Feelin’ Blue
Detroit Institute of Arts
Detroit, MI
My blogger friend, Lala and I, took a trip to the Detroit Institute of Arts. Before the snow fell in Michigan, we had a mini photo taking session.
Jeans are so hard to find for mostly all body shapes, especially since I have short, fat legs. So finally, I went to Burlington Coat Factory and found a pair of stretch jeans. OMG. They are nice and comfortable. Doesn’t even pinch my belly rolls either.
I got this peplum jacket from Torrid last year. Had to pull this staple piece out the back of the closet. I really love this shot! So laid back, which I rarely am. Haha.
Turban: Can’t remember
Neckpiece: Go Go Lush
Peplum: Torrid
Shirt and Shades: Forever 21
Jeans and Boots: Burlington Coat Factory
I’m ‘so-called’ handling business.
Hope you guys enjoyed my OOTD set 🙂

Style Blog X Self
I’ve been blogging for a little second now, but just beginning to take it seriously. Hell, I’ve just started to take myself seriously. Instead of treating my blog like Instagram or Facebook, where I post pretty pictures, I should be treating it like a diary–a virtual diary. Isn’t that’s what blogs are for? Blogs were created to be that independent platform where creatives and internet revolutionaries could have a voice.
Since I am turning the big 2.8. and embarking on different journeys, I am self-reflecting on who I am, what am I doing, and what had I initially set out to do? In these days and times, the world is so fast, people have quick access to so many avenues and channels that no one has time to stop, mediate, and think. And since, I am nearing 30, I feel the need to take a breather and take it down a notch.
Life is everything vs. self. You always have to come back to self at the end of the day. I think that’s important to say, but so easily forgotten. I need the same reminder as well. That’s why I am so grateful to have creatives around me so that they can say, “Hey, you’re getting crazy. Come back to life and we’ll talk. K?”
Like my buddy, Madinah 🙂 Who beats my face and takes photos of me. What more could I ask for? Haha.
I think everyone should walk through life with a long cape on and a smile on their face. We’re getting old, have fun sometimes!
I had a lot of fun with this shoot, even though it was hot as heck outside. Us, Michiganders, aren’t used to very hot days. lol.
Stubby ‘n’ fierce. Bye Felicia!
Eid Celebration Style

Lansing, MI
The Capitol Building
An Eid Celebration
For this Eid (Muslim holiday) I wanted to go for Maleficent meets Jon Snow. I ordered a grass green dress from Etsy and of course it didn’t fit. I freaked out. Then quickly ordered this lace one from F21. The crown, I got from Charming Charlie’s. My new fave accessories store.
A close-up of all of the fashionable goodness. Just simmer in it for a while.
I was the designated photographer for the day. I had to capture all the queens in their royal glory.
Here’s a close up of her turban styled by me. I loved her Sailor Moon inspired crown.
Lamiah’s color combo is appeasing to the eye. And check out the pearl belt detail.
I love playing around in turbans. I just made this one up.
My little sis also slayed in a mint and white color combo.
This photo screams confidence.
A close-up of her neck-piece. It’s all in the detail.
Shanni’s Arabian train was everything.
We all #Queen together.
Had to end the day with a few usies.
Hey there, beautiful.

So Bruna of the blog StyleMile and I were asked to return to the Ultimate Style Expo to serve as guest judges on the Street Style Blogger Competition!
We chose Jordan Blackwell of Lil Miss JB Style. Loved the monochromatic look!
Thanks Shaneia for inviting me 🙂 I enjoyed myself.
This model rocked the runway.

These pics are super dark. Forgive the lighting. Yall like my dress, though? It’s from Forever 21 and so is the necklace. I shop there so much that I think I should just start working there. Ha.

Jireh (at the end, far left) of the blog Fashion Meets God didn’t win, but she looked amazing. Her dress was courtesy of Thrift on the Ave in Detroit.

Ford Freedom Awards 2015
Before I begin going into the awards show and the unforgettable musical performances. I just want to shout out my ‘glam’ team. Madinah hooked me up once again with this dramatic, yet subtle makeup look. She and her daughter, Lamiah, also helped me get dressed and accessorized 🙂 The owner of Ann Nahari, shipped my couture gown overnight. I designed this gown with her a few months ago, and she brought my idea to life. Thanks!
I styled this entire look. I haven’t really worn red that much, but I am experimenting with new textures and colors this season.
Dress: Ann Nahari
Lace Turban: Indo/Paki Flea Market
Belt: Dots
Head piece, Earrings, and Bracelet: Forever 21
I never would’ve found out about this event unless Carlotta didn’t mention it on her Facebook page. Thanks for the invite. We were definitely the ‘Ladies in Red’.
Special musical guests for the evening was Big Sean and award winning singer, Ledisi. She can blow!
Shout out to White Castle for being open 24 hours!
A Gift From Marlee’s
Posted on: November 18, 2014
I was feeling kind of down that day, but then I got a surprise package in the mail. Inside this lovely clear box with the purple bow was a golden open cuff and two sparkle bangles, one silver and one gold. I created an outfit around my gifts and they went perfectly.
Here are the gold and silver sparkle bangles.
And the cuff.
I want to give a huge thanks to Marlee’s in Novi, MI for the gifts 🙂

And here is my entire ensemble.
Headwrap: Walmart (5 bucks!!!)
Glasses: Claire’s Accessories
Cardigan and Dress: Forever 21 Plus
Shoes: Payless
One Swak Dress: Two Styles
Posted on: November 8, 2014
Last year, I won a contest in Toronto and was given a $200 shopping spree by SexyPlus Boutique. I picked out this magenta colored dress by SWAK designs. It fits my wide hips and falls perfectly. I am short, so usually dresses are too short or too long.
So, I was at a wedding recently and paired this dress with a polka dot cardigan and a magenta colored scarf to match. It was cute yet simple.
So, this one was taken at a picnic this summer. I wanted to be a little edgy so I paired the dress with pearls, a twist turban, and some killer 70’s inspired shades from Forever 21.
Which style do you like best? And why?
My bestie came all the way from Minnesota to celebrate with us for our Islamic holiday.
I am really loving black lipstick. I kind of want to wear it everyday now.
So I got this pink dress from Ashley Stewart on the clearance rack!
The pink and white scarf and the shades are from Forever 21.
The pics are kind of dark but you get the picture.
I have a lot of fun with my fashion. Since it’s fall it’s time to start working those layered looks.
Playing in Make-Up with Madinah
Posted on: July 11, 2014
Gosh. I just love when Madinah does my make-up. She wanted to try a soft face with a blue lip.
She also wrapped my turban for me. I love the new style.
#Turbinista
I wish my skin looked this smooth everyday. The struggle.
Yes, it’s a photo shoot. All black everything ‘curvy style’ with polka dot leggings underneath a sheer maxi dress from
Forever 21.
I (heart) my MUA!
