From Zahra

Love Zahra + Lulu’s + Blogger Nation

This week for our Blogger Nation series, we are highlighting our favorite summer looks from Lulu’s, one of my favorite shops for unique trendy pieces that are at an affordable price. They have such a well curated selection – my favorite pieces are their dresses, two piece sets, and dressy tops that are perfect for any summer occasion. I’m currently planning my outfits for a girl’s weekend trip to New Orleans, and I am looking at Lulu’s for everything from cute swimwear to breezy skirts and dresses for day time! Plus right now they have a few sales going on, some pieces are even 70% off!

Check out any of my blogger babes’ looks by clicking on the link under their picture – I am loving everyones picks this week for sure!

I chose my summer go-to – a maxi dress- because it is so light and comfortable, and it is the easiest thing to just throw on and still look like you put some time and effort into your look. I styled this rust colored maxi dress in a dressed up way, though it could look just as good worn casual  with flats or sneakers.

My fashion obsessions are lasting a lot longer these days, and fringe everything is still on the top of my list. These suede fringe heels and my current favorite bag also add a dose of glam to an otherwise very simple dress. I would suggest sizing down one size because the fabric is really stretchy, and also getting either a cute bralette that you don’t mind peeking out, or a bra that has the back strap hidden.

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 ❤️

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!
