A Whole New Level - Shoes Part I

If you're planing to spend this long weekend in Dubai, make sure to check out the newly opened multi-brand shoe district LEVEL, which I have previously posted about here. Located at Dubai Mall, the 96,000sq feet offers an extensive and carefully handpicked selection of shoes by distinguished mix of high-end and contemporary designer brands, limited editions, and exclusives. I've never lusted over so many pairs of shoes in one place as much as I did at LEVEL.

The boutique is segmented into designated multi-brand spaces and shop-in-shops such as Prada, Miu Miu, Dolce & Gabbana, Sergio Rossi, Tod's, Giuseppe Zanotti, and more. The multi-brand spaces stocked brands such as Nicholas Kirkwood, Pierre Hardy, Aperlai, Jil Sander, Sigerson Morrison, Aquazzura, Opening Ceremony, and so so so much more!

Allow me to share with you just a "few" of the pairs which I truly madly deeply fell in love with, starting with the Aperlai knitted wool dark red strappy sandals.

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.
