The Little Lion Press

So I love fashion, but I have been distancing myself from that world lately. Not because it's bad or anything, but just because as I have grown I am learning more about myself and what it is that I am truly passionate about. Having my son and seeing my siblings have children as well, has really made me appreciate family so much more. I have become so much more passionate about sharing lifes moments with your loved ones. That is why I started The Little Lion Press, it's my new baby and it is the love child of my two passions; design and family.

I named it after my little boy, Laith. Laith is an Arabic name which means 'baby lion' so it just seemed fitting to name my latest venture after him! He's my motivation and why I keep going no matter how hard things may get.

Here are some samples of my work!

 

 

Lots of love,

I Want Wednesday - Dolce & Gabbana Acetate Sunglasses

I have a really hard time when it comes to sunglasses. They're all either to big and bug-eyed, or too small and I look like I'm wearing toy glasses. So shopping for them always proves to be a challenge and as much as I used to struggle with this, I finally found my niche - Dolce & Gabbana! They have become the answer to all of my sunglass prayers. They suit me and even if I occasionally humour myself by trying on other brands, it's always Dolce & Gabbana that I come back to. So these beauties just made it to the top of my 'To Buy' list!

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!

oh la la... Rosé [PINK]

The color that started it all. Pink. I thought it was fitting to start it off again on that note. It's been a long time my friends but I am back. Things have changed, things continue to change but I have found a balance and am ready to commit to this in a way that I haven't been able to in a long time. So I got married, move half way across the world, got a job with an amazing non-profit all while struggling to learn how to be a wife and a homemaker in a place far away from everyone I love and everything I know.

So back on topic. Pink! Just saying it makes me think of spring and tea parties. It's feminine but I hate when people say it's girlie because it is more than that. Men in pink are real men in my opinion.

Anyways, this season, make sure you are edgy with your feminine ware. If already mix and match, then you're awesome and if you don't mix and match then you need to get on that bandwagon. 

Pink on.

Monday Styling - Basics Updated

I'm going to be doing more styling on the blog, so I hope that that meets with everyones approval. I'll start out with simple styles (my sensible streak for you) and gradually introduce y'all to my more crazy fashion ideas. If you have any occasions you'd like a styling done for, email me and I'll gladly oblige! Honestly, I don't even know if anyone even reads these posts or actually cares, but if you do, let me know I'm not just talking to no one!

Today's look is perfect for the fall, that is if you live somewhere where you're lucky enough to have some fall weather or are travelling somewhere for Eid where it's a bit chilly. I am, and I'm so excited to use some of my new winter items! I love textures for the fall and winter, I think they can really make an outfit. Adding a chunky cuff, an elegant gilet and a statement bag really make your favorite jeans and white shirt pop!

Gothic Fairytale

Happy Friday my pretties! This trend is the combination of all things awesome and so it's a complete treat for me and I hope it will be for you too! Feminine colors, bejewelled accessories, flowy fabrics and shapes are just the tip of the iceberg and just thinking about it all gets me all excited. Ok, maybe I am easily excited but when fashion is so perfectly everything that I love, how can I help but get all worked up! This trend really has a Brothers Grimm feel to it and it has cast a spell on me. The problem I have with a look like this is that high street doesn't always get the luxurious look and feel right, so when you're shopping for bargains make sure it's all spot on and don't over do it! This look can easily go from feminine to dorky so watch out!
