You all know I have a major sweet tooth. I mean, I eat 2 scoops of ice cream every night. So of course I had to visit this amazing gourmet chocolate shop @compartes in LA. They have nearly 50 flavors of chocolate bars (think Willy Wonka bars) in the most unique flavors like popcorn, matcha, potato chips, lucky charms and even birthday cake. And each flavor comes with actual chunks. Pay them a visit if you ever get a chance! The Beverly Hills mall it’s in, is probably the bougiest outdoor mall I’ve ever seen during the holidays at night.

stairwell series// After dressing up to meet a friend over sushi last night, I got so many compliments that I had to share the look. It’s a casual-cute dinner outfit made of all my favorite pieces. Silver loafers from @payless and an oversized @jcpenney furry cardigan jazz up any casual look. My emerald green pleated satin top from @maxfashionindia never fails to make me feel like a million bucks. Seems like all I wear these days are mom jeans from @forever21 because of their modest fit. I always use two tricks when wearing jeans. They must be cuffed at the bottom for a more fitted look. This helps if you have shorter legs like me. And my top always needs to be french tucked thanks to my boy @tanfrance

Been feeling a little nostalgic about my trip to San Francisco this past December. The weather can get pretty chilly, but the scenery, culture and diverse food make up for it. If you guys do visit, the fudge sundae at Ghirardelli Square is an absolute delight. Probably the creamiest ice cream I’ve ever had, and I eat ice cream every day for dessert. Still working on a San Francisco travel guide so stay tuned for that 😊 —————— Edit @the_ivory_tree

So excited to share this amazing piece by the talented @the_ivory_tree. Make sure to follow her page to show support!

I might be just a tad late to post about world hijab day, but for me everyday is hijab day 🤷🏽‍♀️ So let’s get into it . Twas’ the summer of ‘16 when I transferred to the University of Houston where the hijabi population is significant, so I naturally began spending more time with them. Growing up, my main friend groups were either completely Indian or a mix of multiple ethnicities, depending on which of my 12 schools we’re talking about. But not once did that include a Muslim, let alone a hijabi. I had this misconception that hijabis were overly conservative, judgmental and sheltered, which I obviously now know is not true whatsoever . Spending time with these strong and intelligent women who I now call my family really shifted my perception. Seeing how they were unapologetic about their faith, confident in their beliefs in this political climate, prioritized community service, and strived to achieve their career goals with no excuses taken, I was truly inspired. I wanted to emulate everything they did, but mostly I wanted their courage. I had never cared what anyone thought of me while growing up, so why did I care so much in this aspect? And that’s when my hijab journey started. I would wear it occasionally when I hung out with my hijabi friends, but soon after, it evolved to becoming a regular part of my routine . My mom started wearing the headscarf after she got married so I always thought that’s when I’d start too. Before then, I never even considered it, nor was I ever pressured to do it by my family. It was my choice. All mine. This is probably the one decision I would never take back. I’m proud of it and excited to represent my community/religion everyday. A healthy society doesn’t run on ignorance, so come talk to me. I’m an open book. #worldhijabday

I’m so excited to share with you my new blog post that I’ve been working on for a while! With the help of the talented photographer @laraibhashmi_, I was able to execute my vision of creating a post on styling a dress 5 different ways. My favorite look is this one, paired with classic @champion sneakers and an olive denim jacket from @charlotterusse. Link is in my bio as usual. Which look is your favorite? 📸 @laraibhashmi_
