Tatreez

 

Tatreez is traditional embroidery originating in Palestine where hours are spent hand sewing patterns in vibrant colours. I can't remember a day where we didn't have embroidered artwork at home, whether it was a cushion (more like 10) or wall hangings. 

Although it is an old tradition filled with history, it has really evolved and can easily be transitioned into current modern pieces. Even modern enough to partake in a bathroom selfie.

A Day at the Boulevard

If any of you follow me on instagram (if you don't.. what are you waiting for?!), you would know that I recently came back from vacation. Leaving the then snowy Halifax, to the Spring-like Jordan to the hotter than hot Dubai, it felt like I experienced all 4 seasons (and countless falafels and shawermas) in 2 weeks. While the temperature changes (and most likely shawermas) took a toll on the body, there is one thing I wouldn't let it affect - the outfit!

Here's a look at an afternoon stroll at the boulevard in Amman, Jordan.
