Tanning 101

There is always that time of the year where your tan is still work in progress. If you are lucky, it shouldn’t take more than a couple of weeks, but this year June has been grumpy. Meanwhile, colorful dresses seem the easiest way to get the sought-after color. Striking prints with bits of neon will do the trick. Their brightness will contrast with your skin giving you a slight tan while patiently waiting for that sizzling sunlight!

Sunset with GS

GS stores have been around for quite some time (40 years to be precise this month!) And since we are in birthday mode (blog is turning 1 on the 25th), we wanted to celebrate in color, glorious Technicolor! When the GS marketing team invited us to their shop to take a look at the collection, we couldn’t resist these shorts. There’s such joy to this look. Just by looking at it, our serotonin kicked up a notch! Here’s to four decades of fashion, style and eye-catching sunsets.

Fashion Flashback

They say that one shouldn’t get distracted by the hype of fashion and the hundreds of looks offered every season. You should chose whatever you like the most and make it work! Well, it’s definitely easier said than done and there is always that space in the closet reserved for items with intact tags- those things you happen to buy on the spur of the moment after having read vogue or gone for a stress-relief shopping spree. But we honestly think that dungarees are not one of those items you only wear once. Their versatility is wide and with the bare midriff trend at its peak, we can now easily style this childhood staple. Fashion flashback at its best!

Dungarees: Asos

Top: ONLY

Shoes & Bag: Michael Kors

Bracelets: G Accessories & Too Late

It’s getting HAT

Some people get away with wearing hats even if it’s at night. We’d rather keep it safe and stick to sunny days! And we have plenty coming ahead so a casual tee, fitted jeans and the deal is set!

Selfie Epidemic

There was a time, not so long ago, where you couldn’t see a picture immediately after it was taken. You took it with your Kodak or disposable camera and had to assume and hope that it was a good shot and just move on. Yet somewhere down the line, for better or worse, we became obsessed with capturing the moment even when the moment only involved us. The selfie happened. Not so sure about our feelings towards this trend but certainly satisfied with wearing it!

Bagdreaming

They say there is no harm in daydreaming, and then bagdreaming shouldn’t be a problem either. Our latest fantasy: Mansur Gavriel. Its clean lines, bright interiors and chic silhouette make it an absolute must have. Established in 2012 by Rachel Mansur and Floriana Gavriel, Mansur Gavriel’s warm natural leather bags have become a sensation that is almost sold out everywhere. Getting your hands on a  Mansur Gavriel isn’t easy but that’s the beauty of a dream, once you do, it feels magnificent! We were lucky to find our tote bag on Netaporter.com before it sold out. But here’s some really exciting news: The label is launching e-commerce on its site early this summer! Eventually, dreams will come true!

Denim Outlives

Ripped jeans have outlived many seasons. There is something so laid back about them that even the fashion industry can’t be bothered to give us an updated alternative. And so we play around with new comers like colorful slip-ons and pastel colored jackets. The word effortless comes to mind.

 Jeans: Zara

Tshirt: Pull&Bear

Jacket: Zara

Slip Ons: American Eagle

Last Night in Beirut: Dina JSR Boutique Opening

It is always gratifying to see outstanding talents. It is even more gratifying to see that these talents are Lebanese. Our latest designer crush: Dina JSR. Last night we got the chance to discover her fifth collection, Crystal Waters, in her new boutique in Saifi Village, Beirut. It has a showroom, a workroom and magic, lots of magic. Designed in Beirut, handcrafted in France, Dina JSR collections thrive in delicacy and elegance. While we enjoyed light snacks, good music and sweet ice-cream, we were stunned by Dina’s contagious passion towards her creations. Her inspiration for this latest collection was her very own wedding six months ago. She envisioned what she would have loved for people to be wearing on that special day and transformed it into a flowing collection of light blues, diluted pinks and purples, and warm limes. Her collections are already available in prestigious stores around the globe, but we can’t but feel proud that no matter where our talented people go,they always manage to come back home.

Midiskirting

Longer than right-below-the-knee, shorter than a maxi skirt. So wrong it’s right! The midi skirt has gained some serious reputation and even though it comes in multiple textures and prints we decided to try it out in a simple classic hue. Add a color pop bag and shoes for an instant spring update!

Top: Mango

Skirt: Zara

Pumps: André

Bag: Elie Saab

Necklace: Marella

Sliding into Spring

Fashion is turning into comfort and we couldn’t be happier! The ultimate go-to casual shoes this season are slip-ons. They come in an array of colors and prints making them suitable for shorts, skinny jeans and dresses…almost anything! Such beauties make us wonder who really needs laces.
