Hijabi Obsession: Pastels

20130202-155246.jpg

So today is my birthday! And while it is never quite the same as when you are younger, this birthday was more special than most. I got to spend it with my closest friends and family.

One great thing about blogging is that it seems that your friends will read your blog and its like a window into your head. The reason I say this is because based on my recent obsession with candy colored beauty products, my friends all came to visit me bearing pastel gifts!

So today, I am rocking a lot of mint, aqua, and sorbet cream. And I feel as happy as the 80’s kid I used to be wearing my pastel Izod polo (which I used to pair with my black blazer with shoulders pads!).

I hope you have an amazing weekend and stay tuned for more posts soon iA!

I am lucky enough to live in the Bay area of California, so our winters are pretty mild. That being said, I am tired of chilly weather and I want spring to come! One ways I have been battling the winter blahs is by trying to infuse candy colored pastels in to my wardrobe mix. Try rocking mint green jeans with your sweater or a nice cotton candy pink hijab with your neutrals. Another great way to welcome spring a little early is by rocking some amazing new candy colored makeup trends.

I personally love rocking different nail polish colors. I have rocked anything from greige (gray/beige) to black. Right now, you can find periwinkle gracing my toes and cantaloupe on my finger tips. You can even try pastel eyeliner! Try placing some on top of basic black for eyes that really pop. I guarantee it will make your day just a little brighter.
