LFW: Prêt-à-Porter Part II

I know my London Fashion Week posts seem seem to be never-ending, but I couldn't possibly post everything that I saw and liked in one post. I'm probably the only blogger who's still posting about LFW. But I promise you this, I only have one more post left and that's it. I'll be all done from LFW, so you can all breathe a sigh of relief. So in today's post I'll be covering some additional Prêt-à-Porter brands, which I did not mention in my previous post here.

Let's start with Paper by Kelly Townsend, designs featured in the first photo shown above. For her S/S 2013 collection, the  Central Saint Martins alumni was inspired by classics from the seventies. Think fun and bold colors, graphic prints, and flattering A-line shapes. I definitely see myself wearing her pieces.

Saloni is not a new brand, I remember seeing it at AlOthman Boutique and I think now it's stocked at Al Ostoura if I'm not mistaken. The brand is known for its vibrant, relaxed, and playful designs. I loved this textured cropped jacket from Saloni's S/S 2013 collection.

I spotted this beautiful knitted cardi/cover-up with Mexican embroidery by Carla Fernández, and all I could thing of is wearing it with a pair of comfy jeans and the most comfortable shoes and simply walk around London town. It looked and felt so cozy! Carla Fernández is a brand inspired in the geometrical and textile wealth of Mexican textile culture. You can find out more by clicking here.    

Opps... I really can't remember who designed this bright coral dress but it looked very cute...

I know Willow is not a new brand either, but I had to share a glimpse of the pieces they had on display for their S/S 2013 collection. One of Australia's most stylish brands presented was one of the few brands who offered pastel colors, in conjunction with black, for the new season. Everything looked so feminine and pretty.

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.
