Serenity Now

It has been oven-hot and dusty for over a month now. And I was in desperate need of a quick getaway. So I thought to myself "There's nothing like water and sand to refresh a dusty and stressed-out soul". so, I have decided to take off to Beirut for semi-cooler climate. I wanted somewhere quiet and serene. I have already been to Eddé Sands on previous trips (too crowded and showy, has amazing pools though, but mediocre beach). So being a beach person, I headed to a secluded beach in Jyeh, almost 30 minutes South of Beirut, called Lazy B.

Lazy B was like a piece of heaven in Lebanon. It was so serene, quiet, natural, and simply beautiful. The most relaxing beach I have been to in Lebanon. Here are some photos to give you a feel of the tranquility of the place.

Beautiful clean pool overlooking the blue waters, and the beauty of it is that kids are not allowed to swim in the pool. You only hear the sound of the waves.

Outdoor beds? Take your pick! It doesn't get more relaxing than that!

This is my favourite outdoor bed, it was so comfortable and soft.

And outdoor washrooms too with beautiful bright green walls and vintage-like sinks


You can say that my short trip to Beirut was mainly to relax, rejuvenate, and EAT! No shopping or staying up late! I'll share with you tomorrow some of my favorite restaurants.

Normally I would complain and say "don't give away our secrets!!", but I am confident that "our crowd" won't like this place one bit... no loud music, no silicone, no flash, no trash

I went last summer and had one of the best days ever. And the food is fantastic too!

Wow! I love it - will surely visit the place when I go to Beirut (next week...counting the days!).
Question to Georges / Confashions: do they have any kids pool or kids play area...don't worry, will make sure my kids don't "infect" the place with loud screams and noise in order to preserve the "serenity" of this amazing venue...

When I first saw them, I almost forgot that I was there to swim not to sleep!

Georges, your Lazy b is breathtaking! I’m definitely going there next summer. You have done an amazing job and I wish you the best of luck. :)

u know who
It depends what you are looking for, for affordable & budget friendly, try Palm Beach Hotel in ain el mrraissah. For stylish. quiet, and secluded accommodation, go for Albergo in Achrafieh, for big 5 star and a crowded hotel, try Phoenicia.

I loved their natural creek, the place was magical, we were the last to leave!

As far as i know, kids are not allowed to use the pool. But you can try Bamboo Bay which is only 2 km away from Lazy B, it's kids friendly and a nice beach resort.

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.
