From Zahra

Embellished

You may have noticed things look a little different here at Love Zahra, because I recently changed my blogging platform from Blogger to WordPress and also made the layout a lot cooler and prettier thanks to the help of Lindsay at White Oak Creative. What do you think? I’m still learning how to use wordpress so bear with me if some of my links are broken on some of my older posts, I am working on it, I promise!

I did lose all of my subscribers though, so please subscribe by entering your email address in the right sidebar where it says ‘Never Miss A Post’. Thank you so much for subscribing!

This past weekend was so much fun, we packed a ton of activities in but I still feel like we had enough time to really enjoy it. We visited the pumpkin farm, celebrated Eid with our family, and had a good amount of indoor family time getting cozy by the fire. Adam loves roasting marshmallows these days, but he won’t eat them!

I’ve been wearing these Tory Burch slippers non-stop lately, I love how they make the outfit a little more special – all while still being really comfortable. All a part of my new M.O. to buy really great flat shoes to go with my new lifestyle where I am mostly home or running errands with the little one. Also, this blouse by Joie is on major sale right now, and I am loving jewel tones for Fall.

Thanks for visiting, make sure to subscribe, and have a great day! xx

Last week we took a quick trip to escape the snow for some sunshine in Key Largo, Florida☀️ We spent every moment possible outside, Tom and Adam got their Scuba Diver PADI certification (yay!) while Sophia and I spent our days either swimming or drawing marine life and landscapes. This was my first trip after my sister passed last November, and even though I look so happy here, there were so many moments I felt the grief and sadness, as if it happened just yesterday. I am still figuring out how I want to show up in this space, as I have changed so much as a person since the loss. I just don’t feel called to post some of the things I shared before. Maybe that will change someday, or maybe it will just naturally evolve into something new. I think I will take this year to just process it all. (Even the idea of taking an entire year to think through something is a huge shift for my usually hyperactive type A personality) My focus at the moment is just living in the moment with my family and friends, spending time doing things that make me happy and healthy. I hope to share some of that journey here with you ~ thanks for following along ❤️
I had planned to shoot this outfit in collaboration with @lenacoutureofficial right before my dear sister passed away. Saba, the designer, was more than understanding if I didn’t want to anymore - but after thinking on it for a while I decided I wanted to - in my sister’s honor 💗 She was always my biggest hype woman. When i would feel like I’m not good enough or that I should quit (which was often) she would tell me I was unique and great and to keep it up. When I think of my sister, beauty and love is all that she embodied in her being. She expressed that on the outside also - as she loved to wear everything glam, bright & colorful, and full of bling. Hair done, nails done, everything did - that was Nusrat. For this shoot I took the time to get glam after a long hiatus - and makeup and hair took so long because I think I forgot how to do it, but afterwards I was surprised how I felt transformed. When I wore this gorgeous outfit that I know was designed with such love and incredible attention to detail by @lenacoutureofficial, I felt all of that beauty - like a walking piece of art, and very much at peace. Thank you so much to @divmophoto for capturing the feeling so well 💕
Ski weekend with my favorites ❄️❄️ So proud of Sophia for skiing on her own for the first time!
There are some trees with seeds that only grow after a fire. Their seeds are completely sealed with a resin that have to be physically melted off by a great fire in order to propagate. So to do we as humans, gain wisdom only after great pain and suffering.*
A month ago (and one day) I lost my sister and best friend to cancer. I am still completely gutted and broken. But, I’m also so so grateful to have had felt the love that now brings me so much heartbreak. ❤️ I am so inspired by her - and I will forever live my life to honor her memory. Miss you sis ❤️

French. Toast. Egg. Bake. Save this recipe for a weekend or holiday brunch - it’s SO good and fool-proof! I’m not even a sweet person and I love it. The pecans are a non-negotiable IMO - I get honey bourbon vanilla pecans for this and it is just heavenly. Enjoy!
