Beirutful Memoir

Here are some things I stumbled upon during my last couple of visits to Beirut and thought were worth sharing. 

Let me start with Leila Restaurant

Laziz Cafe

Cafe Hamra

Stencil

And finally, this poster was placed among many others in Hamra st. but this got me wondering what it meant.. Apparently, it highlights the fact "how girls no longer carry meaningful names as their grandmothers did. Most of the names nowadays are Lara, Yara, Lana...etc." - said my Lebanese friend. 

 

Downtown with Noor

Last time I visited Beirut was about a month and a half ago.
I didn't stay for long and had only 2 more nights in Beirut.
So I took my friend for a one day photo shoot going around Solidiare and taking pictures.
I wanted to have different shots of her -as if they weren't taken in the same day- and
I believe I've managed to do so, hamdellah.
*For some reason the top left reminds me of Wardah aljza2riyah. 
Perhaps its the whole style..
