Confidence with a C

We live in a world of excess. The more the merrier. The more the prettier. Yet confidence, as important as we all know it is, always falls short on our priorities and barely makes it to the list of must-haves, resolutions or even wish lists.

And then you hope to come across the possibility of having something transformed into exactly what you want, so that you are not only buying the next best dress but also confidence, the kind of confidence you get by knowing that something was just perfectly made about you and for you. Atelier C by Cherine Khadra is that kind of place where clothes are customized to your like while taking into consideration your silhouette, your preferences but most importantly your personality. Last week, we had the chance to meet Cherine and discover how she manages to combine fine textiles, tailored cuts and classic designs to create unique pieces as timeless as confidence should be.

   

An artsy diet pepsi with Atelier C special design was also presented for the first time at the event.

No Resolutions

Tomorrow is the last day of this year. We’ve had our share of beautiful moments and some others that did not make it to our page of love, where we only talk about what heightens our spirits. For everything, we are thankful. We will not make resolutions. We have discovered that the best things we have accomplished, we didn’t even know we were accomplishing. We won’t set goals and judge our selves upon completion. The world is already busy doing that on our behalf. We will only hope that like this outfit, we get to experience a year of harmony between the good and the not so good that is prone to happen. The dark instants and the pink moments, we will embrace it all and make it look like it perfectly works. Happy New Year!

Failing to Fall

Just when we think fall has taken control, the sun starts shining so bright that wearing your favorite shade of yellow is not only allowed but also encouraged. Warm-mornings and cool-nights definitely call for a coat at hand and a dash of color that will never fail to wow.

Sweet Grunge

Even before sneakers were having a fashion moment, we were avid lovers of the trend and would wear them all week and weekend long. Now that it has become a statement we couldn’t be happier!! No need to drop your skater skirt or look like you are heading to the gym, just pair them together and enjoy a sports -luxe look!

Let’s Bow

A bow tie is to fashion what salt is to cooking, the ingredient that can make all the difference! It is by far the most versatile accessory you can have in your closet and no matter what shape or color you decide to wear, it will always pop up as the central piece of your outfit. We particularly love how the black leather skirt and denim shirt are tastefully harmonized by the magic of this black bow!

One reason to Fall

Layering is one of the few reasons we have to happily welcome Fall. And since it seems hard to let go of summer shorts and their careless flair, we can gradually settle into the new season by adding a blazer jacket. Think Autumn hues for a striking contrast!

Life is a Joke

We are over a month away from November and we are already paying tribute to the moustache that appears during that month to raise awareness of men’s health issues. And what better way than by choosing our latest crush: ELEVENPARIS. This French brand is known for its photo printed t-shirts which have gain huge popularity due to their comedic value and the famous faces used. With its slogan “Life is a joke” you are bound to find humor in their hipster designs, minimalist spirit, and music references. Need another reason to smile? It is opening soon in Beirut!

Yellow Fellow

In a perfect world, we all would have a closet full of the latest trends in all plausible colors the fashion scene would allow. But then again, reality has its perks and looking for ways to style a single piece is sometimes half the fun! You might tend to shy away from bright colors because it might feel that they can only be worn once before it becomes too boring. Just have a look at these styles and see how easily yellow can become your fashion fellow!

Blast from the Past

Nostalgia kicks in and you can’t help but smile every time Mickey is printed on just about anything. This popular 90’s trend is not the only one that is making a huge come back but high-waist jeans and mid riff tops are a definite blast from the past. And it is all just Awesome.
