bokja, lebanon:

So this post is little bit different to the others we have been sharing with you. I want to show you our visit to the amazing Bokja store in Beirut.
Some of you may recall that I did a really short and sweet post (it was when I first started the blog, so I was a bit shy!) on Bokja, the design duo from Beirut who, working alongside artisans, re-upolster furniture in vintage Middle Eastern and Central Asian textiles. For me this is a match made in heaven! Mixing beautiful, vibrant textiles and furniture to create a completely unique piece for an interior. So when I found out their store was in Beirut it was even more of a MUST that we go there.
Lucky for us we were staying nearby in Gemmayze with only a ten minute walk up to the lovely Saifi Village - home to some of the coolest shops we have seen on our trip so far.
I want to thank lovely Tracey for letting me take photos in the store and for been so kind and giving us some really awesome recommendations for our stay Beirut.
I'll be saving like crazy once we finish the trip so we can get one one of these beautiful pieces. They look even more stunning in real life. So if you are in Beirut, please do stop by and have look - otherwise make sure you go their website and have a swoon.

Also this was my very first time shooting a store, and I must say it was a little bit challenging! I'm not spatially minded at all - so I hope the photos do it justice.

Enjoy the beautiful work of Bokja and I hope it brings some colour to your day.

  5. Annapurna Basecamp Trek - Fun and Interactive Tour”

    This is my post earthquake trek. All my doubts of the current situation in Nepal are cleared since after this trip. I went for trekking solo and back in a group.

    Thumbs up to Nepal Planet Treks!

    This is my 2nd trip with Nepal Planet and again Sanjib Adhikari was my guide to organize everything. I am impressed that the company never lower the standard of their service even in the midst of economy and petrol crisis. We traveled from Kathmandu to Pokhara by tourist bus. And Sanjib hired a taxi to take me from Pokhara to the trekking point Nayapul. In fact he can cut down the expenses of transportation by using local bus. Very kind of him to provide me a comfortable trip.

    This is a fruitful trip for me. Beside the beautiful mountains, we made some new friends. Sanjib is a pleasant guide with good personality. Other trekkers and guides like to mingle with him too.
    I remembered there was a guide actually took his client to look for us and stay in the same lodge in Bamboo. Next day one more group joined in and the guides already discussed where to stay in next stop. So we ended up as a group tour. We even had a party on the last day in the mountain.

    If you are hesitate of whether should go Nepal for trekking, I would definitely say "YES". Since there are not too many tourist, I really enjoyed the tranquility of the mountains and forests. The lodges are not over packed with trekkers. You can get better food and room service.

    There are many new hotels in Pokhara compared with two years ago. You have more choices of accommodation which suit your budget. I feel that the expenses is a little higher compared with last year but still bearable. There are lots of trekkers from China and Korea this time, seems it's a new trend for them to trek in Nepal. Hurry...go before the place become touristy! http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g293890-d8409628-Reviews-Nepal_Planet_Treks_Expeditions_Day_Tours-Kathmandu_Kathmandu_Valley_Bagmati_Zone_.html
