Slouchy Sweater and Stirrup Pants

I never thought I’d be back wearing stirrup pants since I last wore them back in third grade, but here we are! Here’s my argument for them – they don’t get saggy after a few hours of wear, they are super slimming, and most importantly, they are basically as comfortable as wearing yoga pants. I first started looking for them after seeing one of my favorite style icons wearing them. I loved how the stirrup added a twist to a simple black trouser, making the whole look so much cooler. I tried a few and ended up choosing these stirrup pants which are actually on sale here! These are perfect for the demure fashion girl who loves to try new styles, not for the sake for being trendy, but also a little bit for the sake of being trendy.

I’m pairing my pants with some of my favorite items in my closet right now: a cozy knit sweater, my favorite suede bag (that was just restocked in this color), and white pumps.

In other news, I’ve been busy with a couple of really awesome projects that I will share in greater detail here soon, but just to give you a hint on one of them – I recently collaborated  with Blue Meets Blue, and modeled their Fall collection for their site! Some of the pieces are on the website right now, and you can check it out here! Blue Meets Blue is an amazing organization that provides jobs to female refugees living here in Chicago, and the clothes are made of the highest quality materials so they are both beautiful and luxurious.

Lastly, don’t forget the Shopbop sale is going on now! You can get 20% off your order of $500 or less and 25% off of your order of more than $500! Just use code EOTS17 at checkout. I’ve already picked up this and this – both pieces that never go on sale! Sale ends Friday, happy shopping!

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!
