I loved the turquoise Oscar de la Renta beaded tassel earrings the moment I saw them dangling and swaying on Serena's ears of Gossip Girl. Of course the turquoise earrings were soon sold out with a blink of an eye, and I ended up buying the navy version of the earrings from AlOthman boutique, because they looked just as glamorous minus the fun brightness of the turquoise ones of course, plus they were on sale so I couldn't resist. Last week, I found a shorter version of the beaded tassels in a fabulous shade of emerald green, one of my favorite colors, at Oscar de la Renta's boutique in Dubai, part of their new pre-fall collections. I immediately got them because the tassels were just perfect in length, and of course they will be adding spark and sparkle any outfit, especially black-colored ones. I also found another pair in maroon, and ivory white (but had long tassels). I also found some really nice statement necklaces and retro-like earrings and bracelets from the pre-fall collections. They also had the cutest floral dress... more on that later.
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?

are they ?
They're not too heavy, I've worn heavier stuff... and I think the fact that they're clip-on makes them easier and bearable to wear :)
