The Iconic Tom Ford

No Comments

Hey Loves,

So, one trend that seems to be popping up for Spring 2022 is the use of color! It’s everywhere! It isn’t the typical light pinks and pastel colors although those are also going to stay big for spring. No honeyyyy, we are talking about a full blown color explosion! Everything is pushed to its fullest and honestly I love it!

When you think about making a statement, Tom Ford has always been in the forefront. His iconic looks season after season set the trends on what it means to be a person with style and it’s no wonder that all the A-listers have his name on their lips! His Spring RTW 2022 collection made it clear as to why he is the legend that he is. His magnetism is unparalleled and the clothes draw you in. This season Tom Ford showed us that the “new normal” is going to have sequins, color and a look that says, “You can’t keep your eyes off of me!” Although, the items have a classic look, the colors and textures leave a lasting impact. Metallics, sequins, a flurry of vibrant pinks, orange, greens, blues, purples and golds make this collection unforgettable.

It’s a new age where the fashion rules are being redefined and people want to see a range of options. That is why you might see a ball gown with sneakers or athleisure in sequins. Everyone is trying to find out where they belong and after the year we all had, risks in fashion are fun. Take this time to find where you fit on that spectrum and don’t feel like you have to be boxed into just one type of style just because it’s what you have been used to. I know so many pieces that I saw in this collection are difficult for me to wear because of my modest approach to dressing, but looking beyond that I feel the vibe and the way that the fabric moves and the different textures and that feeling is the inspiration I use when experimenting with my own style!

I have linked so many pieces that I found to be fun and some of my own personal favorites! Let me know what were some pieces that stood out to you and how are you going to implement color this upcoming Spring!

Lots of Love,

Proenza Paints The Walls Of NYFW With Pops Of Color

No Comments

Hey Loves,

The weather in NYC is brightening up and so is the fashion! A brand that I am obsessed with is giving us so much color that it can brighten up any rainy day. That brand is Proenza Schouler. I remember seeing the PS 1 bag on every celeb and influencer a couple of years ago and I was on the quest to find one for myself. I’ve always loved messenger style bags so it was no surprise that I was going to love that bag! I finally scored one in a navy blue colorway and it is still one of my favorite bags.

Although I have always gravitated towards their accessories and bags, I have never felt brave enough to wear their clothes. My style has always been more on the feminine side with a bit of classic elements and their clothes have always had an edgier twist. In their collection for Spring 2022, they have switched things up and embraced a beautiful colorful palette with an array of different styles whilst staying close to their brand DNA. Trust and believe they still kept their street cred with their edgier pieces but it is done in a way where it feels very natural and it is no wonder why all the cool girls are always front row at their show.

Seeing the bold patterns on the coats and the way they paired an oversized trench or coat with a slip dress or a billowy bright dress with chunky sandals makes it so wearable and on trend for Spring. Lately that push for super oversized and exaggerated cuts have been popping up everywhere on and off the fashion scene and the grandpa sandal doesn’t seem to be going anywhere for a while. This show definitely didn’t disappoint and if you’re interested, I linked images from this collection and included some of my favorites. Leave your comments below on what your reaction is towards this collection and what some of your favorites are!

Lots of Love,

The World Around Us

No Comments

Hey Loves,

I know I haven’t been as active on my blog, but that’s only because I want it to be perfect for you guys and it is a lot quicker to post on social media. Also, lately there seems to be so much sadness and chaos in the world and that has made it harder to come on here and talk about the exciting things going on in my life. It also feels somewhat trivial to talk about what the new item in my closet is or what I am liking at the moment when people are suffering. I am torn and although, humanitarian issues are very important to me and they will always be a part of my blog, I also want my blog to be a little bit of an escape. I know people look at my blog from all over the world and so if you truly want to see where I stand on issues that are affecting us today, you can check out my Instagram stories, but for the meantime my blog might be discussing more lifestyle content than politics. Please feel free to let me know what you guys think. Do you want lifestyle content and that escape or would you want a mix of current events and lifestyle? Sending you all virtual hugs. Thank you for your continued support and I can’t wait to continue sharing.

Lots of Love,

Sahar

Marianna Hewitt x DL1961

No Comments

Okay so I don’t know why I never tried the DL1961 collab with Marianna Hewitt. I have so many pairs of denim from DL1961 and they’re one of my favorite brands as far as jeans go and for anyone who doesn’t know, Marianna is a lifestyle blogger/ businesswoman and one of the founders of Summer Friday’s. She did a collab with DL1961 but I’m honestly not going to lie, I thought maybe it wasn’t going to be worth the hype, but trust me when I say I recently tried the Farrow Instasculpt and I’m in love. That’s saying a lot right now in my postpartum state. A lot of my jeans are fitting me differently and these jeans fit so well! Super comfortable dark wash which is always my comfort zone and I ended being able to get them on sale which was an added bonus! She has many other items in the collab, but these pairs of jeans were the first thing I ordered so I had to share with you guys! Let me know what are some of your favorite brands to shop for when you buy jeans.

