Zuhair Murad: Like a boss

Posted by Najib

Jennifer Lopez: I want your most expensive and unique dress for the American Music Awards. Don’t disappoint me Zuhair!
Zuhair Murad: Don’t worry Jenn! You will be the only one to wear this dress in 2011.

Hayfa Wehbe: Badde dress ma byefham lal NYE party Ok Zuz?
Zuhair Murad: Don’t worry Hayoufti! You’ll be the first to wear this dress in 2012.

A week after NYE 2011

Haifa Wehbe started 2012 in a grand ceremony in Biel downtown Beirut; the star looked sexier than ever in a Zuhair Murad dress similar to the one previously worn by Latin bombshell Jennifer Lopez. [Link]

Shopping for jewelry in Lebanon

Posted by Najib

I was tempted few days before Valentine to approach some of the jewelry shops in ABC dbayyeh and see what they got to offer. Aside from the incredibly unrealistic prices they had for the tiniest of items, what caught my attention and made me laugh were the discounts the sales people gave me.

One diamond bracelet caught my attention at the first place I checked so I asked the guy there how much it cost and he answered me: 9700$ is its original price (then he starting typing some random numbers on his old fashioned calculator) and told me price after discount is 4500$ and we can still negotiate the price if you are serious about buying it.

Another place I checked had a pendant for around 14,000$ which becomes for ONLY 8000$ after discount. Of course I got the “akeed messieur hayda mich ekhir se3er” response after the 7000$ drop in price.

And it was the same for almost all shops except one or two who gave only a 10-15% discount.

I ask here: Why would they price it this high and then discount that much? No one is that stupid to think they are doing him a great discount because they apparently do this for everyone, so why can’t they price it reasonably?

Nannini Eyewear

Posted by Nency

I saw the weirdest eyeglasses ever today, they were the SOS 101 by Nannini. I was having a business lunch when one of the businessmen suddenly pulled out these glasses to read the menu. I thought they looked pretty strange so I asked him about it and he told me he always carries a pair of these glasses wherever he goes and he has around 6 pairs.

These glasses are very flat and indestructible which makes them extremely portable and since they’re only around 10 Euros you can have multiple pairs, one for the car, one for the office, one at home etc. Check out their website [Here]



Sabah Forever

Posted by Rita

Sara’s bag just launched the Sabah Forever collection.

For those of you who are not familiar with Sara’s Bags you can read more about the brand and the designer, Sara Beydoun, here.

Unfortunately there is no option to order online but the bags are available in various countries in the region.  In Beirut they are located in Achrafieh.

Sara’s Bags are inspired by Middle Eastern culture while adhering to the latest trends.

I find some of their bags really funky and would love to get, whilst some are just nice to look at and smile (caused by the nostalgic feeling the bag creates).

Check it out and share your opinions :)
