Dina Khalifé

Oh how I love getting e-mails from new designers! Allow me today to introduce you to Dina Khalifé, a Madrid/Beirut-based accessories and textile designer. She has started her brand in December 2011 through Rabih Kayrouz’ Starch Foundation, a non-profit organization based in Beirut that gives a chosen few emerging Lebanese designers the opportunity to develop their collections, enhance their skills, promote their brand and present their designs for a period of 12 months. I have previously posted about it here. 

Dina Khalifé’s collections combine silk, cotton and woolen scarves, charismatic jewelry, fun and colorful clothes and hair accessories. Each collection begins with scarf design, featuring hand drawn illustrations, and playful images on high quality fabrics. Intricate jewelry from themes or objects depicted in the scarves, as well as a range of clothes, further complement the creativity in each scarf harmoniously. The designer is planning on participating in exhibitions in Kuwait this year, but in the mean time, check out some of her amazing work below and if interested, you can shop it online here.

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.
