Level Shoe District

If a genie granted me a wish, or even said to me, "You are going to be confined to remain in Level Shoe District for the remainder of your life" I would most assuredly respond with "THANK YOU!" with a lustful glance accompanied by a long and a happy sigh.

Level Shoe District is not new to us, I have posted about it previously here and here, and I'm pretty sure everyone knows about it by now thanks to other media outlets and frequent visits to Dubai Mall. The store is ... everything I could ever want or ask for from a show store, gloriously laid out in the most divine manner one could ever imagine. Just imaging having access to over 250 designers, all under one roof in 40 carefully selected boutiques and 4 distinctive multibrand area! And that's not all! You'll find a chic cafe named VOGUE, a personalized concierge service, a cool area to buy contemporary books, kitsch toys, quirky gadgets and one off accessories, aaaand a beauty lounge for your soles. Needless to say that I was waltzing around in a highly euphoric, and financially damaging, state.

You'll find brands like Prada, Miu Miu, Dolce & Gabbana, Sergio Rossi, Tod's, Giuseppe Zanotti, Nicholas Kirkwood, Pierre Hardy, Aperlai, Jil Sander, Sigerson Morrison, Aquazzura, Opening Ceremony, and so so so much more. Anyhow, here are some of my favorite pairs, and a couple of odd ones that can be only admired from afar for their creativity and boldness (Hello Celine and Prada).

OK, these KENZO flats are not my favorite pairs but I have a feeling they'll appeal to a lot of people so I thought I'd share, just in case you're looking for them.

IN LOOOOVE with these Aquazzura Pina Colada sandals, these are just a match made in heaven for anyone looking for quirky cool flat sandals.

Viktor and Rolf bow embellished sandals (heart heart heart)

Another style that I really liked is by Charline de Luca, I've never heard of this shoe designer before, but I like what I'm seeing so far.

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?

Magical Mode

As anyone who regularly reads Confashions may know, there are some designers I’ve been obsessed with for quite some time: one is the genius Erdem , the other is Nicholas Kirkwood , and Pierre Hardy . And because their designs are somehow easily accessible online and offline, I had the pleasure of featuring some of their creations and showing them the love they deserve. That said, there is one designer I’ve been particularly smitten with for quite some time. He has always been on the top of my favorite designers list ever since I was introduced to his designs by my fabulous fellow fashionisto Adnan Z Manjal a couple of years back : Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi . I always wished I featured him more. I couldn’t because his pieces are very exclusive and as far as I know not stocked anywhere here. This clearly isn't just another post on my obvious love for Mohammed Ashi’s designs or the quality of his clothes as I have done that previously. Ashi simply deserves his very own epic p...

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.
