Happy New Year! Whew! I had to take a mini break I also got sick and threw a major party as well. So blogging had to take a back seat. However, I am off my slack and ready to post. Let’s start with talking about me(lol). I love entertaining people and cooking, so naturally I wanted to have a dinner party with friends and family. Continue reading
Whew, how can something so gangsta be so pretty? These joints are totally out of my budget but a girl can sure dream. These shoes are so sick. They are unique, versatile, and sexy. Continue reading
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)
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

I was trying my new shoes on and decided to have a photo shoot with them! If you follow this blog you know I live in Oakland, CA. Which is the laid back capitol of my world at least. So naturally I have a lot of sneakers. Most of the events and activities I go to they are allowed and my job doesn’t require me to dress up so I opt for sneakers over heels often. Don’t get me wrong, I love me a heel. I enjoy a sexy, interesting, feminine shoe just as I do a crisp pair of Jordans. However you have to have balance in your closet and mine was not. Every time it was time to dress up, it was a struggle and I was limited on what I could wear because I only had a few pairs of heels and NO essentials or classics. So I saw Zara was having a really good sale, so I copped me a pair. I think I spent a total of $150 on four pairs of shoes (one not pictured because I’m still on the fence about them) Anyway check Zara out during sale time, it’s for sure the come up.
