Style Check: The ‘Anya and her Khalas’ edition

I love dressing up my little girl, and our style is a little eclectic because I love mixing and matching what we have to come up with new outfits. Even when shopping for my little girl, I try to look for classic pieces that can be mixed up with other items in our closet for some unique looks. I also prefer not to dress her from head to toe in any particular style or from any one store, just to give our own little personality to the things we wear.

So well, with five girls in the house (mA), while we were with our family, you can imagine the amount of dressing up and taking pictures, that took place. I thought it would be fun to compile a little post on some ‘Anya and khala fashion’ from our little Pakistan break. Here it is. Hope you enjoy!

Adorable, right? I sure think so and say a silent prayer in my heart when I see Anya with our lovelies! Maybe you noticed Nadiya and Waliya wearing the same outfit in at least one place? We have always shared our clothes with each other and sometimes we exchange our outfits/shoes/accessories when we meet. I quite love it. Makes us feel closer with each other.

Also I think we should have more baby fashion on the blog. What do you say? wink!



Thanks so much for stopping by.

(FYI: Khala is the urdu word for maternal aunt.)

We are back.

We are back home. After soaking up some much needed sunshine, getting loved enough for a lifetime, taking at least a gazillion pictures, polishing our upcoming vocabulary with so many urdu words, hanging day in and out with people we love, shopping for sweet little things and just soaking up life with the family in general, we are back.

It feels good to be back home, to be together again. Even as we get sad about the goodbyes we had to say. If only all the people we love could live close to us, sigh! 

I hope you guys have been awesome and I cant wait to catch up. Have so many exciting things to share. But hope you will give us some time, as this jetlag settles down a bit and we feel more like ourselves.

Be back soon.

Thanks for stopping by!
