It's All About the Shoes


I have long realized that I'm a shoe person. I like shopping for other accessories like jewelry and bags, but shopping for the perfect pair do not only complement my outfits, they complete me. From the day when I was a little girl dreaming of Cinderella's glass heels to my grown-up year and obsession with Carrie's collection, every season I fall head over heels for "the right pair", and to hell with my savings and comfort (in most cases)! 

While in London (are you sick of reading this sentence on my recent posts? Yeah me too!), I spotted a bunch of styles that either almost made me go bankrupt, or were not in my size. So kick off your heels and scroll down for some eye candy. Starting with Céline's knotted leather slippers, of course they were sold out in my size. Still on the hunt for these babies. There was the satin version, shown below, but they looked border-line boring..

STUNNING! I loved these Balenciaga tassel patent-leather sandals, they just scream summer! You can find them online here and here.

Balenciaga printed leather sneakers are a cool addition for casual chic weekends, you can find them online here.

It feels like buying a new pair of Miu Miu every season is a must to me! I had a hard time deciding between the jazz shoes and the lace-up sandals

You can't go wrong with an embellished pair of Alaïa sandals. 

I'm in love with these leather lace-up espridelles but I can't seem to remember the brand! 

I was thiiiiiiis close to buy Rick Owen x Adidas sneakers but my sister knocked some sense into me.

Should I or shouldn't I? Givenchy Diamante skate shoes were so comfortable! You can shop them online here.

Back to Alaïa, you can shop the plexi heels here and the flat version here.

Burberry surprised me, in a nice way, with this yellow python skin peep-toe heel

And if you're on a very very tight budget, Zara can come in handy! Can you believe the above shown lace-up black and cobalt blue heel is by the high-street giant?!! Amazing!

And last but not least, a good comfy pair of Nike's would also do! I loved the hologram detail and the textured material, so un expected!

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in  Miu Miu   Boutiques throughout our region.

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...

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?
