FNO,

 necklace, vintage - t-shirt, zara - jeans, acne

two firsts this year; 1. vogue started a dutch edition, 2. the dutch vogue team participated in fashion's night out!

i accidentally [sort of] attended FNO in london last year when i happened to go to liberty's one afternoon and manolo blanhik was there. afterwards all the events dawned on me and i realized it was FNO. anyway, i must admit vogue isn't really my favorite literature but i'm still always up for a party especially when its in the cosy streets of amsterdam!

and truthfully, i had too much fun at the fillipa k store [free campagne] that i lost the focus to take pictures of the night...

hollanda had some nice weather!! [with emphasis on had] i seized the beautiful day and went to the beach with my family to soak up the last rays of sun before the darkness of winter. 

the weather is back to fall mode now for which i dont even know how to dress anymore. this is bad because its THE first vogue's fashion night out in amsterdam tomorrow! 

aside from the fact that i dont know what to wear, im super stocked for the screening of diana vreeland's docu, meeting victor & rolf, testing chanel nail-polish, all the while sipping champagne.

above all im excited to hang out with jamie snoeck [awesome fashion photographer] whom i havent seen since may to discuss possible collaboration with THE ROOM!

-now back to figuring out what to wear-

so here i am prancing about in downtown beirut with my sister on my last day in the city. its interesting, because you either love or hate this part of town. certain people love it because it has every chique boutique in a one mile radius from celine to mccartney and others hate it because it seems fake and out of touch with reality.

whenever i walk around downtown i imagine what it used to be like before the war, full of hustle and bustle. it saddens me but it also gives me hope!

i guess i neither love nor hate it [boring opinion i know]. 

day to night,

outfit 1: romper,  one teaspoon - shoes, zara - hat, montecristi - bag, balenciaga

outfit 2: clutch, vintage - shoes, georgina goodman

i still remember the day that this romper was delivered to my house and i was trying them on infront of the mirror in the living room and my mom [who never curses] literarily said, WTF are you wearing?? 'it's called a romper mom' I replied in my annoyed teenage voice while i desperately tried to mute her out while she was yelling 'its see through', 'half your ass is showing' etc. 

anyway, three months later i wore it out to diner and she LOVEEED it.

one of my dear friends from london came to visit me in beirut a few days ago and we spent our days tanning and our nights out. he also has the best sense of style out of all the guys i know, i wish my boyfriend had his closet so i could steal everything!!

some snaps we took after we were having lunch at one of our favorite spots in saifi village, balima's. somehow we always end up laughing through our tears at that place while we're catching up on each others lives.

the next stop this summer was Ibiza! One week with a few friends!

i was so excited to experience the hippy side of Ibiza and although we did not make it to the famous markets we got a really bohemian feel. its just so FREE! and so gorgeous. and just so free...

one of the perks of traveling with one of my best friends, lisa, is that we both have TWO closets on holiday.

a few nights ago i was having some drinks with my friends and the subject of my blog came up. i was quite shocked of course because i didnt think anybody actually read it! [all bloggers probably say this but im SERIOUSLY SARIOUS]

anyway, someone mentioned to me that i dont really post pictures of myself + do outfit posts and they suggested that i should. i was quite hesitant because i prefer talking about other talent, people, places rather than myself. BUT, i think the pictures speak for themselves, my first true outfit post!

my home away from home

we finally finished [well almost] decorating the house!! it was quite a challenge to do it without buying any new furniture but it turned out just right. i sometimes have this feeling that i wish i was born in a different time period [preferably the 60s] and thats probably why i feel right at home here, just as i hope everyone else will when we host diners+parties!

almost forgot..
