ROOM ONE at The Beirut Souks!

My friend was looking for specific t-shirts the other day. Therefore, I dedicate this post to her!!

I found these at ROOM ONE, located facing Zara Home at The Beirut Souks. And I thought they're worth a shot. I personally like the material, soft and not super tight... easy to wear and you're good to go!!

ROOM ONE

I like this store because the buyer has a consistent style -a very Italian one- The collections are simple and feminine.

Check out the belts starting 100$..

And you could also add some Attitude:

Mukhi Sisters

*If you're looking for that effortless chic look, then make 
sure you drop by ROOM ONE

Breakdance at The Beirut Souks!!

We were at the shop when baaaam.. A bunch of youngsters took over the gold souks place and started breakdancing next to Gloriette (check first post) it was a fun moment for all.
I grabbed the cam, as fast as i could and took pictures.

A random day at the Souks

We were on our way to a meeting yesterday, when we noticed students sketching the structures of the souks.

Finally! To each his own way of adding liveliness to the Beirut Souks!! <3

Ohhh!! Wonder when we will witness a live street performance- Mr. Accordion Man where have you gone?!?

Tea Break!

We're having the best Green Tea ever!!!! Where? At Bali by Balima at the Beirut Souks.
It's called Sencha tea.

Bali is right before Al Ajami Square. To be more precise, it's right in front of the famous Antabli Fountain.

The place serves 'jellab' and lemonade- it's Bali's way of paying tribute to the very popular 'Antabli'.
You can also have breakfast and lunch here! ahhhh can't wait to try their salads.

Up to 92 different flavours of smoothies!!

How to get there..

Just ordered Nutella waffles!!Hello extra calories!!!!ayiiii

Gloriette not just any banquette!

This first post is dedicated to Gloriette. Because we can now answer the question " Who is the artist behind that unusual and captivating bench?" 


Gloriette is a recreation of "the famous Spaghetti Bench by Pablo Reinoso" using metal. And today almost every tourist or Beirut Souks visitor has taken a picture of Gloriette.


Gloriette is becoming a hang out place, a place where couples meet and children play (when the security guards aren't looking:P). 


She is one of the jewels of the Gold Souks.
