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!

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!

I Want Wednesday - Zara Glitter Box Clutch

When I first saw this clutch, I thought it was an Edie Parker and I just had to share it with y'all! Who doesn't want the Edie Parker look that all the celebs are loving especially when that look is at a high street price! Has anyone bought this clutch? Share your stories!

Leather jackets. I cannot think of a single time in my life where I heard someone say "I hate leather jackets" and that's with good cause; leather jackets, (or if you call them moto, biker or bomber jackets) are always a perfect touch no matter the decade. Nowadays this trend is within the reach of any fashionista (on any type of budget) I do have to point out that you obviously will not be getting the same quality when you go way cheaper but don't let that turn you off! I bought a leather jacket from H&M and it was a beauty. I got so many compliments on it, so remember to really buy leather with your senses; feel it, smell it, and of course, make sure that it has the look you're going for. Oh and I'm sharing my leather purchase for the fall and I am SO excited to use it! Happy leather hunting!

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!

Gonna put the the world away for a minute

Pretend I don't live in it
Sunshine gonna wash my blues away...

So to those who don't know, I'm Palestinian-American by birth but I was born and raised in Kuwait. I am so proud of where my family comes from and this post is dedicated to a place near and dear to my heart-Northern Florida. These items scream beach and summer and everything good about that way of life. I'm going on vacation soon, and it can't be soon enough but till then, I think these words sum up how I feel when I think about what is to come...

And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise...*

Love ♥ Struck!

You knew I had to cover it, and yep, it's that time of year again - Valentine's Day! I am not a fan. Nope, I really don't understand the whole point of having one day when you tell everyone that matters that you love them. It should be an every day occurrence, but unfortunately in our fast paced world things as simple as that are easily forgotten. Well just because I don't approve of the whole mass marketed form of the holiday doesn't mean that everyone else shouldn't be allowed to strut their Valentines Day stuff! These are things that I would wear, whether it's V-Day or not. Just remember, don't wear all of these pieces together! Keep it simple, classy and elegant! Happy Valentines Day!
