At last, the New Year is upon us, my friends. I know what you’re thinking. Do we REALLY need another “goals for next year” post from you, Sami? Maybe not, but it helps guide me toward a freshly paved path. I am more than eager to extinguish the flame of this year’s past and begin […]
The Future Can Wait
The future — sometimes we fear it, like the monsters we were once convinced lived under our beds. Other times, we embrace it in full, with such an acute exhilaration for all we have to look forward to that we are forgetting one simple question: what about NOW? Since my high school days, I have […]
The Teddy Coat
The teddy coat — also known as the piece in your closet that will elicit excessive touching and petting from friends due to its stuffed animal-like softness. It is also one of my favorite coats of the season, as it hits the shelves in various styles and price points for all. From a chic, oversized […]
A Style Evolution
As Sweet Blog of Mine comes up on three years, I can’t help but be proud of myself for continuing to take risks with my sartorial choices. From experimenting with color, to dabbling in various textures and silhouettes, I am finally evolving into the person I want to be — from a stylistic standpoint, of […]
Falling for Fall
I find that the genesis of a new season ushers in a clean slate on multiple fronts – especially fall. Just as the leaves change color and split from the trees, we shed the parts of ourselves that have grown stagnant, relinquish the fears that once held us back, and part ways with relationships that […]
Hitting the Jackpot
One of the highlights of vintage shopping is going into it with little to no intent. Of course, it would make the hunt a lot simpler if you already have a specific piece in mind, but sometimes, it’s more fun to hit the jackpot when you least expect it. A few weeks ago, I went […]
The Roaring Twenties
The Roaring Twenties was a decade of economic prosperity, accompanied by decadence and a blatant disregard for the rules (hello, Prohibition). Even more than that, it was an era that ushered in a cultural renaissance of sorts. One of the greatest developments: women earning the right to vote, which paved the way for a new […]
Fluttering About
This shirt’s sleeves aren’t the only thing fluttering about these days. Recently, I have been jumping into a ball pit of stress. With looming uncertainties about my career, finances, and personal success consuming almost every thought, I find myself overthinking the small stuff as well. The thing is, with a series of lows, eventually, comes […]
Love the Skin You’re In
Once upon a time, I felt extremely insecure about my pale skin tone. Throughout my life, I’ve refrained from wearing anything in orange or yellow, for fear of the colors washing me out. I was envious of anyone who could sit in the sun and achieve the coveted golden glow without turning into a lobster. […]
Rad in Ruffles
You guys, I CANNOT believe we are halfway through the year already. Moreover, I can’t believe it’s almost July, and this is my first outfit post of 2018 where I’m breaking out the shorts. Happy freaking Summer, pals! I think this is one of my favorite outfits I’ve put together in awhile. For someone who […]
