A New Name to Remember

With B.A in business from AUB and a strong passion for fashion, it was only natural for Nadine Mneimneh to follow her dream and pursue a career in fashion. So Nadine attended a styling course at Istituto Marangoni in Milan in 2004 followed design and pattern courses in Esmod Beirut. Several years later she jumpstarted her fashion career as a freelance stylist for advertisements, and pattern maker for a Ready-to-Wear atelier.

In 2010, Nadine launched her own Ready-to-Wear label and debuted her work as a fashion designer at the famed Starch Boutique in Beirut’s hip area Saifi Village. Her collection exudes well-crafted femininity that glides into a room and takes center stage. Think modern dresses and skirts with a twist of retro and a hint of oriental references.

If these pictures are anything to go by, Nadine Mneimneh will only go from strength to strength. I can't wait to see what she does next. Click here to explore more from this collection.

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.

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.
