I have a lot going on!!

?

Sorry I haven’t blogged in a week. I have been crazy busy. My best friend got married last weekend and I’ve got some big deadlines I am trying to meet (for work and life).

?

So one of my best friends got martied on Sunday and it was a very happy and sad experience. It’s happy because she is one of my closest friends and she’s happy, so obviously I am happy for her. But it’s actually very sad to think that everything is going to be different now and she isn’t the 18 year old that you started hanging out with a few years back. I still can’t get over that one of my best friends is now married! It’s crazy! There will definitely be pictures, but I’ll do that in another post :)?

?

I’m also moving soon! We have started painting and buying things like a fridge and patio set but no luck with a perfect bedroom set. Here are some pictures though so you can see the early stages.

My yellow closet!

So finally my outfits!!

Monday I wore a tank top from Express and a cute knee-length khaki pencil skirt. The skirt ripped a little so I changed into jeans before I went shopping with my mom. And yes, my hair is left over from the wedding.

Tuesday I found a pair of khaki capris I forgot I bought. I figured I may as well wear them because the weather was warm. WRONG! I froze! Anyway I paired it with a see-through hippie vest and a brown t shirt.

I have a ton more to say but that will do for one post.

E’s Wedding and Y’s Bridal Shower and Henna

So as some of you may know I am Arabic, which means a ton of engagement parties, Henna parties, bridal showers and of course weddings. One big thing I would like to do in this blog is help young women find different ways ?to cover up. Cover up you ask- But why? For example, being Arabic I have to dress modestly and it’s not appropriate for me to wear spaghetti straps to a wedding (I usually have a shirt under or a cardigan over). I am not saying you won’t see me in tanks every so often, because I am sure you will. I hope this can inspire some girls to find the right way to “cover up”.?So here are a few pics of my adorable dresses (including a traditional arabic thobe) and my friends.?

Me and Y at her Shower. No, it is not actually zebra, its just black and white striped. Can you guess where I got it from? Haha.

Me with the beautiful bride E. As you might be able to see here, my gorgeous Sean Collection dress is cut down the front J.Lo-style. I didn’t have the heart to close it up with some fabric, so I just went on a search until I found the perfect shirt to wear under it. My mom and I hunted everywhere, but got lucky and found it at Rave Girl.?

Here is one without the shirt, so you can see how awesome it would look. BTW, Sean Collection is my FAVE dress designer. I have 4 dresses by them and would buy 100 more if I could afford too.?

This is me and my friend H at Y’s Henna Part. I am wearing a traditional Arabic Thobe with a modern twist to it. It is usually worn on Henna parties by the bride’s family or close friends. I own 3 and I really like them. When I was younger I hated them, but of course I grew into my awesome fashion sense and learned how to make traditional fashionable.

?

So what do you guys think? Do you like the traditional Arabic Thobe? Do you have any awesome cultural outfits you absolutely love??

Ah!!! First blog post!!

So here it is! My first official blog post on my new blog! I hope to use this space to share awesome outfits I see and wear, talk about weird life things, my obsessions and some things I think are awesome.?

?

So Chicago was crazy rainy today. I couldn’t believe how bad it was. I just saw the news and traffic so was bad that people were still trying to get home at 10:00 p.m. That’s insane! I was supposed to go get my nails painted and I didn’t because the rain was so bad! I’ll just paint them myself tomorrow I guess.?

?

Anyways, this isn’t much of a first post but I will have a great one next time! I may even have photos…?
