It's a (not so) Cruel CĂ©line

Sigh…  CĂ©line  shoes (heart heart). The most stylish way to step into the season. It's hard to express just how much I love  CĂ©line shoes. They're truly are some of the most staple shoes in my closet, remember last year's slippers with leather knotted details ? Yup, still wearing them to this day and they look on-point!

If I haven't had my black slippers, I would have bought these off-white beauties instantly.

It is also a re-imaging of the work of Jeff Koons . The artist were exploring the copy/paste syndrome, which reminded me of the topic discussed by Nuqat Foundation during their last event. Pictured above is Henna with patterns inspired by high end logos, like this one of Chanel's, it was on displa...

A few months back, the representatives of an emerging jewelry brand called Kamushki have sent me an e-mail to introduce me to their brand. I was familiar with their designs thanks to instagram's explore page, but I never found out the name of their brand until they've contacted me.  Kamushki  is a brand that was co-founded by two Libyan-born Switzerland/Dubai-based sisters who had an eye for jewellery and loved to travel to build a knowledge of other cultures.  " In Libya we are big believers of the evil eye and one of the symbols of protection that breaks the eye is the fish. ", expressed one of the founders of  Kamushki .  " In our Libyan traditional clothing there is always big gold fish intertwined within our heavy gold and also we tend to gift a bracelet or small pin with a fish when there is a new born ." Their brand is designed for the ' contemporary, chic and courages ’ woman, and the unique designs in the Wishbone and Cyrene colle...
