog so much, I like everything you post!

I think it is better you choose the neon over the brown ones, you can add a basic color somewhere else in your attire. With me mostly my shoes are the accents of my outfit..!

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?

Magical Mode

As anyone who regularly reads Confashions may know, there are some designers I’ve been obsessed with for quite some time: one is the genius Erdem , the other is Nicholas Kirkwood , and Pierre Hardy . And because their designs are somehow easily accessible online and offline, I had the pleasure of featuring some of their creations and showing them the love they deserve. That said, there is one designer I’ve been particularly smitten with for quite some time. He has always been on the top of my favorite designers list ever since I was introduced to his designs by my fabulous fellow fashionisto Adnan Z Manjal   a couple of years back : Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi . I always wished I featured him more. I couldn’t because his pieces are very exclusive and as far as I know not stocked anywhere here. This clearly isn't just another post on my obvious love for Mohammed Ashi’s designs or the quality of his clothes as I have done that previously. Ashi simply deserves his very own epic p...

My Birkin... My Pride & Joy

Birkin ... Birkin .. Birkin ... you mesmerize me.. I'm so addicted to yoooooou . sitting galmorously in my closet is my hard earned blue Hermes Birkin Bag. To own it is like the ultimate fashionista dream. I look at it lovingly and think to myself " daaaamn ! you are one hell of a lucky girl! I shall protect you from the evil eye 'till the day I die ". My friend asked me once why am I so obsessed with my Birkin . I can list 100 reasons why. But just to be short & sweet, it's exclusive, expensive ( I saw a Birkin in vogue with diamonds on it's hardware. How much do you think it costs? ), it's hand crafted , it takes 2 whole weeks of dedication to produce one, and it's THE bag everyone in the fashion world admires. During a recent visit to The Comfort Shoe at Mariam Complex , I came across a Birkin look alike ( shown in the pictures above ). I have to admit, from afar the bag actually looked good. So I went in to check it out. And THANK GO...
