Women’s Shoes that Aren’t Pink!: Nike City Collection
I swear I rant and rave about this weekly on twitter. The powers that be over at sneaker companies like Nike, need to realize that not all women want shoes that are Pink or Purple or some other stereotypical color like powder blue. Personally I steer clear of shoes that color unless they are extremely dope and a must have. Someone must have been listening to me. Continue reading
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday to me! Who knew I could have two birthdays?! (my legit one is in January) Today a year ago I decided to get back into doing what I love and start blogging. I must say it is one of the best choices I’ve made this year. I love fashion and love people even more. To be able to write about my friends, people I admire, things I love (and not so much) has enabled me to flex creatively and learn about my strengths and bring them out in others. Having this blog has encouraged me to take risks and put myself out there is a way that I was not used to or comfortable with. To me this is not just another fashion blog, to me it’s something that I want you to love and appreciate and become something that you feel is yours as much as it is mine. Discipline is something that is a challenge for me sometimes, so being able to commit and stay consistent just means more for everyone ( and proof to myself that I am not a world class procrastinator.) Thank you to all my friends, Family, and STRANGERS. Who retweet, like, re post , comment and come up to me in the streets to show love. It really means a lot to me. I will continue to commit to you and create. Thank you. And have some Hennessy for me today!
Gratefully,
Maryam (but my real name is Unicorn Shawty)

These may be an acquired taste but I am feeling them. Converse is trying to make the holiday season brighter this collection and my feet are ready. They are already available in Asia (of course) but will be in the US this winter and will retail for about $130. Continue reading
Must Cop: Loyalty Is Vintage…
This past week has been so busy. So the posts have been slacking and I’m so sorry. However good news is one of my favorite humans @Brookandthecity dropped some of her t shirts this weekend and you have a chance to get one (or two).

I must say…It’s a good day for me as far as high fashion is concerned. This Off-White collection designed by Virgil Abloh is my Spring spirit materialized in fashion. I want pretty much everything, and even though the first day of Fall was a few days ago, I’m hype for Spring already. Continue reading
Checking For: Balmain Spring 2015 RTW Collection

I have literally been waiting for this show all week! Olivier Rousting always comes with designs that are fresh and exciting. With an immense attention to detail, that makes Balmain distinct and can be spotted anywhere. I follow Rousting on instagram so it helped me get a grasp of what the inspiration was behind the collection.
Lusting After: Aminah Abdul Jillil Shoes…
I love a great heel just as much as I do a dope pair of sneakers. My mother has always told me that shoes are meant to be seen so why not get a pair that stands out. So I’ve been eyeing these bow pumps from Aminah Abdul Jillil that have been everywhere.
Papi Drinks Wine… And So Do I.
Ralph (my camera) and I have been swagging life out these last couple weeks and I’m having a good time. I feel like I am learning so much and each time I use my camera my shots just keep getting better. So when Randi over at PapiDrinksWine.com asked me to collaborate on a shoot for her blog of course I said yes! Randi’s blog can be categorized as a Pop-Comic site if a definition is needed. Using pop culture as the anchor but commentary that only could come from her head. In a simpler term… Continue reading
Spending Everything on Alexander Wang…
Fashion week is underway folks. Which means we are looking ahead at what Spring 2015 has to offer us. Fashion is so fast, sometimes it can be hard to keep up with what season we are looking at. I mean I am still trying to finalize my Fall and Winter looks (operation dress like Kanye). Anyway I have been taking a look at the shows and gathering my thoughts and feelings. So far so good I would say. Nothing I that wanted to write home about with the exception of a few. Case in point Alexander Wang. With a looming collaboration with H&M dropping soon, he made sure that Fashion Week was not left off the agenda.
