The check list...

Don't you just love the internet? You can find anything and everything on here (not sure if that's a good or bad thing). Well I was on the wonderful Pinterest (follow me guys) when I happened to stumble upon this wonderful wardrobe basics checklist and I thought I would share it. I found that even I do not have every item on this list. But that shall soon change when I make my expedition to Mall of America in 2 weeks. Hope this helps (=

If you do not have a Pinterest, you should get one because it helps when you're trying to plan events, or outfit choices. Oh and is a really good distraction during finals week. lol.

Silly me...

I tend to come off as a bit serious to people when I first meet them. But that's not the case. Most of the time when people run into me, I have a lot my mind (school, work, plus the thousands of organizations that I'm in). With that being said, there are a few items that I have been lusting over for quite some time. However, I really do not have a need for them at all. I don't like wasting money on things that do not serve a purpose. Fredflare is simply amazing. So here we go...



You cannot tell me that you do not recognize this. It's the sleeping mask from Breakfast at Tiffanys.



I want these ohh so bad. This is something that I would actually get a use out of.
Aren't they just neat? They would be perfect for my bathroom.

Maybe it's a movie theme or something, but I am in love with Juno's cheeseburger phone.
I have no idea when I would actually use it, but I want one.
(do people even use landlines anymore?)

I find these extremely funny, and probably a good conversation starter.
Ohh and good for watching movies on your phone. Or maybe even recording.

If I had kids, this would be totally awesome. I'm adding it to my wedding registry (=

Step One...

So... a lot of times I find myself with a little down time, I surf the internet looking for inspiration. Recently I've been really looking at DIY blogs and youtube videos, so I decided to try my hand at it one day. It took me forever to find all the pieces to make this clutch but eventually I got to work. Here is the final product that took me ages to make. I have recently been incorporating the colors red, black, and gold into my wardrobe, so why not make something that goes with pretty much everything in my closet? Let me know how I did.

Plus, I rarely wear heels due to how much walking I do everyday, so I decided to give you guys a little treat (= It's a cute outfit, so maybe I'll wear it sometime soon.

Am I childish...

So... ever since I was a little girl I wanted to either be a model or a ballerina. Well I'm 5 foot 3, so I guess modeling is kind of out the question. And since I never went to ballet school, I doubt my feet can handle the pressure now. However I never gave up on the idea of tutus. I am absolutely in love with them. So when Sarah Jessica Parker wore that amazing green one on Sex and the City while she was in Paris, I knew I could not give up on my dream. Well I have searched high and low for that dress/skirt with no avail (if anyone could find out where I could get one, I would love you forever). But I have found a few people who have the same dream that I do (I went as a ballerina last Halloween) Maybe one day I can get my hands on one. But in the mean time, I can hope and dream...

That amazing green dress.

My wish list...

Just when you thought my closet couldn't get any larger, I have tons of items that I plan on purchasing soon (fingers crossed). I find that my style changes a little bit every season, so I have to find things that accommodates my new look. So far though, I find myself constantly lusting over the following items, no matter what season it is. I'm a shoe junkie/addict so most of them are shoes. But... yeah. And just fyi... Christmas is coming up... and Hanukkah... and Kwanzaa.... and it could even be a late Eid present. lol.

New inspiration...

That's what I find in this toddler clothing line, First Rite. I love the rustic feel that the designer Nikki Garcia incorporates into her collections. And anything that is inspired by menswear, sign me up! I am obsessed with her attention to detail with all the intricate folding and pleating techniques. She is a minimal and modern girl, with a little dark side to her. There might be an update to my wardrobe in the near future.
