• Hotel Bowery 50, NYC

    New York City – is simply my absolute favourite. I am beyond obsessed with everything it has to offer. If I was younger, childless and no responsibilites – I would move there and restart my life there. I love how fast paced it is – the food – the people – the character – everything just has so much personality!

    Hotel Bowery 50 was no different. I had such a blast on their roof top. It had the most perfect views of the city. The rooftop was super high up so you could see everything so easily. Such a great vibe.

    I also met the greatest photographer team. An NYC couple whose favorite thing to do is capture special moments. They do engagements, maternity, branding, family and beyond! Fun fact, they started out as models in front of the camera and loved the feeling of getting amazing photos that they said they will cherish for the rest of their lives and decided they wanted to provide that for others. They’ll be your best friends and capture all of your special memories! They know how to work both in front and behind the camera. They’ll totally bring out your inner model!

  • Year Of The Tiger

    In celebration of the Chinese New Year, I had to do a shoot with everything tiger. I was born in 1986 ( also being the year of the tiger), so with the brand new year – I really needed to pull all the luck I could. I love this scarf from Versace. It has a tiger in the center which you can’t really see as it’s on my head (obviously). With this ultra sexy art piece from Modern Sense and console from the same place – I felt this outfit was only fitting! Preston seriously killed the shoot and I was so happy wiht how everything pulled together!

  • Don’t Kill Me – I didn’t Iron

    Rushing out to work and it was either that I iron my fit or I spend a little extra time on the curls! Either way – I regret not ironing my outfit because it doesn’t look as crisp as it could! Shein has a new MOTF line that has amazing quality and is perfect for the working gyal who wants some real longevity out of her pieces! Also – another few pieces of furiture from Modern Sense. Can you tell how much I love that place?

    Set: Shein

  • Statement Dress Moment

    As we enter Spring – is it safe to wear bright colours? I’ve really been feeling them these days. As someone who frequents neutrals, quite often – I’m slowly steering from that to colour with a new season around the corner. I love this purple. It’s like a mix of lavender and violet. Sitting against these turquoise chairs from Modern Sense really brighten it up as well.

    Dress: Shein

  • Luvlette Feature

    It’s not till recently that I really started enjoying good quality sleepwear. Luvlette has the best selection! Can I tell you how soft this fabric is? You can wash it multiple times and there will be absolutely no wear and tear in the way the set fits! I’m sooooo in love! I ordered a blue set and a black set. It’s just the most buttery smooth material and sleeping in it feels extremely luxe!

    PJs Set: Luvlette

  • My FAVE Colour

    Just know, right now – that this is the colour you are going to see me in – ALL SUMMER LONG. Growing up and being from Pakistan, we would call this “shocking pink.” I was obsessed with it as a child and I recently saw the Versace platform shoes from this season in the same pink and fell back in love with the brightness. I picked up this dress from Shein for a mere $24 and honestly – this might just be the best buy of the month. It’s form fitting and extremely flattering!

  • Stepping Out of My Comfort Zone

    Sometimes – just sometimes – I forget how to dress my age. This was a perfect example of a day where I happened to step out of the house with an anime bodysuit (I don’t even watch anime) – and pants that are too big for my own liking. But I almost really loved the fit together! What’s even better is that the pairing looked way better in person. I’ll definitely get really good use out of these jeans. When styled properly, you can definitely get a ton of versatile looks from them!

  • Blue Waves

    I loved my hair today! It totally turned out the way I wanted it to! I wanted the waves in my hair to play off the waves that my outfit reminded me of. This fit is so easy! You don’t have to think of a pairing with the pants or shirt but you can if you want to switch up the look! The blue coordinated so well with the chairs in these pics! I’M OBSESSED with the chrome and the colour of them. The chairs are from Modern Sense – my favourite furniture store located in Toronto, Ontario. The shelves and tables you see – are also from the same place. It’s the perfect store front if you want your home to look super chic!

    Fit: Shein
    Shoes: Zara

  • Brown Girl in Brown

    This was a tough photo shoot. Simply because of the cold. I tried to make it look effortless because its so easy to see how uncomfortable I am in when I’m shooting. Luckily, these pants from Shein had me slightly warm because of the lining on the inside. Preston and I were at our favourite spot on Main St. Markham when shooting this. He’s literally so quick that I managed to be in and out within 10 minutes. Anything more and I would have gotten a frost bite! Dramatic much? Yes. But it’s my blog – so I can be as dramatic as I wish.

    Glad I got this fit in before Ramadan and I go into complete hermit mode where all I do is focus on worship and work. And being a mom, of course. =)

  • Bain Ultra Tub Reveal

    Let me start with this – obsession is an understatement. I have a new tub and the features are endless. This is the best addition to my self care journey and I couldn’t be happier.

    I ordered the Libra tub from Bain Ultra and I am so much more relaxed. A bath with 42 jets shooting at your back at the end of the night is the perfect conclusion to a day of single momming + working. Heated backrest? Sign me up. Chromatherapy? Press that button. A control pad and app on my phone to control it all? What era are we living in?

    Did I mention that when you are putting your tub together, you can customize what features entice you and build your dream tub quite easily. Each tub has its own options and often offers a second setting to each feature for you to enjoy with your partner!

    A freestanding tub is the most chic touch you can give any bathroom and to add function to that is life changing. I’ll find any excuse to get a bath in.

    Tub: Bain Ultra
    Floor Tile: SS Tile and Stone
    Tub Filler: Homary
    Wallpaper: York
    Shirt: Romwe
