My New Obsessions...

I love men's fashion. I have an entire board on Pinterest dedicated to how my husband and son will dress, and everything I want to buy them. I see nothing wrong with dressing my husband, especially if he has to walk around with me. So as I've been pinning ans checking out blogs, I've noticed that I've recently become obsessed with a few things.

Velvet Blazers

I am in love with them. I would go with a classic black, but I love how the colored ones are done above. Not everyone can pull them off, which is probably why I like them. 

Cuff links

I love classic, vintage, and monogrammed cuff links. Anything that can throw a bit of your personality into your outfit, even if it's a standard black suit. 

 Loafers

The first thing I look at is a man's shoes. I'll take a nice pair of loafers over sneakers any day. The show maturity and individuality. Plus, they are so much sexier.

Baby Loafers

My son will be extremely fresh. I especially love the ones in the middle by TOM. They are so cute. Why wouldn't I want my son to be a mini me of my husband?

Socks

The colorful, the better. I love seeing colored socks peaking out between a man's trouser and shoe. They just show a burst of personality and quirkiness. It also shows how well he can coordinate. 

30 Day Challenge: Day 19...

Something that makes me go Awww is Tegan's gorgeous face. She is one of the most beautiful babies that I have ever seen. I am literally obsessed with this little girl. She is such a happy baby and she is so funny. I think she get's it from her mom. Even when she's asleep, she is beautiful. Opal and Lucas, if you ever want to have kids for me, I would love you, okay thanks. They are such a cute family. I made a vine just so I could keep up with them.

I'm a Barbie Girl...

Barbie: perfectionism at its finest. I can remember the glory days of my childhood where I was always experimenting with my Barbies, playing along side my little sister. I was oh so fond of hacking her hair off and changing up her style every now and then. Every Christmas, birthday, or Eid, I would anticipate the arrival of a new doll for me to play with. Till this day I can remember the first time my grandmother handed me an African American Barbie doll. That's when all my hopes and dreams came true.

Many people are probably like o.0 lol, but it's true. Growing up, listening to Barbie's fairy tale, she had it all. The dream house, the dream car, as many careers as you could imagine, and the dream boyfriend. But for me, it seemed like only a Caucasian girls life style. My mom always taught me that I could could be anything and anybody that I wanted if I set my mind to it. But that day my grandmother put that African American Barbie in my hand, I knew that I could really accomplish it.

I guess it was a 7 year olds pipe dream to have it all. Regardless of what main stream society may say about Barbie and Zsa Zsa Gabor, the lady who Barbie was first created after, she taught me that you could have it all: A career, a social life, a family, and a great pair of shoes for every day of the year. You know how I love shoes...

And a African American Ken to match!

Alaia Rose Barbier

I swear this little girl is the cutest thing I have ever laid eyes on. This beauty hasn't even reached 3 yet, and she's setting and breaking trends left and right. I can only imagine how fabulous she will be when she grows older. We see where her mother gets it from. Monica Rose is one of Hollywood's most respected stylist. The exceptionally fashionable toddler Alaia and her mommy have become an inspiration to all parents that are trying spruce up their kids' style in a way that is chic and age appropriate.


This gorgeous beauty was crowned as LA's Most Stylish Kid last year, and I see why. It is a well deserved title for a little fashionista like that. Check her out.
