Welcome to Beirut!

Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring Summer 2013

Welcome to Beirut!

For those of you visiting the Lady Beirut blog it's because you to are in support of Lebanese fashion and style, and let's face it you are proud of the fact that we do it well!

And for those of you who don't know much about Beirut, stay tuned ... it's a little piece of heaven, who's people not only live and breathe fashion but are true lovers of life!

Lebanon is argurably the newest breeding ground for fashion, producing masterminds like Elie Saab, Zuhair Murad, Rabih Kayrouz, Lara Khoury, Mireille Dagher, Papou Lahoud, Robert Abi Nader, Abed Mahfouz, Nemer Saade ... and I think you get my drift!

So a little bit about me ... I was born in Australia and I'm a journalist. I have a background in politics and international relations, however my passion and first love has always been fashion. I definitely get my thrill out of styling myself and people. I have recently relocated to Beirut to work and so I am still learning about this amazing city and all that it has to offer, so I look forward to sharing my experiences.

For weeks now I've been looking for the perfect picture to publish with my first post and there were a few favourites but nothing that really captured Lebanese style! Until I stumbled across Elie Saab's latest Haute Couture Spring Summer 2013 collection! This wedding dress is just divine! It depicts elegance, timelessness, class, profound detail and the sheer brilliance of Elie Saab's work.

So who better to launch the Lady Beirut blog than with the work of an icon.

I have chosen to launch this blog on Jan 26 because it's Australia Day and by doing so it allows me to celebrate both my Lebanese and Australian heritage.

This blog will also promote Australian designers and fashion, and you will soon learn that Aussies too know a thing or two about fashion.

So to my Aussies out there Happy Australia Day!!!

I'm happy to hear your thoughts about my blog, if there are certain things you'd like me to post like an outfit you look darling in or if you wanted me to preview any products just email me at ladybeirut.style@gmail.com.

To the Lebanese people around the world, this blog's for you so keep on flaunting that up-scale Lebanese style ... you're fabulous!

Thanks for checking out and supporting my blog in advance!
