When in Vegas…

Posted on by Salisha Khan

Hello my dearest lovelies! I hope everyone is having a wonderful week thus far.

Recently I visited the city of Las Vegas in the state of Nevada. And from the moment I walked out of the airplane and throughout my entire visit I was perpetually enthralled by the brilliant coruscating neon lights along the Vegas strip , the liveliness of the people, the beauty of the landscape  and the breathtaking  buildings  with  intricate architectural designs equivalent to works of art.  Therefore, to me, Las Vegas is a city that screams glitz and glamour while simultaneously showcasing the  natural beauty of the desert landscape.

In respect to the fashion, I noticed that the way people dressed and their  fashion choices were influenced by the scorching heat characteristic of the desert climate   and the  vibrancy and energy of the bustling environment. Therefore, comfortable dressing without sacrificing style reigned supreme.

Bearing these factors in mind, on one of the days I was in Las Vegas  my husband photographed me wearing a lightweight, loose fitted ,  white sheath dress  which guaranteed me  comfort  in temperatures tipping over 90 degrees Fahrenheit.  Additionally, I felt that the straight cut design of the sheath dress and the intricate black patterns on the edges of the dress gave the outfit a bohemian feel.  However, since I wanted a  somewhat defined and lady liked  silhouette I cinched the waist of my dress with a broad belt without sacrificing that easy breezy look.

In terms of  footwear, I wore  an on trend  red suede block heels shoes. The height and width of the block heels made it an ideal footwear for an evening stroll along the Las Vegas strip in comfort while  at the same time being trendy.  The pop of red colour of the shoes completed the  look of the outfit  by providing a touch of glamour.

So my dearest lovelies, this concludes this blog post on one of the outfits I wore during my visit to Las Vegas. I hope you all enjoy this post and thank you for reading.

Lots of Love,

Salisha.

 

Pumpkin Patch Fun

Posted on by Salisha Khan

Hi sweeties,

Happy Thursday! And  I hope everyone is having a positively wonderful week thus far. Pretty soon the weekend will be upon us and although I appreciate everyday of the week, I am sure most of you all will agree when I say there is a feeling of extra love towards the weekend.

While making plans for this weekend I keep reminiscing on my adventures of last weekend. I  had visited a pumpkin patch for the first time, The Berry Acres Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze in Minot, North Dakota, and it was nothing short of magical. The charming and idyllic setting coupled with the joyous mood of everyone around felt like I was in a scene from a holiday Hallmark movie. This was therefore the perfect place to capture and highlight the essence of  my outfit.

Since I believe the key to achieving the ideal  fall outfit can be attained by layering pieces, I wore a mini sleeveless mustard color sheet dress over a peter pan collar blouse. I felt that the sheer  sleeves and the pussy bow on the blouse paired against the straight cut silhouette of the sheet dress created a chic outfit with a Parisian flair. As a matter of fact, I noticed that sheer sleeves were having a major fashion moment in the recently concluded Paris Fashion Week. So this is a fashion trend we may see more of in the upcoming months.

What I love and appreciate the most about this outfit is its versatility.  The pieces can be worn either as separates or mixed and matched to create a perfect one of a kind outfit.

To complete my look and to ensure that I remain warm in the crisp cool autumn air I wore black leggings.  I felt that the black leggings  served to add to  the overall look of the outfit by giving it a preppy edge. In respect to accessories , I decided to bring my outfit together by wearing  a  wide brimmed grey color hat. By doing this the focus will remain on the outfit.

And that my darlings concludes my pumpkin patch outfit post. Hope you lovelies like this post and talk to you soon….

xoxo

Vintage Crochet Lace

Posted on by Salisha Khan

Hi Sweethearts!

My post today will be on how I styled my lace crochet skirt.

Prior to buying this skirt, my knowledge on crochet was limited to the crochet doilies I saw being used as table mats or some sort of home décor.  So I was pretty surprised when I saw this crochet skirt. However, my amazement quickly diminished as I had instantaneously fallen in love with the crochet lace details on the skirt.  The beauty and appeal of the crochet lace is that it appears vintage and timeless which is further enhanced by the camel tone lining thereby creating what I deem an ultra feminine and  romantic skirt.

So I thought this was the perfect piece to wear when my husband and I returned to one of the places  I hold dear to my heart , The River Walk at The Woodlands Waterway, Houston, Texas, because it was there he  proposed to me.

To complete my outfit, I wanted the crochet lace to be the focal point so I decided to pair it with a  knitted, high neck top. I  felt that the blush color and the soft jersey material of the top  added the perfect balance to the net fabric of the crochet lace . To further enhance my outfit  I decided to wear a delicate floral necklace. And that my darlings is how I styled my lace crochet skirt. 

I hope you enjoy this post. Until next time….

xoxo,

Salisha

Fall Florals

Posted on by Salisha Khan
Hello Sweethearts,

My first Blog post will be on celebrating Fall with florals. For  me there is just something magical as the temperature gets cooler and the color of the leaves change to warm earthy hues of orange, yellow and brown. But what I love the most about this season, is its fashion. This is the season that challenges me to be creative on how I style my outfits while trying to be chic and cozy at the same time. So during this time I will show you how I style and accessorize my fall outfits.

With that being said, the day I took the pictures featured in this post, the weather was not too chilly but cool enough to require wearing layers of clothing. Therefore, I decided to wear a long sleeved floral dress, which I also wore during the warm summer days, but in this case I paired it with black leggings to keep myself warm.   And that is how I celebrate fall with florals.

Thank you darlings for visiting my blog and see you all soon.

xoxo,

Salisha
