Nantucket

These are some snipets from our night in Nantucket, MA. Anthony had a show with the talented Eve Costarelli (flamenco dancer/youth teacher) for art week. I was able to come along and spend a night/afternoon there. We had a great time with Eve and her husband the first day attending the show and then getting dinner afterwards. The next morning we had breakfast and visited the different shops around.

I wasn't really expecing much from it but I was pleasantly surprised that I did actually like our little stay on the island. The people were friendly, the place we stayed in had so much character, and we enjoyed the different art studios that were exhibiting work. I was so excited to find a photo exhibit happening with images by Steve McCurry, who is well known for the "Aphgan girl" image he did for national geographic. I just googled him and saw this quote which I wanted to share, “If you wait,” he realized, “people will forget your camera and the soul will drift up into view.” How beautiful, right?!

There weren't many options for food, and most of it was wayyy overpriced but we did find a gem of a place for breakfast! It's called Black Eyed Susan's and I would say if you're visiting that is a must eat at place! It was packed and a bit of a wait but it was worth it. We had a Thai omelet  and some cheese-y pancakes. The stuff will put you in the hospital if you eat it everyday but it was a nice vacation meal.

There happened to be a huge sale going on where everything was half off and we found some cute thrift stores and a Tibetan shop where I picked up some goodies for really cheap! The scarf was thrifted and the sandals and necklace were from the Tibetan shop. Anthony was sweet to get them for me :) The necklace is my favveee, I just love ethnic jewelry!!

I know this is sooo late to post but hopefully it brings some sunshine during this yuck winter weather!

It's a Dull Life: Neutral Love

I've been wearing a lot of neutrals lately. I'm not sure what's wrong with me as it's out of my norm. I tend to wear brighter colors more often. I've been enjoying exploring neutral hues and finding ones that suit me. Even in makeup I'm reaching for brown and reddish eyeshadows and even brown lipsticks! Don't ask what this lipstick it because it's a mish mash of things including an eyebrow pencil! I tend to lean more towards the cooler neutral tones. I wear this scarf allll the time. I just love it. It goes with everything and blends with my eyebrows so it tends to be my go to scarf when I don't know what else to wear.

This is my favorite outfit post to date. When I got finished with this shoot, (Which took me a few hours in the freezing cold! It's not easy running back and forth making sure things are in focus while pressing a remote and posing.) I had a big sigh of satisfaction. I love how it came together with the editing and the mood. I was so proud of myself for pushing this one out. One of my new year goals is to do more fashion posts and give this blog more love. A custom blog makeover is on the list too by the talented pink and lola whom I've been stalking!

Much love,
Feda

Falling for Fall

In general I haven't been a big fall person in the past. This fall is feeling quite special this year and I'm slowly falling in love as if we're just meeting. I'm getting into purple a bit more which is really strange for me because I'm more of a pink person but I've found a few magenta-purple shades that suit my coloring. I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone and experience life in different hues. My style and color palette keeps evolving and I think that has a lot to do with just getting older. I feel like I prefer to be a bit more classy boho looking these days as oppose to just bum hippie boho (saying this while typing in my bum clothes). Hope that makes sense?! I'm still not into the whole pumpkin-cinnamon-squash everything yet. I basically hate the taste of all of it. Pumpkin latte, NO PLEASE!! One step at a time right?!

This outfit I wore to a Boston Fashion Week event this Monday and I got so many compliments on it. I feel like it doesn't quite match correctly but oh well..sometimes I don't match! The cool thing is it's almost entirely thrifted. My favorite is the scarf which I believe is vintage. The print and colors of it are so unique. The jacket was thrifted but originally is H&M and the dress thrifted and originally an old Liz Claiborne gown. It has long sleeves and it's really funky! The proportion is sort of strange on me but I still love it! The rings seemed to get a lot of attention too. My friend Dina sent them to me as she wasn't getting much use out of them. They are from Lebanon if you are wondering;) The bag and head scarf are from TJ Maxx.

Eid Style

Wanted to quickly post my Eid outfit. I've been smitten with florals, nudes, red, and aqua all summer. When I found this scarf at the thrift store I was so excited! It had all the colors I loved in it. My sister Neda is wearing a maxi dress with a cute belt and scarf!

Eid is an Arabic word meaning celebration, festival, or feast. This Eid was celebrating the month of fasting, Ramadan. Eid is always a "Eid" affair for me and my family being that our last name is Eid. I guess I should always be celebrating?!? ;)
