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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Orange Crush
Lately, it feels as though I’ve been placing the blog on multiple hiatuses. For those of you who follow along, my sincerest apologies. I can solely blame it on the good ‘ol writer’s block, AS USUAL, or I can partially chalk it up to a chronic case of laziness (step one is admitting you have […]
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 […]
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 […]
