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.
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.

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?
Let’s face it: we are no big fans of winter. Tropical hearts till we die. But still, one must adapt. And that’s where we opt for embellished sweaters with colorful skirts that sparkle up the looks and the mood!

Think about winter and you already feel cold and want to wrap yourself in a warm coat or jacket. But ours is nowhere to be seen! In the meantime, some mild layering is ideal for cool afternoons when we need to run and feed our coffee addiction while we wait for the real winter to begin!

A card up my sleeve, literally! And not just any card but a Queen of Hearts. When creativity meets fashion and classicism gets a hint of futurism, you are bound to get great creations like the ones of Urania Gazelli. Urania Gazelli is the creative name chosen by the Greek designer Urania Giourmetaki for her bags label. She swears by plexiglass, the main material behind all her creations. The handcrafted clutch bags are made using fine materials that give it a playful and modern look but still manage to radiate luxury and elegance. The brand was founded in Spring 2010 and “Urania Gazellis AW 2012” was her debut collection but it has already captured the attention of many fashion celebrities (below is pic of Anna De Lo Russo Customized clutch). With a clutch like this, you are bound to have a winning outfit! Want to start playing cards? Check Urania Gazellis’s Facebook, Website, or instagram account @URANIAGAZELLI
Finally! Byblos International Festival started on Sunday. Every year I wait for the list of performers to be disclosed and I was more than thrilled when they announced that worldwide superstar Yanni was opening this year’s edition.
My night started off early by walking on the stone pavements while taking pics. Arriving early always makes parking and getting to our seats more relaxing and enjoyable. There is something about Jbeil. If you have been there, you know it. And if you haven’t, I highly recommend you do. It is the oldest inhabited city in the world. Jbeil’s beautiful old souks, little cafes and pubs combined with the warm light during sunset make it seem like a magical city.
And magic did happen once the concert started. Here is where I am speechless and anything I say will fall short on what I experienced last Sunday. It is safe to say that I never really knew what Yanni was about until now. Live performances are definitely irreplaceable experiences! It was all extremely high on emotional content. Yanni managed to completely transport the audience to somewhere else.
Besides delivering an exceptional performance, Yanni praised our food and country as most of artists do when they come and visit Lebanon. A line he said did strike my mind and heart: “You live in a piece of heaven”… I will leave you with some of the pics and the hope that this piece of heaven can withstand any test and find strength from amazing music and vibrant events like this.
