I’m sure many of you have lately noticed the trend of those colorful bags. The Mochila bags by My Isabelli are handwoven by the Wayuus who are a group of indigenous people inhabiting the Guajira Peninsula in Colombia. Each bag is unique. Weaving those bags is a means of living for this tribe so when you buy this bag you are truly supporting craftsmanship :) On this day in Beirut I was heading to the graveyard to visit my grandma who had passed away recently and I had to wear something long and also not black as she always disliked black on me :) So I wore this long white dress by H&M and my straw hat to avoid Beirut’s strong sun especially that I would be standing in the sun for some time.

A day shopping with my cousin in Beirut. These handmade shoes with a heart on one side are truly special and i got stopped by random people a few times who wanted to inquire about them. The Vintage style top is branded “Vintage style by Indy” from Kuala Lumpur.

I’m a big Moschino fan and I couldn’t resist their new little Chinese worker prints :) For the first day of Milan Fashion-week I wore this stunning Moschino dress and paired it with my black Valentino stud shoes. I decided to wear no other than my rose sac du jour bag by YSL. They come in all shades of pink this season so if you’re a pink fan be sure to get yours now! :) It was quite an eye-catching outfit. I attended 2 openings, a cocktail and one show with this outfit from which you can see some pictures here as well.

Yesterdays what I wore. France punished me with crap weather for two days for moaning about the heat.
(It's nice again today though, thank you France, I'M SORRY)
My first subject during the live styling workshop I gave during Beirut Designers Week was about color blocking.
What is Color blocking? It is taking super saturated hues and adding them together creating one sharp eye-catching look. The outfit revolves around a palette of two or more colors which are usually in bold and bright shades. Prints and patterns are usually not used in color-blocking as they take away the blocked visual but some designers such as Clover Canyon mix blocking with patterns and prints as you can see here on the dress I'm wearing.
Color blocking is not merely a summer trend it can be easily achieved in winter as well.
Many high end designers have used color blocking in their collections over the past few years such as Gucci for example in 2011.
Obviously there's still some basic rules here. First it's good to understand the color wheel (see pictures) and how colors match or don't match. Let's think of the primary colors blue red and yellow.
From there you can choose your color block outfit with which you can go three ways:
1. Complimentary as in choosing colors from opposite sides.
2. Monochromatic as in choosing the same color in different shades.
3. Analogous which is choosing color shades that neighbor each other on the wheel.
Possibilities are still endless when it comes to fashion! ;)
Remember brights will attract and darks will conceal. So if you don't want the attention on your hips wear a bright and vibrant jacket along with vibrant shoes and no one will notice your hips.
