For the Love of Shoes

You know that feeling when you say the wrong thing to someone, realize it later, way after it's too late, and then feel stupid about it for days afterward? That's exactly how I would describe my current obsession with this season's shoes! While shopping in London last week, I promised myself not to buy any shoes because I bought waaaay too many than I actually need! So I decided to simply admire the fabulous shoes from afar... tried on a couple of pairs, daydreamed what to wear them with. And then the sales lady interrupted my fantasy with her "Shall I wrap those for you" kind of question, and unfortunately I coyly replied to her with the wrong answer: "Yes". Why couldn't I just say No?! As simple as that. How do one recover from such obsession?! Especially when surrounded by Balenciagas (featured in the photos above and below), Nicholas Kirkwoods, and Olympia's of the season.

I'd have to sell my ticket back home if I ended up buying all the pairs that I saw and loved in London :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.
