Self Realization...

I have really been MIA lately. Gosh, it's almost been a month since I last posted. I didn't mean to be so neglectful, but I needed a break from everything so I could focus on myself for a while. I needed to find a way to inspire myself. I saw that I started to lack passion in everything that I was doing. I don't like to produce something that I haven't put my all into. So I stopped.

After a lot of self discovery and watching this video, I found it. Be prepared. InshaAllah (God willing), because I am coming back with a completely different out look on life.

Kids will forever inspire me to keep moving forward. Hopefully you gain something from this too.

Spring 2013 Trends...

I love looking at new trends for the up coming year because it gives me something to look forward to. As you can tell, I am simply in love with fashion. But some times I just chalk it up to my wanting to stare at something beautiful all the time and I believe that is what fashion gives us. With that being said, I am not a firm believer in trends, and even more so that I hardly follow them. But they are fun to look at.

Some of the major trends from last year have continued to inspire designers to create the following trends for the upcoming Spring and Summer. Peplum, leather, and bold hues were seen every where on the runways. I'm not sure if it's because they couldn't come up with anything new, or because that just love the same trends from last year. But let's take a look.

1. Peplum-

Honestly, I hate this trend. Maybe because it doesn't work for my body type. But I believe it's because it adds an unnecessary piece of fabric that is awkwardly placed. However, people believe that it is very feminine and creates a "hour-glass" figure.

2. Leather-
For this spring, it seems as though leather is still going strong. I love a great leather jacket, but you know, high fashion takes it up a notch.

3. Bight and bold hues- 
I am not one to wear who has the juevos to wear the entire rainbow all at once, but hey, some people like it. And if you can pull it off green, mauve, blue, orange, yellow, and teal, more power to you.