Lots of Love,

Equipment Sale

No Comments

Hey loves,

So my affinity for the brand Equipment started when I first saw this leopard maxi dress on Net-a-Porter. It was so beautiful with the way it hung on the body and just looked so effortless and easy to wear. I love pieces that I can wear in different settings occasions and trust me the cost per wear on this item is definitely something that makes it worth it! The love affair began with the brand when I first wore that dress and since then I’ve acquired a nice little collection. They’re such an essential part of my wardrobe and I love the versatility of the pieces. Classic but with fun prints, you’re never bored. Also, you can wear them over and over again and they still look the same as when you first got it. The quality is amazing and I recommend this brand 100%. I’ve recently seen that there is a sale on their website so I wanted to show you some of the pieces that I have been purchasing and some that are on the wishlist. What is your favorite Equipment piece?

Lots of Love

A lot has Changed

1 Comment

Hey Loves,

The last time I posted, I was talking about my new years resolutions and preparing for a baby. Well, the baby is here and currently 3 months old! If you are one of those people where having a baby doesn’t disrupt your life at all, I commend you because any ideas I had of having some type of schedule and being more productive have gone out the window. I am a first time mom and although the changes in my schedule are so welcome because I have never experienced a love like this, it was literally survival of the fittest in our household in the beginning. As soon as Baby Yaqoub would fall asleep, there was a mad dash to get either sleep or food. I know I’m being a little dramatic but it really did feel like that at times. We were just trying to keep up and then on top of all that I had some complications after pregnancy so I was dealing with that as well. Then when we finally thought we were getting the hang of it, Coronavirus landed in NYC and we went into self isolating. All in all, it’s really strange to be a first time mom in this situation, but now I feel that I am slowly finding my rhythm and we (the baby and I) are slowly understanding each other. Lately, I have been trying to create some type of schedule especially with quarantine happening and not being able to do much, some of the days started to blend together. I have been using some new apps to hold myself accountable and also learning some new things on a couple of online courses Coursera. I am also back on trying to find my rhythm with blogging so be on the lookout for a lot more content coming your way. I feel so grateful to be able to even have an opportunity to be doing these things where I know so many people are really struggling. How have you guys been spending your time during this crazy time?

Lots of Love,

Sahar

A Year in Review

No Comments

I can’t believe its been over a year since I last posted on my blog so a recap is definitely in order. This past year has been amazing and full of monumental moments. For starters, I started last year with family and hosted a big pre-New Years Eve party. It was my first time hosting people in a formal capacity at my home and it was a lot of fun! In February, I celebrated my first wedding anniversary and spent time with my husband. We went upstate and had an amazing dinner and spent the whole weekend with each other. It was so nice to get away and have a moment just us two. March was another big moment for me because I turned 30 years old. I’m not someone who really feels strange getting older so it wasn’t a feeling of dread but it definitely felt different and I was happy to be embarking on this new era in my life. My 20’s were interesting to say the least, full of loss and confusion and figuring out who I was and not really being focused or driven and a little lost. Towards the end of my 20’s is when I started to get more serious and started to become more confident in who I was and what I wanted and I feel that now in my 30’s, I am becoming more and more comfortable with who I am. Of course, I understand new experiences and challenges shape you and there’s always room for growth, but I think for the first time in my life, I am starting to love the person I am becoming as sappy as that sounds. Also in March, I went to visit Turkey for the first time which was definitely on my bucket list. I have always wanted to go and it was such an amazing experience and a place that I can’t wait to visit again! We stayed in Istanbul and Antalya and because of a delay in our planes, we also ended up staying in Germany as well. So, it was kind of like having two trips in one! In June, my husband and I found out that I was pregnant!! It is such a big decision that although we were ecstatic, I think I was still in denial. I was so anxious because we found out pretty early so I didn’t want to get too excited because I was nervous just in case something happened. I know that’s really silly but pregnancy is such a sore subject for so many women and I was really nervous especially because I had a pretty rough pregnancy in the first couple of months. I did start to get more and more excited when we started telling people and found out the gender and with each sonogram, seeing him grow! It’s such a beautiful thing to experience as crazy and round as I look..Lol. In September, I ended up going on an overnight trip to Philly with my sisters. It was just the four of us and it was nice to get away and spend time. We are super close, but we had been so busy in our own lives that it was nice to spend that quality time with each other. The rest of the year, we spent time with family and getting everything ready for the baby. I can do another post on the baby essentials that we received and purchased if you would like. That was my year and although I didn’t have too many wins in the career side of my life, my personal life definitely saw a lot of changes. What are some things you guys experienced in the last year? Feel free to comment below!!

Lots of Love,

Sahar
