Multi-Function

It’s not only what you carry, it’s also about how you carry it. A bag’s function is undeniable yet it’s most important attribute lies in its ability to create the perfect harmony in any look. And Multi-colored bags definitely add to the wow factor!  You can easily contrast with your shoes and outfit while still hinting at the matching intention.

Last Night in Beirut: Exclusive ReCollection milia m

The act of creation is the most important part of fashion yet we barely get to get a glimpse of all the work that happens before clothes reach the flawlessly perfumed shops. Yesterday night was different. We were lucky to discover the world of milia m. The little map we received together with the handwritten invitation set the tone for what ended up being a very inspiring night. Milia Maroun, the creator and designer behind miliam m, told us the story of her brand right from the place where it all began and still begins, collection after collection ever since the year 2000. The atelier invited us to discover prêt a porter designs, iconic pieces and bestseller items which carry hints of colors and dynamic flows reminding us that in the midst of the giant retail craze, some designs are still intended for use not consumption.

This coming 21st and 22nd of March, the Atelier will open its doors for the public so you can order your preferred milia m iconic pieces by customizing them with the fabric of your choice and you can also benefit from the massive discounts on milia’s previous and actual collections. For more info visit miliam.com

milia m designs are available at their shop in Saifi Village des Arts, 1051, bloc D, .Lebanon.

We will Always Have Paris

Paris Fashion week comes to an end. We enjoyed going to the chicest supermarket but discovering what Nicolas Ghesquière had in store for his debut collection in Louis Vuitton was as refreshing and impactful. Change is good. Once again we are left wondering what is really “in” for the coming Fall. And once again, we will start at the end, cherish the beauty of the past, look forward to the future palettes and enjoy the spirit of the present while contemplating  our favorite looks! What was your favorite moment of the Parisian week?

Light Jeans

The light-washed jeans trend is picking up just as the skies are getting brighter. Pair them with a blazer and a statement scarf for a chic touch and add a cool clutch that pops up and screams Colorful Beirut. Lazy days always call for comfy happy clothes..

ONLY a Jacket

Those days. Ripped jeans, a white tee and a varsity jacket. Perfect ingredients to doing lots of nothings. Note: A black jacket with black leather sleeves is probably a lot more versatile than one with contrasting coloured sleeves. You can wear it with only everything.

Collaboration with Something Blue

There are two important choices a bride will have to make regarding her wedding: Whom to marry and What to wear. Choosing the groom should be easy if only you follow your heart…but the dress. Oh my! And here is where you thank your lucky starts for a place like Something Blue. We previously shared our thoughts regarding this beautiful bridal boutique in the heart of Beirut HERE.  But it was only a couple of weeks ago where we got to experience the real wedding frenzy. Cynthia Nakhle, owner of Something Blue, approached us and some fellow bloggers to play bride-to-be for a day. And we loved it! Guided by Cynthia’s advice, each one of us chose a gorgeous dress. It was definitely easier than expected.  She certainly made it fun, effortless and entertaining. It was also amazing to work with photographer Mokhtar Beyrouth and the spontaneity he welcomed while shooting at the beautiful boutique in Gemmayze.

Our advice: don’t just hit any store and wait for the dress to fall on your lap. Make sure you attend shops like Something Blue where you will feel at ease with the person attending you, where you will get the knowledgeable advice and most importantly, where you are bound to find a dress that will make your special day as memorable as it should be.
