How beautiful is this color palette from Georges Chakra couture Spring/Summer collection 2010. Gorjeous. I love the deep blues, the yellows, and the reds..strong but delicate.

I finally broke down and bought a new abaya. Here’s a detail of the sleeves.

I came across these photos today…simply amazing. They’re from Givenchy: Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture A/W 2009/10 at Parc Georges Brassens. Really powerful contrast.

While walking through a quiet neighborhood in Gemmayzeh, Beirut last year, I came across the most beautiful Graffiti I had seen. Arabic Typography!! How fresh is that? Took a couple of pics.

Well, browsing through the web today, I came across a shop selling Sarah’s Bag clutches and guess what? There it was…the grafitti that had sparked something special in me. Glad she noticed it too.
