LFW: Shoes

My LFW's post today is dedicated for shoe lovers, of course Sophia Webster got her own post because I'm obssessed with her entire collection for S/S 2013. here are some brands that caught my fashion radar:

Parsons School of Design alumni Richard Braqo is a new London-based shoe designer who has previously worked with the Cesare Paciotti, Helmut Lang, and Acne Studios. His five-inch pointy pump with the unexpected ‘ankle bangle’ stopped me in my tracks. I love when classic styles get updated with unfamiliar elements. And because I have a soft spot for velvet (done in an un-tacky way of course), I loved the one shown below. Not sure how comfortable they'd be,

French Sole is not a new brand but I had to share with you these really cute laser-cut emerald green ballerina flats from their new S/S 2013 collection. It's so refreshing to see something completely different, in terms of design, from what we usually see at French Sole, you know the usual bow-ties.

And guess who I finally met in person? UAE designer Sultan Al Darmaki! I've seen his work on blogs and online magazines and I remember falling in love with his tassel shoes which he designed for previous collections. I think it was last year's? In person he is such a sweetheart and I was only allowed to take one photo of his designs, totally understandable, so I took a shot of this peach-colored sandals with a Baroque-like detail. I think his collection will be displayed at Harvey Nichols Kuwait soon.

Alejandro Ingelmo disco metallic blue stilettos shown below is what attracted me to the brand's display. I can just imagine how stunning they'd look on sun-tanned legs. I'm not sure if the brand is stocked anywhere in Kuwait, but the brand's name sounds very familiar. You can find out more by clicking here. The above photo is also some of Alejandro Ingelmo designs.

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.
