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

Here We Go…

No Comments

Hey everyone, I am sure you guys are tired of hearing about resolutions but it’s that time of year where everyone starts talking about their resolutions and what they are looking to accomplish for the upcoming year. Every year I would makes these elaborate goals and very strict resolutions and then I would feel defeated 2 weeks in because I would get this burst of motivation in the beginning and then run out of steam as the weeks progress. It’s the same thing like when you see everyone in the gym in January and then by February only a few remain.

What I did differently this year was that I realized that it wasn’t so much the goals itself, but I needed to focus on the systems. The systems that I need to put in place that will put me in a position for success. Once I focused on that, it has made it easier to accomplish goals that I have set up for myself. I’ve been listening to this audiobook on Audible by Kevin Hart called The Decision and it’s so good!!! First of all he’s extremely entertaining to listen to and the information he shares is very easy and digestible. I’ve been listening to it for the past couple of days and I can’t even begin to tell you how much I have enjoyed it! It talks about decision making and the things that affect it and how you can overcome them!

Listening to it made me realize all the excuses I make to myself on a daily basis. Some of it is subconscious and others are bad habits and limitations that I am putting up. Once I realized that, I began to be more intentional with my decision making and not just have resolutions but actual changes that I can make every day. Even if it’s just one step towards the positive change and I just focus on that, then I’m going in the right direction. I am going to be writing some more posts elaborating on the changes that I am making that helps me so maybe in turn we can hold each other accountable. I know 2020 was a difficult year for most in one way or the other and many people are still dealing with those ramifications. I pray that everyone has a positive, healthy and fulfilling year and may we all make the changes that get us closer to living a life that we envision for ourselves!

Lots of Love,

Sahar

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,

A Fresh Start

No Comments

Hey everyone!! I’ve missed you guys! It has been so long since my last post so let me use this time to catch everyone up.

  1. I got married guys! My wedding was on February 17, 2018. It was so hectic leading up to it! I personally haven’t been to the that many weddings in my life and I am the first to get married in my own family, so I didn’t have any experience when it came to planning a wedding. Luckily, I had my friends and family along with my wonderful husband to help me get through it. If you guys are interested, I can definitely do a post on my experience and any tips and tricks that I learned along the way.
  2. So while I was planning this wedding, I was like planning a wedding isn’t enough I need to add another level of crazy to everything! So the hunt for an apartment began. If anyone has moved before or is in the process of moving then I am sure you can relate to what I have to say next. Did you guys ever think like, oh, I don’t really have that much stuff and then when you started packing you realize that it’s just boxes over boxes over boxes? I thought that I didn’t have that much stuff, but then the boxes kept filling up! Luckily, my parent’s place wasn’t too far from where our new place is so we got everything done fairly quickly. On the plus side, one of my favorite parts of moving into a new place is a fresh start and home decor, which is one of my passions! Pinterest has been such an amazing source of inspiration for me! Ps check out my Pinterest if you guys want any inspiration as well. I will definitely keep you guys posted on the apartment and any new pieces we add.
  3. Finally, on March 3rd, it was my birthday! I can’t believe it the big 29! A birthday is such an amazing time to reflect and 28 was such a year full of big changes between the wedding and work and a new home. I have been blessed and I am really grateful for all the experiences and people who have been a part of my life. I can’t wait to see what 29 will bring!

These were just some of the changes that happened in the last couple of months. I hope to be sharing more with you in the upcoming months. Thank you for your patience and understanding and I definitely have some more posts coming up for you! Let me know in the comments your thoughts and questions!

 

Lots of Love,

Sahar
