By SaniaWho doesn’t love a cute pair of booties? They are perfect for this chilly weather.

By sobiamasoodLiquid lipstick, the answer to all of our prayers. There’s no more eating your lipstick and getting it on your teeth, smearing it on your blanket scarf, or getting it all over your face as you devour a burger. Matte lipsticks have sufficed thus far however it is time to aim for pigmented pop of…
By Guest BloggerIn 1947, the country of India partitioned into two separate states: India and Pakistan. When a country divides, the people do as well, and that’s exactly what happened here. The Muslims fled to Pakistan while the Hindus remained in India. Nationalism remains in both countries, while a means of unification inside, equals mutual enmity outside….
By Guest BloggerHalloween is the I-can-get-away-with-anything time of the year. Department stores get away with selling hundreds and thousands of items that can be classified as over-priced “spooky” crap, children get away with eating a shit load of candy, and adults often try to get away with costumes that are outright offensive and racist because, you know,…

By Sara MaherThe side-swept hijab is so quick and easy, which makes it the perfect go-to style for back to school. No one knows better than us hijabis how difficult it can be to work with a hijab, especially if you want layers or a turban that doesn’t look like a bird’s nest on your head. (Trust…
By Jenan MatariHey ya’ll, Happy September! As we prepare for fall (yes, already), I have to start reminding myself of “layers, layers, layers,” early on . For some reason, I’ve convinced myself that layering clothes transforms your outfit from “lazy” into “shabby chic”– whatever that means. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I tend to just…
By SaniaWhat do I love most about fashion? How it can bring all different cultures together into one common space. Lately, many trends have been overlapping throughout different cultures.
