Like most, if not all New Yorkers, I have reached my peak of frustration with this “spring’s” weather. 40 degrees in mid-April? What gives, man?! I’m not here to bitch about Mother Nature’s wrath, though. Despite this unfortunate mood swing of hers, I am not going to let it bleed into my upcoming spring plans; […]
Spring Cleaning
One of my primary goals that I’ve kept up with for this year has been minimizing my closet. At least once a week, I look through my wardrobe, swipe left on my clothes with the speed of an avid Tinder user (I used to be one, no shame), and pull out the pieces that no […]
You vs. Time
Two hands, twelve numbers. Ticks and tocks, more commonly known as the haunting rhythmic reminder of the brevity of life. How can an inanimate object and an abstract concept dictate the way we go about our days? Why do we make ‘time’ the scapegoat for our unfulfilled dreams? We spend so much ‘time’ worrying about […]
The Joys of Weeping
Crying is anything but a sign of weakness. It is a necessary facial for our emotions, peeling open our vulnerability, extracting happiness, cleansing the soul. When we weep, we shed our dull, tired skin, comprised of everything holding us back, and unclog the pores to unveil a renewed sense of self. When tears fall, a […]
Seeking Warmth
When you think “warmth”, your mind immediately jumps to sweatpants and faux fur jackets, the sound of your fireplace crackling and countless hours spent hiding under the covers until late April. Sounds pretty nice right about now, doesn’t it? More importantly than that, we should strive to derive warmth from within. The kind of warmth […]
Nice to Meet You, 2018
Dear 2018 Sami, This year has been quite a whirlwind, to say the least. While I could ruminate on that whirlwind from a macroscopic lens, this blog is about chronicling your journey and your progress. It’s about leaving the realities of the outside world behind for a hot second and escaping into your creative cave, […]
Power Suit
The older I get, the more I appreciate fashion as a therapy of sorts. This does not refer to the copious hours spent in bed online shopping, haha; instead, I am pointing to the clothes that empower and motivate me to be the best that I can be. In a city like New York, the […]
New York, My Dear
a city like none other, traveling faster than the speed of light skyscrapers welcoming her inhabitants with outstretched arms, beckoning opportunity at every corner. her streets are paved with the footprints of strivers, dreamers, believers who flourish among the perpetual sounds of taxis honking, builders constructing and subway tracks screeching. her neighborhoods churn with […]
For the Love of Vintage
Blogging has done wonders for my realm of shopping possibilities. I’ve acquired numerous tips and tricks from fellow influencers on how to get the best bang for your buck, while maintaining originality and staying true to your own personal style. One of the particular items I’ve been having trouble with, though, is the blazer. The […]
Welcome to the Jungle
From skirts to animal prints, I’ve been slowly, but surely, breaking out of my sartorial shell. Red has replaced black (GASP!) as my new favorite color, and I am willing to take more risks with my personal style than ever before. In a way, I attribute this change to the lovely people in my life […]
