A white christmas

1/16/2014

Back in Morocco my family and I do not celebrate christmas. It's just not part of our moroccan traditions. But this year, since I happened to be staying in Paris for the christmas holidays, I did gather with some friends and two of my sisters around that oh-so-famous christmas tree.

We decided to add our little touch to the celebration and played "secret santa": each person had to buy a gift without knowing who it was going to go to. So you can only guess how hard it was to find something that could work for both boys and girls...

When it came to the food though, we respected the traditions and stuffed our stomachs (okay maybe we also added a moroccan dish or two to the menu).

As for my outfit, I really had no clue what I could wear since most of my fancy clothes I left in Morocco. I eventually came up with this little white combination which made me think of that famous song "White christmas".

I hope you like the pictures and I'll be back very soon with some news to share with you !

Our dear host also prepared a moroccan tajine...

...and other moroccan treats.

I think I got the most adorable gift of all !

Top, Promod

Pants, Zara

Shoes, little boutique in Casablanca

Necklace, Stradivarius

The sixties dress

Hi guys!
Here is another outfit from back when I was in Lille, France. I had a busy day so I opted for something simple and confortable: flats and a turquoise sixties-like dress. Once again, I added some food pictures to this post since you guys seem to like them!

On another note, I made a HUGE mistake two days ago which I think some of you have noticed (those of you who stay up very late at night. Or... who live on another timezone). If you guys remember what I told you in this post then you know that I'm currently working on a new design for the blog. Well, that night while I was working on that said design, I made a huge blunder and the blog turned into a total mess and was even inactive for a moment! I eventually managed to get everything back to normal whithin just a couple of hours and I hope I haven't forgotten anything.

Do you guys notice anything different or does it look alright to you?

A view of the Place du Théâtre in the Vieux Lille. Love the architecture around there.

At the restaurant: we were served this little mousse before our orders (if I remember well it contained beet).

And here is my salad. Salmon, shrimps and foie gras: all I need!

Loved the decoration at the restaurant (too bad I can't remember the name of the place). It was a mix of classic designs (for the chairs for example) and modern manufacture-inspired details (like the chandelier in the above picture).

Inspiration mix

6/01/2013

Just a quick update to show you a mix of pictures that I found inspiring.

My exams were so long that the last day felt like finally reaching the light at the end of a long dark tunnel. I thought that being done with the first part would make me all excited and most importantly free but I actually have just turned into a tired and lazy couch potato (not completely true actually: for about ten days I was like a battery with endless energy!) AND it just hit me that I still have the second part of my exams to prepare...

Until I reach the end of the tunnel, enjoy your weekend!

2012 recap

A look back

12/28/2012

What happened in 2012?

Apart from the fact that it was an awfully stressful school year, full of work, exams, deadlines, and overall anxiety, I tried to keep the content of this blog not so dull and fed you with some eye candy as best as I could...

Let's take a look back at what we've seen together throughout 2012:

1/ Along with me, you discovered the brand new Morocco Mall...
