It has certainly been some time since I last splattered my words and thoughts onto this blog (the break was much-needed). Here we are, six months later, not only ushering in a new year, but a new decade. If I could sum up my last 10 years in one phrase, it would be, “under construction”. […]
Appreciate the Process
I stumbled upon a tweet by Gary Vaynerchuk a few days ago: “Want to prove something? Prove that you’re enjoying the process of figuring yourself out and chasing your current ambitions and curiosities.” This piece of advice really stuck with me, because as a 20-something in the process of figuring her own self out, it […]
Eradicating Inadequacy
Inadequacy. The feeling that you are not enough, or not doing enough. The more it festers, the more your thoughts become shrouded in negativity, and your heart ends up on shaky ground. Even in the midst of all the good happening in your life, you can’t seem to look past that one small, insignificant thing […]
Snake and Bake
If you’ve stuck around with me and this blog enough, then you know I’m not the biggest wearer of prints and patterns. Slowly but surely, I am trying to change that, because fashion is too much fun to just be sporting black all the time (college Sami would slap me in the face for saying […]
Let’s Get It, 2019
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 […]
