Emmy's 2013

The Emmys were on last night and, of course, the main thing I'm interested in is the dresses. And I have to say, I was definitely left a bit disappointed. It seems like every couple of years there's a fashion lul where nothing looks too different than the previous year. It's kind of expected and a bit  boring. And this was one of those years. So with that said, here were my favorite looks of the night.

Allison Williams in Ralph Lauren

Linda Cardellini in Donna Karan Atelier

Mindy Kaling in George Chakra

Maria Menounus in Zac Posen

Mayim Bialik by Oliver Tolentino Couture

Michelle Dockery in Prada

Okay, so after I've put all my faves together, I noticed a trend. I'm digging the bold rich colors this year. Getting bored of the pastels. My best dressed are Michelle Dockery and Mindy Kaling. These were not my faves at all, but somehow they've grown on me. My favorite thing about Michelle's dress is the bottom where the it's just short enough show off those gorgeous sandals. As far as Mindy's, I like the neckline and it just seems so flattering on her. Looks effortless.

Im back...2013 trends

How long has it been?? Yeah, I don't remember either...
Let's get back into it. Eid is coming up again soon. What are your favorite hijabi trends for the fall?
Here's a few of my faves that could possibly be inspiration for eid outfits as well.

First of all, I'm loving the rich jewel tones. You really don't need much styling, just pair them with any neutral color and they speak for themselves. So luxurious and exquisite.
Colorblocking is another big trend. Just need to be careful where the lines hit so they don't make you look too choppy. I love the sweater above, it's effortless style, my favorite!
Notice a plaid comeback? Don't like all plaid prints but I am liking this plaid shirt dress. I like that the fabric is not so stiff looking. It wouldn't be so heavy with pants underneath. I've noticed shirt dresses that are cut a bit shorter on the sides looks more flattering with pants.
Another big thing is the military inspired look. It can look too tough at times, so make sure to keep those feminine touches.
Thanks for reading! 

My Top Ten Summer Vacation Must-Haves

The following are my top 10 items to pack on a summer-trip. A lot of the items I've chosen are versatile and basic that can be worn with just about anything. The whole idea when packing is to have pieces that will mix-and-match well and provide you with a maximum number of outfits.

1. Denim Jacket- It matches everything! No Joke! You can pair it with a skirt, linen pants, white pants, maxi dresses... the list goes on and on.
2. Blazer- A blazer is a great option that can go from day-to-night. If you're out all day, a blazer is a good choice that will transition well into night for occasions that are bit more dressy.

Fashion for Compassion: Fashion Show

This weekend, I went to a charity fashion show for Texas Muslim Women's Foundation. The organizers of the event were two local young women,  Ndaa Hassan, CEO & Designer of Écharpe à la Mode, and Zeena Alkurdi, CEO & Designer of Pearl Boutique. They did an amazing job bringing together our community and fellow Muslim designers in a fabulous way for a great cause.
I apologize in advance for the pictures. We were sitting on the side, so the angle isn't the best. Enjoy!
