When skirts go long...

So easy to wear, the long skirt is great for spring, summer and fall. Boho, romantic and so fluid, just go long!

                   

   

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is the most original store in Beirut. The name itself is very unusual yet so memorable, thanks to Mary Poppins and our childhood memories. Supercali (let's stick to this abbreviation) opened more than 2 years ago in beautiful Saifi Village area and has now expanded buy introducing a CANDY corner in ABC mall, with plenty of extravagant goodies and sweets, huge lollipops, funny bubble gums and other magical surprises. 

Here's a glimpse of my candy basket

Summertime's almost over

Not quite ready to say goodbye to summer just yet... Winter definitely has its perks : delicious

fondue and raclette dinners, chimney fires, hot chocolate & marshmallow bonanza, snowy getaways, fuzzy socks, and of course, Christmas. 

But how to fight my bad-weather blues? Extra weight blues? (Too)white skin blues?
As tanning lines start to slowly (but surely) fade away, and some strange feeling of melancholy makes its way in, I try and look for ways to force-"yaaay!" myself into Winter Mode. 

After a bit of research (and a nice cup of tea I tend to snub during summer), here are a few discoveries which should help us get through the end of summer!

    A clear umbrella for a lighter day.

Winterwear: striking sweaters & cosy knits, warm and edgy jackets, funky accessories
and the list goes on.......

 

   

Nothing better than gearing up safe and cosy in harsh weather

Dolce & Gabbana ad campaigns

Dolce & Gabbana's ad campaigns have always been among the greats, but these past two seasons have GOT to be the best. They're simple and "very Dolce'". Monica Bellucci joins top model Bianca Balti and Bianca Brandolini for a 'mise en scene' and homage to Italian heritage. The traditional italian family, and especially the sensual Italian woman, represents the brand perfectly and adds the ultimate 'oomph!' to the image. I could watch these again and again. Thank you Giampaolo Sgura!
