Boston Guerrilla African Fashion Show by Geleyi

Really excited to share this collaboration I did with Geleyi! 

"Geleyi[gel-ay-ee] is a lifestyle brand offering African inspired modern designs that is born in Africa and made in USA.  Geleyi works closely with designers who emulate the beauty of African culture and craft stylish designs that fit to your modern lifestyle." from www.geleyi.com/

I followed them along and filmed during a guerrilla fashion show they did right in the heart of Boston. I have never done any filming prior to this, but when I was asked to help out I thought it would be a good time to experiment and try something new. You can view the final video below at the end of the post. Of course I couldn't help but take a few photos while there ;)

Boston Fashion Week: Bridal Couture by Firas Yousif

I was enchanted by the Firas Yousif Bridal Couture show during Boston Fashion Week. The beautiful cathedral made for a tranquil setting, the gorgeous gowns, the models all done up, along with the eclectic mix of music ranging from classical,to middle eastern, made for an amazing show. Being Lebanese it was sort of surreal to hear the familiar sounds from the Middle East in Boston! It was magical to watch and photograph. These were some of my favorites from the night! Check out more from Firas on his website Firas Yousif Originals and Facebook page.

I leaf you

Fall is winding down. There's a winter chill in the air. Anthony and I took a walk to get some coffee and cherish the little bits of fall that are left. While walking I noticed this beautiful almost tie die looking leaf. Such art! To think I almost walked right past it, but I decided to stop and take a few steps back and grab it. Anthony said something sweet to me while I was twirling it in my hands. He said that's why he loves me because I do things like pick up leaves of the floor. I thought well there are so many leaves out there but I chose him. A piece of art among the crowd. It's not always roses and sunshine but I'm glad I have my best friend to walk beside me and take this journey together.  Ok I promise no more sap stories! hehe I just had to tell this one. And you know what?!? I LEAF YOU TOO!!!
