A mood board matters, simply because it’s the place where all inspirational elements meet and potentially inspire designers to create interesting work. So we happen to love their rawness as much as the final outcome itself. The below nail art was inspired by the Style.com/Arabia – DDFC Fashion Prize finalists mood boards, in partnership with Woojoh.

Following rules is useful but following them blindly can actually lead to disaster, sometimes the fashion kind. There are some basic principles that stylists and fashion experts out there use to create the perfect look but it doesn’t necessarily mean that everything always works, and for everybody. So we say look at the mirror, then at your closet and set some rules to yourself. Make sure they are practical, sustainable and never eternal. Change them once every little while, and rediscover new trends and different options! Continue reading “Follow the Rules”
Culottes have a subtle way of saying I was going to wear a skirt but I can’t be bothered. They sit high up on the waist giving all those cropped tops we love a pairing chance while accentuating the waistline. Their roomy structure and cropped hemline show off just about the right amount of leg to parade those beloved flats or statement heels. Continue reading “The Skirt Alt”
Her fashion sense is the visual equivalent of a diet that cuts out junk food and lives on the excess of pineapples. She twists and turns trends of today, yesterday and a few decades back to create her very own style. You just have to check out her blog to see that if it’s predictable, she won’t wear it.

How does it feel? Pretty much like that new hair cut, expensive bag bought on discount, the first bite out of your ice cream and meeting up with your bed after a long day, all happening in that same day, a Friday probably.
Yes, we are happy! We retouched the blog, injected it with new life by simply changing some tiles and painting the walls, all while making friends on blog forums as we discuss why widgets don’t always work. Continue reading “NEW FEEL”
The first badge we remember wearing was that of our school uniform, royal blue SJT initials resting on an impeccable white background, complemented by three stars.Fast forward a couple of decades and we are back to wearing badges but this time with more colors, a dozen of stars and a tribute to another place that has taught us a lot, Beirut.
Everyone has one, two or few pieces, carefully stacked in their closet, that have been worn decades ago and will probably be worn again. If you do, your fashion life has been well lived! When the virtuous circle grants us the opportunity to celebrate classic items like the traditional paisley-patterned bandana, we rejoice at the possibility of wearing a long lost item and probably correcting any fashion decision we might have done in the past using all the inspiration we have gathered since then.
Most of our waking hours we are punching in at work, running errands, and trying to look good while at it. Though we love striking red lipstick and glowing dark eye shadows, the make up we use the most is simple and light. Here’s our top 3 favorites for this season:
Clinique Chubby Stick-Roomiest Rose: You get the color plus the moisturizing effect minus the need for sharpening.
The sad fate of trends is that they come and go. Sometimes that particular hue we see all season can smoothly disappear the next. Some trends are recycled, adjusted or simply reintroduced to the market, a vicious circle we are pleased to reinforce. But what we appreciate dearly are hybrids, the mixture of two or more seemingly different items to create a new something. Continue reading “Hybrid Coat”
Stories have it that somewhere between October and November, there’s a second summer in our scenic hometown, Ehden. They say the weather starts getting really cold so most people will pack their belongings and bid farewell to what was probably the best summer of their lives. Only the brave stay and after enduring the foggy mornings and freezing nights, they will be rewarded with sunshine, lots of it.
