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

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 […]

Dear Fall
Dear Fall, It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance once again. Although I anticipate your time here will be depressingly fleeting, I want you to know how my spirit transforms when you’re around. Wonderful changes are on the horizon. The foliage turns vibrant in color and mood. The sticky, humid air becomes cool and crisp, […]
’80s Love Child
Now, for part two of my NYFW outfits, I present to you a look that unabashedly embodies “Grandma trying to make ~cool~ happen”. That is, if Grandma rummaged through her millennial granddaughter’s wardrobe and gave leather skirts a twirl because she wanted to feel young and hip again. If you continue to scroll down, you […]
