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 17...

The following pieces are on my wishlist. I love a lot of things, but I'm not balling like that. I have a car and rent to take care of. Plus I have to eat. But these are on my one day must have list.

I am in love with tutus, but especially this one as I've stated before.
But I really want this one in particular. 

I have been eyeing this tank for forever. But LLULO no longer carries it.
She has a lot of stuff that she first came out with that she no longer carries that
she made before I knew about her. I wish she would bring it back,
along with the Yoruba tee. 

People always say I'm crazy for wanting this dress, but I just do. I love all of
Ulyana Sergeenko's designs. It 's so modern, simple, and sophisticated. 

Yes, I am one of those girls who want to have at least one pair of Louboutins in her closet.
But I cannot justify spending that much money on a pair of shoes,
so they would have to be spectacular for me to do so. Which the ones above so.
At least I think so. 

I'm not sure if Ulyana is the designer of this dress, but I love it. Black dresses that are simple
just seems so sophisticated to me. Plus, I think i have the body for it. lol.

One huge thing I wish I could have in my closet is a wedding dress. I guess I feel like it's about that time to seriously think about the future with graduation right around the corner. Some people say I'm too young to be thinking about that, and others say I'm getting old. Either way, it's on my mind. So InshaAllah (God willing), it happens sometime in the near future. 

30 Day Challenge: Day 9

My favorite pair of shoes are of course vintage Steve Madden, but have a huge sentimental value to me. They were a graduation present to me from my dad. And my dad has really nice taste, but he only uses on him and my mom. So when I recieve an article of clothing from my dad, it always seems special. But, I have grown since then and they no longer fit my foot, so I have passed them on to someone else, who I hope will get better use out of them. I guess I'm just trying to spread the love, rather than holding on to them. But aren't they just devine?

Graduations...

I cannot wait till I am in your shoes this coming December, InshaAllah (God willing). I was so excited to see people that I have come to love in the past 3 years, walk across the stage. Congratulations to you all. It was fun seeing everyone and meeting their families. Next year will truly not be the same without you guys.

My new tie...

So... obviously I am in love with ties, bow-ties, and ribbons (even though there are no pictures posted). I went to JcPenny the other day and grabbed a crap load of them for $2 a piece. I was in heaven. Not all of them are my style, but I'm up for being adventurous with what I wear sometimes. Let's see if I can handle being out of my comfort zone.

Jummah Mubarak...

It's Friday!!!!! I know I'm excited. MLK day is on Monday so most of us get to enjoy a 3 day weekend. My main plan is to sleep, sleep, and sleep some more. However, before I could do that I had to get through the day which was very eventful. After work and class, I went to Jummah and then had lunch with a couple of my friends. Then my best friend, Asma and I ran over to Red Mango for some frozen yogurt which was 10 times better than Spoonful. I an in love with the white peach flavor. 

I then was sucked into going out to 2 kick backs later that night. I was too lazy to change out of my clothes, into something else, so I probably was entirely over dressed for the occasions. But hey, they see me on campus. They should know me by now. I really am in love with this outfit though.

First day of school...

I can recall so many times where I was nervous for the first day of school because that's when everyone brings their "A" game. I thought it would fade after high school, but it didn't. I still get that giddy feeling the night before. Maybe it comes with maturity, but it didn't really matter to me this past week. I was just excited to see who came back this semester. I'm not always aware of who has graduated until they are missing the following semester. Anywho, how did I do?
