#TBT | Outer Banks

December 4, 2014

This week’s #ThrowBackTravel is to Labor Day weekend in 2009 in Corolla, North Carolina in the Outer Banks. My sister, mom, and bestie and I drove down to the Outer Banks to enjoy the last weekend of summer soaking up some sun. We rented a vacation home via Brindly Beach Vacation Rentals for three nights over Labor Day weekend. We stayed at the Selah house in Corolla. The house was incredible! It had way too many bedrooms for our own good, a pool, hot tub, and literally a two minute walk to the beach!

It has been on my bucket list to visit Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, and National WWII Memorial at night time. I have heard from numerous people that visiting these monuments at night is completely different then visiting during the day. All the rumors were true! On Halloween night my bestie twin and I grabbed some tea & chai-cider from Baked & Wired and then headed on to the monuments. I must say I love the monuments at night – more than daytime! I was very excited to go to the Lincoln Memorial because I hadn’t been there in about 12 years. I constantly drive by it but never actually climbed the steps since moving to the DMV area. My bestie twin is also an amazing photographer and she snapped all these amazing images – she puts my camera skills to shame. It was such a lovely walk and I wished I lived closer so that I could go on this walk at least once a week!

Texas | Houston

October 28, 2014

This past weekend I traveled to Houston with my sister and friends for a wedding. It was short weekend trip however we managed to schedule in some great dining experiences! The first night we had dinner at Kasra Persian Grill. Are you surprised? Persian people always go to Persian restaurants when its an option. The food was delicious!

The next morning we had brunch at MKT Bar which is located in Phoenicia Specialty Foods. I legit found this place on Instagram when searching for Halal food in Houston. I have a knack for finding things on Instagram and forcing people to follow me on my adventures. Thankfully this place was legit and the food was delicious! If I lived in Houston I would only eat at MKT Bar. The food was on point! Even the coffee was delicious. We ordered the Knefe Jbneh, Black Pepper Waffle, Hill Country Fried Chicken & Waffles, and Fresh Fruit Waffles. Basically – food coma!

The second day we had brunch at Batanga – thanks to May for the awesome pick! It was a tapas style restaurant which had a delicious brunch menu. We ordered a bunch of things which included Patatas Batanga, Chickpea Puree, Marinated Beet Salad, Chilaquilles, and Vanilla Pancakes. The Vanilla Pancakes were delectable. They just melted in your mouth! The caramelized bananas were to die for.

After brunch we went on a bit of a adventure to find Adickes Sculpturworx Studio in order to see the 35-foot tall statues of The Beatles. From my Internet research there should have been dozens of presidential busts as well – however sadly there was only two headless busts. Therefore we decided it was a great idea to climb the busts and be statues for all of 2 minutes. I thought it was great – my sister was not amused. We called it a day and got some froyo after!

Houston was short – mostly because our priority was the wedding and didn’t plan for sightseeing. However we managed to hit up some delicious food joints and go on a small presidential adventure.

Till next time Texas!

DC Fashion Week | Haute & Modesty Show

September 29, 2014

Last week was DC Fashion Week! On Friday I attended DC Fashion Week Haute and Modesty Show event with my dear friend Ambereen. The show included the collection of Indonesian fashion designer Dian Pelangi. I am legit in love with Dian Pelangi and her entire collection. Her collection reminds me of Alexander McQueen but with an ethnic twist. She is also the sweetest person! So humble and down to earth!

Another designer I totally loved is Eman of Eman Apparel. She is Canadian designer and has the loveliest chic dresses. In addition I got to meet the super stylish Hakeemah Cummings of CMB.

A big thanks to Executive Director of DCFW Ean Williams for bringing modesty to the runway and shinning a light on modest fashion and showing that being modest is fashionable!

California

#TBT | SoCal

September 25, 2014

This weeks #ThrowBackThursday is over to the West Coast – Southern California. We have a ton of family and always make it out to SoCal ever so often. The best part is seeing our family and spending lots of time with them – which leaves little room for sightseeing. Sometimes we manage to convince everyone for an outing and those are always fun! Last time I was in the Los Angeles area I managed to accomplish two things – 1) Sprinkles Cupcakes and 2) The Huntington!

NYC | Day 3

September 24, 2014

My obsession with Ladurée is not a secret. Therefore when I found out they opened up a Ladurée cafe in SoHo – it was on my priority list of places to go in NYC. We went to Ladurée for breakfast on Sunday. There is no camera photography allowed inside – only phones – therefore all these pictures are courtesy of my iPhone (not DSLR quality pics obviously!). The decor of the place was impeccable. I legit felt I was taken to Versailles and was dining in France. I had a cappuccino, chocolate croissant, french toast, and a macaron. It was all delicious!
