Beautifully Blended Beirut - Part II

Still at Saifi Village, if you're looking for a place where they sell well-made, colorful, and embroidered caftans and ropes for your mother or even for you, then head to Assila (Pictured below and above). It's the perfect place to buy a gift for your mother or your foreign friends who like and appreciate middle eastern clothes.


Johnny Farah sells leather goods that look and feel fabulous. The clutches are even more beautiful up close. And what's even more fabulous? You can customize your own bag provided that it follows Farah's guidelines of leather design. Swell!

Starch is a relatively new boutique devoted to young designers in Lebanon. The concept of the boutique is the constant rotation of new ideas and debut collections by new designers. So every season four to six young designers showcase their work to the public.

Just look at those cute light pink shoe-boots/platforms at Starch boutique. The "it" place to go to for one of a kind items.

Hahah swell. You sound like cynthia rowley. :) anyways, ya I really like johnny farah, veeeery soft, velvety leathers! But I bought a pair of shoes and they hurt a bit from the back cause of the way the back of the shoe was structured. Otherwise, super-comfy!

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.
