Artisans du Liban et d'Orient

A trip to Lebanon wouldn't be complete without a trip to one of my favorite shopping spots in Beirut, Artisans du Liban et d'Orient. I first found out about it almost 13 years ago thanks to lovely my sister-in-law. It's a place where you can find authentic, artisanal clothes, jewellery (beaten silver and gold cuffs), home accessories and furniture, and artifacts. Bear in mind though, the selection is not as big as Orient 499, nor the display is as pretty as Orient 499, but still there is something magical and captivating about this whitewashed showroom. Located at Ain Mreisseh, the place is tucked away behind an unmarked passage on the Corniche seafront, which gives it a sense of privacy. I've heard mixed rumors about this place, like it will shut down, hence the major clearance in-store and the short opening hours, and some said the owners are not as into the business as they used. I don't really what's going to happen to Artisans du Liban et d'Orient, all I know is that I don't want it to go out of business. Scroll down for more of my favorite items that were in-store.

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.
