Roberto Cavalli is one of my most favorite designers.. and since this season i am so into Eastren /Asian / Babouska / designs.. I fell in love with this dress which i wore for my engagement party .. the purple dress is another steal i got from the RC boutique in Rome while i visited in October 2006..its very versatile for every occasion.

to Cruise or Not to Cruise.. ?

2006-12-20T14:05:00.000+03:00

Planning our honeymoon is the best part of getting married..(kidding Mr.M) .. No .. seriously,,we get to be so creative and out worldly when we think about where to go.. we have the world mapped out for us to pick a spot .. or shall they be spots? Mr. M loves cruises.. so he sugessted we go on a cruise on multiple stops either in the Mediterranean- and it shouldn't be a long one just in case we get bored from the sea.. I am still not sure about that idea.. it might take us a while to settle on what sort of a honeymoon spot we might head to.. check out these cruise lines.. fancy!

Design School...Here I Come.. Again !

2006-12-16T21:22:00.000+03:00

After my graduation from architecture school , I wasn't sure how to step into the design world. first of all , I got a job , boring as hell put pays well , in a field thats not a bit related to my field of study. I call it my "Good Ol''Day Job", i thought i'll be in it for a year or so then flyyyyyyyy on my way to creativity , and freelance business in art and design, and working with happy clients, and freedom , and money , and and... Wake-up Call.. , Its Not that Easy!
I got stock with my day job ( and since it pays well , cant complain) , and said goodbye to my skills. Now after 3 years of Non-Creative labor-Midas Touch outcomes-Boring like a WWF game on a school night , I woke up to my own instincts. I wanna go back to design school in order to get in touch with my creativity that has been sleeping in for a while.
well , to cut it short, I am actually thinking of taking a course at DesignSessions . Now the hard part is deciding whether to enroll in Intro to Graphic Design ? or Fundamentals Logo Design? how about Figure Drawing ? Awesome!! check it out and help me decide.

where does time go? why does it fly?!
God , i still have pieces of furniture sitting in my studio waiting for paint , glass tops, ideas.. ! they have been sitting here for few weeks now..
I admit, I slacked alot .
you know whats the mistake that a furniture designer might make and not have planned for at the beginning of their project? S T O R A G E!!!

Oh I Wish..

2006-05-22T21:01:00.000+03:00

i made this collage based on the art of my favorite artist Jonathan Talbot ..
I used a bad and old arabian book pages and poped some of them up on the page.. then i added high gloss colored pieces cutting through them.. then added some metalic craft pearls ..
this is a creation for my hope to break ( the red high gloss pieces like knifes) all the bad old rules and traditions ( the old book) that strangle us and limit our creativity ( the metalic pearls.since creativity is reflective).

hope it makes sense :)

this designer blows my mind
