LFW: Obsessed With Sophia Webster

As much as I enjoyed attending fashion shows of some of the industry's renowned designers, my ultimate excitement (after meeting Tylor Tomasi Hill of course) was scouting new and under-the-radar designers at London Fashion Week. And on Day 2 of LFW, I officially made some room in my heart for relatively-new shoe designer Sophia Webster. Yup, she is sitting right up there next to Nicholas Kirkwood and Pierre Hardy. 

According to her representative whom I met, the designer has been working as design assistant to Nicholas Kirkwood since graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2010. Aha! That explains my instant attraction to her playful and oh-so-feminine designs, she's been mentored by shoe genius himself. She’s already been picked up by Net-a-Porter, Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Saks, and Colette. And I'm not surprised! When I took a closer look at her work I let out a loud sigh! I wanted them all! They all looked so fabulous and fun-looking to wear!

UPDATE: Designer has just commented on my instagram photo informing me that the collection will be available in Kuwait at AlOthman and Harvey Nichols by end of October. Can't wait!

Chanel Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection

I can't remember if I shared my views about Chanel's Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection on my blog or not, but I thought I'd share with you some photos of the pieces on display now at Chanel Boutique in Kuwait, Prestige in the Avenues and Salhiya Complex. I wasn't too crazy about the clothes. However, I did like some of the bags which had pompoms and tassels on them, as well as the gigantic pearl clutch. I also loved the Moroccan-inspired pointy flats and the silver jewelry adorned with coins and crescents. Of course the shoes were sold out in my size and I wasn't so crazy about the patterned ones. I LOVED the flap bag with Pom Poms, but it was above my budget. Overall the collection felt more Moroccan than Dubai-an. I wish if they have incorporate more of the our gulf region's culture into the designs. Oh And I added to this post photos of Chanel's milk carton shaped python clutch bag embellished with a CC signature. They're not part of the Dubai colle

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?
