Head Wraps + Hijabs

Published by

When E-Shakti asked me to review another item of clothing, I selected this top. While I am not a huge fan of red, I couldn’t help but fall in love with that criss-cross neckline, the length, and cut of this piece. The sleeves with a thumb hole detail are also a plus in this cold weather. I wanted to pair the bold red with my headscarf that has a similar color in it, but to keep it from looking too matchy-matchy, I broke it up with a baby pink bomber. During my internship in NYC I met fellow intern, Maria Alia. I found out she is a fashion blogger as well, and we agreed to get together and take photos of one another. Here’s us together. What you don’t see if the camera awkwardly placed on a USPS Postal Mail Box. What I love most about this look are these glasses from Aspire Eyewear. They pull everything together and give me a quirky edge that I try to aim for in most of my outfits. …

I Love a Good Print

Published by

I found this shirt at a thrift store a while ago. It has become a wild card in my wardrobe. You know: those pieces that you put on every now and then when you want to make a statement and shake things up. In the past I’ve worn it in a way that you could only see a peek of the print, but this time I wanted to wear it full force– in all its glory! As you already know from the last outfit post I wrote, I am always in my adidas track pants. So this shouldn’t be a surprise. The shirt is so loose and comfortable, that I wanted to keep the whole look that way. I am a sucker for a good contradiction though… so I couldn’t let myself get too comfy. My choice to wear this wide brim hat versus a baseball cap, keeps the look stylish. I think my makeup and jewelry do the same thing. It keeps me from looking like I am just wearing Pajamas.

What to Buy The Special Men on Your Holiday List This Year

Published by

I am not sure if it is just me, but men are hard to shop for. Nothing says I love you like a boring tie, or a pair of socks. With this gift guide, I really tried to find items that are special. This year, gift him something he won’t want to return! Mantry For the Foodie Mantry is a food subscription service that curates 6 food products every two months from top American food artisans. Each box fits a particular theme, ie. Bourbon BBQ, and Mantry shows you how to cook and entertain with the new goods. King and Stone For the Shoe Gamer For only $25/month your guy can select a new pair of shoes every season. King and Stone has a good range of sneakers, oxfords, and casual slip ons. Perfect for any style. Smart Phone Sanitizer For the Clean Freak I think this is genius. There’s so much gunk on our screens from the oils on our skin that we can’t even see. According to a study, a cell phone has 18x …

3 Holiday Gift Suggestions That I Tested Myself

Hips-Sister | For the Workout Woman Created by a woman who wanted to design an alternative to the dreaded fanny pack, Hips-sister is a fashionable and functional belt that you can slip over your hips and store your phone, keys, money, earphones, etc. when you workout.  I think this is a genius idea. There’s been times where I didn’t have pockets to keep my phone or keys in, but I wanted to go for a run on the campus track. I didn’t feel comfortable leaving it on the bleachers where I wouldn’t be able to keep an eye on it, so I awkwardly held everything in my hand, or in my bra. Thankfully, Hips-sister is a much better alternative. I can be hands free when I run without having to worry about anything spilling out.  Hips-sister comes in three sizes, A, B, and C ranging from a size 2-24. They have plenty of fabric choices and colors so you can express yourself in your own unique way. Best of all, they’re very inexpensive, averaging at $25. …

I am an Adult Woman, And I Enjoy Wearing Tutus

Published by

When I first saw this Mystree tutu dress in the boutique I work at, I thought it was so cool. It took me a while to actually purchase it because I needed to convince myself I’d actually wear it. I tried it on, and all of a sudden the ideas started rolling. I can wear it with a sweater on top, or throw a cardigan over it. I can pair jeans with it, or my Adidas track pants, I can wear a long sleeve top underneath… I knew this would be a special weapon in my wardrobe. And I was right! I wear this thing more often than I’d like to admit. When I feel like my outfit needs that extra something, I add in the tutu and it gives me that edge I wanted. I really want to do a full lookbook showing how I wear this thing. For now, enjoy these lovely photos taken by Yanping Nora Soong. If you love dressing in a unique way, and like adding a little quirk to …

I Bought The Perfect 21st Birthday Dress For $12.99!

Published by

On October 3rd, I turned 21. Leading up to the big day, my first thoughts were not “what will my first legal drink be,” but instead “what will I wear??” Let me just preface this post by saying, I am not a party girl. I’ve never had a fake ID,  and while I’ve had a few drinks here and there before my 21st (sshh), it was never something I partook in regularly. With that being said, I don’t really own any club dresses, or sexy party outfits. I see a lot of girls at my college who wear these skin tight bodycon dresses, and while it looks great on them, it’s just not for me! I don’t want everyone to see each and every curve, and all the bones in my body. But alas, this was my big birthday. I felt obligated to find a dress that was a little out of my comfort zone– something sexy, but still me. I checked the typical stores that I thought would have what I was looking for: …
