#LoveYourCurvesTour
(Tamara from Ashley Stewart and Coco the Comic from 105.9 FM Detroit)
I had a photo shoot planned that morning that I’d been working on for the last few weeks. Tamara of Ashley Stewart emailed, asking if I’d like to cover the event and be a special guest. I couldn’t refuse.
The fashion show was awesome and the energy was high.
Here are my top “Three” picks:
1. The tulle skirt. It can be paired with a cami, a denim button-up, or a blazer. Such a versatile piece.
2. A tribal print dress.
3. The Fringe bag. Basically anything with fringe on it is this fall’s trending detail.
It isn’t an event unless you have paparazzi.
As a special guest, I was able to join Ashley Stewart’s “Runway Competition”. I did win! Ha. But I had to take a pic with one of my fiercest competitors.
Fan Usie.
Fan Selfie. Digging the hat all the way!

Style Trifecta was in the building.
It’s not about having the perfect picture, it’s about having the perfect attitude.
I was feeling myself like Yonce’. Wardrobe breakdown:

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!

Empowerment: Fashion Blogger Style
(Photo: Worldiction)
Life is funny. The right people kind of just fall into your lap when you least expect it. I met these crazy fashion bloggers at different times, but it is like we’ve known each other for years.

I’ve been blogging for about 2+ years now and didn’t even know there were other local bloggers like myself floating around the city. We’ve bounced around from fashion show to fashion show, colliding at the last step. And this happened.

We decided to do a silver and black themed shoot, geared towards empowerment, strength, and entrepreneurship. Basically, everything we aspire to be and want to inspire others to partake in. Scott M., Worldiction, a local art photographer allowed our creative juices to flow without interruption.

Each of our personalities and styles are different, yet we all have a common goal of wanting to empower each other through our blogs and vlogs as well as our audiences by encouraging creativity and individuality, a strong sense of self.

This year has been a whirlwind of successes and failures. But as I keep pushing and meeting new people who inspire me every moment, I find the failures shrinking. Life is about living through our experiences and finding out what we’re supposed to learn from them. I am thankful to have a set of empowering women–and men–who push me to be something more, something greater than myself.

Eid Celebration: Fall Fashion
Posted on: October 25, 2013
Eid Prayer was early, early in the morning. I borrowed this amazing hijab (head scarf) from my friend. I’m not sure the exact color name, but I called it burnt orange or pumpkin.
Ahhh, no make-up on….Well at least no foundation. I felt a little naked.
My friends and I after Eid prayer. The leaves are changing. It’s officially Fall!
Outfit of the Day (OOTD): Headchain from eBay. Scarf from my friend. Earrings from Lane Bryant. Sequined blazer and dress from Torrid. And shoes from Macy’s.
Fall Fashion. Hijabi-Style 🙂
Islamic Holiday: Eid Weekend 2013
Posted on: August 16, 2013
On Eid day 1, I wore the Swak dress I won from SexyPlus Clothing in Toronto! Thanks again, Stephanie. I got the stripped jacket from Torrid, and the gorgeous necklace from Victorious Me.
Yes. I am straight flexin’.
My family, nieces, and friends.
My friends and I. Pose.
We are being sooo extra. lol.
Eid day 2. We slayed at the park. A whole of array of colors. Taste the rainbow.
Posing. And acting super de duper silly.
Eid day 3. My OOTD at the block party. Raaaawr!
Hey look. I spotted a stylistah. Her name is Nurah. Her face is beat and her outfit is very pattern chic.
No. We aren’t celebrities…well, at least not yet.
I had to beat my own face on Eid day 4. I think I did a pretty good job.
Some more of my gorgeous friends. We had fun at the concert.
So I had this idea. I said, “let’s model walk into the camera.” We did. This was the first shot. Epic. We slay!
I had too much fun with my friends and family during our holiday. My mind wasn’t on work, or school, or chores, or any pressures of life. I just got dressed and enjoyed myself. I hope you enjoyed the pictures as much as I had fun snapping them.
