Love Zahra + Lulus + Blogger Nation

First off, if you entered the Helen Ficalora giveaway, thank you so much! I have contacted the winners on both Instagram and here on the blog. I have a couple of great giveaways coming up so please check back often!
Today I’m a little sad because it is the last Blogger Nation collaboration post, we are featuring our favorite Neutral pieces from Lulus. Lulus is an online boutique that has a wide-range of really trendy affordable pieces. They feature both emerging designers as well as established global brands.
I had so much fun coming up with outfits and working with these fabulous ladies for the past six weeks. We have plans to do more of these in the future so I’ll just have to patiently wait until then! Check out everyone’s look in greater detail by clicking on the link under their pictures.LuLu*s
 
For my look, I felt there is nothing more neutral and classic than black slacks, and I fell in love with the high-waisted ankle grazing style of these. I love how they just whittle the waist, and just skim the legs. I paired with a denim top with a patchwork detail – I love how it just slightly elevates your traditional denim top. The slightly worn in faded detail is my favorite and I would wear this with white denim and sandals for a day time summer look. Both of these neutrals paired together make for the perfect outfit for either work, dinner, or an evening out. I ended up wearing it for another date night dinner – we have been getting really good about making time for date night lately and I am finally realizing just how important that is!Thanks for visiting and have a great week 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 ❤️

Cozy for a coffee date ☕️
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!
