My Shopping Finds

The other day I saw this Etro scarf for men and I was fascinated with the print and material. Perfect for adding color in the winter but its not too bright as well.

Inspirations

Below are a few images that I have taken with my IPhone of things that I have seen around Washington D.C. These images inspire me in one way or another. A wall made out of tires at a restaurant, a quote in a Jonathan Adler store, the “Beware of artists” sign at American University, The graphic picture of a man and woman is located on Serendipity 3’s menu, Dope is located on Qst, and F.A.M.I.L.Y is located in CB2.

West Virginia

Saturday was a very spontaneous day. We went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast and our initial plan was to go The  Shenandoah National Park in Virginia for  hike. But after getting up at 9 am and going to Cracker Barrel we realized that the park closes on Saturdays. So after a lot of research we decided to drive to West Virginia and go white water rafting. The raft that I was in managed to flip and we were saved by another raft. It was definitely an amazing summer day! Here are some pictures from our trip:

I was wearing a customized FC Barcelona jersey, grey shorts from H&M, and orange running shoes from Nike.

Daily Obsessions

The other day I came across these Christian Dior metal Cannage platform pumps and I am obsessed with them. What I love about them is that they scream out Dior but in an elegant way like the Louboutin red sole. What’s beautiful about them is that they are timeless and elegant.

Miami

Two weekends ago I went with a group of friends to Miami in order to celebrate a birthday and graduation. During the visit I got to see an old friend of mine from Jordan that attended university there. It was great to catch up! One of the days we went to a restaurant called The Rusty Pelican and we took a picture that I really like. That day I was wearing a t-shirt in blue from Zara, wearing printed shorts from H&M, red penny loafers from Barney’s, and Persol sunglasses.

My Shopping Finds

The other day I went into a Bally store and I found these hightop sneakers. I have been looking for a pair for quite some time now. Not only they were exactly what I wanted, but they were also on sale, so I had to snatch them! I got them in brown, but they also come in white.
