WHAT WE WORE: Spring is in the air

Good morning sweet people. So I have to tell you this, I find it hardest to press ‘Publish’ on these posts. This is far from a fashion or style blog and I guess its still hard for me to fathom that me of all people is doing this series. I would’ve never in a billion years, when I started blogging, thought I’d ever do this. Hehe. But that’s the point of all of this, to push my limits and step a little out of my comfort zone. Also its hard to pose for these pictures, so please ignore our (mainly mine) awkwardness in these photos sometimes ;)

Anya wears: Dress from Target (a birthday gift from a sweet aunty), T-Shirt from Target, Tights from Joe Fresh at JC Penney, Boots from Old Navy

I wear: Top custom made by tailor in Pakistan, Pants from Gap (seen before here and here), Booties by Crown Vintage from DSW, Sunglasses from Gap

An outfit post and some gorgeous weather.

Hi lovelies, it is absolutely beautiful outside these days. I’m a spring person mostly as it signifies bluer skies specially this side of the world but there is something about this fall that I am particularly enjoying. We wake up to foggy mornings with the slightest hint of sun rays streaming through and as the day goes by they turn into these bright sunshine filled evenings of the prettiest type. And not forgetting the beautiful shades of yellows, orange and gold everywhere. Sigh.

For once I am actually excited about all things cozy and signifying winters. Coats and sweaters and boots and scarves and sipping hot tea as it snows outside. Beautiful. I cant wait!

Anya wears: Sweater from Old Navy, Jeans from Osh Kosh, Shoes from Old Soles via MyHabit.

I wear: Shirt (also worn here and here) and Cardigan from Gap, Jeans from Old Navy, Boots by Bear Paw from TJMaxx 

How is fall like in your corner of the world? Are you excited about anything in particular as the days get colder?

Thank you so much for reading and stopping by.

LITTLE STYLE: The beginning of Fall.

Cant believe its Friday already. This week just flew by, mainly because of Eid and we are looking forward to a weekend of some Eid celebrations! Sharing some early fall baby style today. We took these pictures a couple weeks ago on a warmer than usual October afternoon.







Anya wears: Dress from Nordstrom (on sale and worn earlier here too), TShirt from RUUM, Leggings from Gap, Rain Boots from Western Chief, Hair Bow from Claires



Thanks for stopping by.

Be back next week with regular posting. Have a lovely weekend.

The last of the warm days in an outfit post.

Happy Monday morning you guys. Hope your weekend was lovely. We have been getting the first of the winter storms and the winds and the rains on the weekend reminded us that it is time to get ready for the cold weather. These pictures here seem like months ago already, even though they are just from a couple weeks ago. Sigh. Time to brace up for the cold weather. Here is a little outfit share for today.

Anya wears: Top from Zara, Lace Skirt from RUUM, Ballet pumps from Target, Hair Bow from Target.

Mama wears: Top from H&M, Pants from Gap, Pumps from Target

I had my eye on these pants for a while until I saw them on a sale too good to resist and had to buy them. Have to say I’m loving the printed pants trend and hope it stays for a bit. Also Anya’s top and skirt were both purchased online and turned out to be great buys. It is my new favorite way to shop, specially over shopping with a toddler in tow (How do others manage, seriously!). I subscribe to emails from stores I like to shop at and make use of any free shipping promotions.

Hope you have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by.

LITTLE STYLE: Story times at the library.

One of my favorite things about life in the States is the many morning activities available for stay-at-home moms to do with the kids all through out the year and specially during the summer. I especially love taking Anya for the story times at our local library. I started taking her when I returned from Pakistan after my father passed away and in those early months when I didn't feel like meeting many people or doing what I used to do before, I regularly started going to these. Anya was just discovering the world around and she wasn’t even walking when we started going. These became a little distraction and a reason to get out of the house in those early sad and grey months. Now, our trips are not that regular but we still love going to them whenever we can.





Anya wears: Lace Dress from Outfitters Junior, Hair Pin and Boots (seen earlier here) from Old Navy.

Outfitters Junior is a Pakistani kids line that has super adorable baby/kids fashion at affordable prices. Check out their Facebook page here. And if you haven’t shopped there yet, make sure to do on your next visit. Unfortunately,these are only available right now in their outlets in Pakistan. (The yellow coat Anya wore in this post is also from them.)

Also I think dresses look so much better when dressed down with boots! Please tell me you think so too? :)



Thanks for reading. Hope your week is going awesome.
