بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم السلام عليكم Hello beautiful ladies.  I hope we are all having a great week, if not remember tomorrow is Friday! You nearly there. Today's post is rather short, what was just going to be my 'OOTD' turned into a mini post because Nuha kept saying "just one more picture" haha. This outfit is from last week when I attended my cousins high school's fashion show, Groote Schuur High which happens to be my 'old, old' school.  Fashion shows always makes me really excited because I always end up leaving with the thought that one day I'll have my own one Insha'Allah.  Speaking of Fashion Shows, you do not want to miss the one created by Al Azhar High School.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم السلام عليكم Hello everybody, I know we've been having really cold days recently which does excite me, because I have been planning a mini winter lookbook.  As for today I thought I would make a post on one of my favorite go-to clothing item, which is a pencil skirt.

I paired my pencil skirt with a long 'adorkable' t-shirt which has this cool Star Wars comic print on it. (yes I can name them all. haha).

 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم السلام عليكم Happy Sunday everyone. I hope you all had a fun and exciting weekend and to those who had school holidays I hope you had the chance to recharge your batteries. We all deserve a break, whether it is a night away at some luxurious hotel, a week away on a road trip with your closes friends or even if it's as simple as spending some time at home watching movies and pampering yourself. Life can get so busy sometimes we forget to take in what really matters, sounds cliche right? but it is true. As teenagers or should I say young adults we get too caught up in our own thing and forget how important the little things really are, like making your mom a cup of tea or building oddly shaped Lego cars with your baby brother. I definitely speak to myself first when I say we should all put in a little more effort when it comes to family ties.  Wow this is what you get when you decided to write so early in the morning with no distractions but just
