Tofu and Chilli roll around Paris

Dear people who visit my blog from time to time,

Most sincere appologies for not posting anything in a while. I do have an excuse though: my computer (his name is Hbiba -which means darling in arabic), has stoped working and consequently stoped being a darling...
To be honest, there is no excuse for my lack of involvement in this project that I was extremely passionate about in the beginning.
So why -you might ask- am I suddenly re-emerging?
I have recently spent a week with my (best) friend Zara who has been living in London for the past 8 months...
I just realised that I should probably explain the story behind the name of this blog for my story to make sence.
Zara is half Asian, that's why I call her Tofu... and I'm not Mexican at all... but somehow, Tofu calls me Chilli.
At the beginning, this blog was supposed to be a common project and we were both supposed to write posts, but unexpected things happen in life and I ended up doing the blogging thing on my own (Zara on the other hand has an amazing food blog that you should all go see).
So to make a long story short, seeing Tofu made me nostalgic of that time where I'd go out with my camera, looking for style.
I cannot promise very frequent posts (because Hbiba is still in the ER) but I will try my best.
Please try to comment, so that I know that I'm not just talking to myself!

Polka Dots

Nice to see how a black on black outfit can still be fun with the right amount of polka dots. And I mean, if Bobby D can pull it off, so can everyone else right?

"She was a redhead, and fun"

That's what the late congressman Herb Klein said about Rose Mary Woods, Nixon's secretary. "Redhead, and fun", he said simply... as if the two words were inseperable, like being a redhead inevitably led to being fun. From bold orange to deep ruby red, redheads manage to grab people's attention within a five mile radius (depending on the shade). In fact, only one strand of this girl's hair was in my peripheral vision when I automatically turned to point my camera at her. However, what Klein perceives as fun, I see differently: this particular redhead was an odd mixture of fierceness, passion and serenity. The kind of girl that makes the men go crazy... and the women go to the colorist.
