I got to know about Mr. Selfridge through my colleague at work. The mini TV series centers on the early days of Selfridges, the most loved shopping destination for GCC shoppers in London. And it explores the real-life story of the flamboyant and visionary founder of Selfridges, U.S. retail magnate Harry Selfridge. I assumed since Selfridges is located in London, then it must have been founded by a British guy! I haven't seen the first episode yet, maybe over the weekend. But this is surely a genius branding exercise for the high-end retail department store.
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?
