What I'm Loving ♥

It's winter in most of the world, except where I live! This is one of those moments where I'm enjoying living in sunny Pasadena. This post is my idea of winter pieces for SoCal and I hope you love them as much as I loved hunting them down! I've missed you all!

Perfume of the Month - Calvin Klein Liquid Gold Euphoria

Fashion month is in full swing and in honor of this glamorous month, which is my birthday month btw, I've decided to share my new perfume obsession with you. Calvin Klein Liquid Gold Euphoria is completely perfect for this fall and is going to be my go to scent for this upcoming Eid. I'm actually so picky about my scents, I love florals in the summer and more refined and powdery scents in the winter. This scent is exactly what a fall scent should be, the love child of floral and powdery, delicate and woody. Next time you are next to a Faces, or anywhere else that it is sold, take a smell and let me know what you think!

My Pink Elephant - May Obsessions

Hello May and summer! It's finally here and I hear you all say "OH NO!" Well we had a good run with a cold winter and an actual Spring this year so let's not complain too much about the heat wave coming our way. So between this season’s new trends and spring collection releases, I had plenty to obsess about this month! Here are some my favorite May treats and incase you didn't know May has always been one of my favorite months of the year, it's very name brings to mind beautiful imagery. Flowers, pastels, flawy fabric and fruity desserts (hey, don't judge! Food is important, especially good food!)

So this month it was easy to put together this post, just a bunch of pretty items with florals and graceful colors oh and Star Wars! I'm a Sci-Fi fan and I am so excited about the new Star Wars movie. I was not a fan of the newer 3 in the series, but I really believe that Disney will bring us back to the golden days of Star Wars.  In short, wear a lot of brights this May, maybe let Elie Saab inspire you (I know he does for me) and don't be afraid to mix and match patterns & bright colors like the super fashionable Helena Šopar.

I Want Wednesday - MSGM Floral Pants

Ok, so yesterday I got busy and didn't have time to post my I Want Wednesday post  but here it is. These pants are just so summery and bright, merely looking at them takes me on vacation! And you know what? They've just inspired a new post - going tropical! 

Don't you love it when things work out like that? I had no idea what my next post was going to be, but now I have three! So stay tuned for a tropical post, Mays Obsessions and What I'm Loving!

What I'm Loving ♥

Who else is super busy with Ramadan? It always seems like when you have the energy to get things done you don't have the time to do them only during Ramadan it's the other way around! I have enough time to do things, only I never have the energy to start or see them through. So here is my way of giving you a little something while I get my act together and get a few good posts started!

What I'm Loving ♥

Hello from Jordan! I'm on vacation at the moment, in Amman, for a cousins wedding! There's nothing better than a break from reality and the day to day grind. This is by far my least favorite destination option, I'd rather be somewhere in Europe but beggars can't be choosers so Jordan it is! But all that aside, there's something about travelling that makes me want to go out and buy new things (haha like I need more of an excuse to go shopping right?) 

So these are what my travelling obsessed mind is loving right now! Enjoy and make sure you follow me on Instagram @my_pinkelephant for pictures of my trip!

On The Chain Gang!

These are my top picks for a bag trend that I love; chain-strap bags! So whether you like minimal or embellished, there's something to suit every single one of you! The McQueen Heroine is popping up all over the place on celebrities and I do like it, but it isn't ALL THAT! But what I am crazy about are bags that are just a big, bright pop of color! It takes the classic style and brings it into the 21st century! 

MY TIP: Try infusing a bright, color-popping hued bag into your next outfit! For extra pizazz, pick a bag with studded details that give this classic shape an modern spin!
