About Me

Mariam Makatsaria

I was born in Tbilisi, Georgia, a pint-sized country in the heart of the Caucasus with an endearing food-and-wine-obsessed culture. I grew up in Cairo, Egypt where I learned the language and accepted Middle Eastern traditions as my own. Now, I’m in the United States—or more specifically, in sunny California—writing and editing my days away. As a journalist, I’m someone who’s constantly listening and asking questions.

Walking in circular heels is neither easy nor graceful, folks! There's a lot of stumbling around, as pictured here. But, you know, you learn.

Inspired by Evangelie Smyrniotaki.

My favorite part of any shoot is styling the clothes and scouting locations. (Because as you know, I love, love, love discovering and exploring pretty places). The modeling part? Meh. To be honest, I still feel a little awkward in front of the lens of a professional photographer. It takes confidence, y'all, and I can't say I'm a particularly confident person. But as with any other skill, confidence is something you learn. Sometimes you gotta push yourself out of your comfort zone. It helps if you work with a photographer who makes you feel totally at ease with her fun-loving attitude and a killer playlist. 📸: @dani.noire #fashionphotography #stylefile #yepthatsmyface #qartveli

Another SoCal gem, The Getty Villa, designed after the Villa of the Papyri, an ancient Roman villa in Herculaneum. I go there often, mainly for escapism purposes.

A dream, a fairytale. #exploresocal #hearstcastle #hearst

It'll cost you $1,250, but you can totally swim in one of Hearst Castle's historic pools. Pool party, anyone? No? Yeah, didn't think so 😔 #exploresocal #hearstcastle #hearst
