Capsule Wardrobe 101

You know that meme that says everybody has a chair in their room that all their clothes get thrown onto? That's basically my whole bedroom, the other day I was looking around and I felt so overwhelmed with the amount of clothing piled on top of each other. I honestly feel like a cluttered house [...]

Make A Statement This Season

Coming from a Middle Eastern background, I've always been drawn to rich, chunky jewelry. There is something to be said about a good statement piece that can pull an outfit together yet still stand out on its own. I feel like all the most classic ensambles in history were remembered not because of the style, colour [...]

Spring/Summer Look Book part 2

Every summer I start channeling my inner flower child, all my outfits get a little more flowy, earthy and boho-esq.  The last look book I put together was filled with florals and featured an ultra-femme vibe, one that definitely screams spring but isn't a look that really screams "Layan". For this look book, I went [...]

Spring/Summer Look Book

well helllllloooo Spring!!! It's nice to see you've finally arrived. Ok well not really, but a girl can dream right? It's already March first so it's safe to say winter is on its way out! A couple of weeks ago, I got together with my friend Rachel of Lively Creative Co to put together a mini Spring [...]

Statement Pieces for a Casual Holiday Look

I can hardly believe that the holidays have come so quickly. Maybe it's the warm weather, but I feel like we should be getting ready to celebrate Halloween rather than Christmas. One way that I like to get into the holiday spirit is by dressing the part. Sweaters, sparkles and of course, accessories are really the [...]

Holiday Sparkles for Day and Night

Tomorrow is officially the first day of December so I think we're finally allowed to start talking about the holidays and most importantly - holiday outfits. Anyone who knows me knows I love anything that sparkles, my theory is that you can never have too much glitter in your life. One of the reasons why [...]

4 Ways to Wear Animal Prints

I've never really been a big fan of animal print clothing, I've never been the kind of person that could really pull it off anyways - Patterns in general don't necessarily make an appearance in my closet so when I was gifted a leopard print scarf last Christmas, I took it as a sign to [...]

Four Different Ways to Wear Ankle Boots (Booties)

Confession time, I've been rocking the same winter boots for the past four years. I initially found them at the end of the season back in 2011 (holy smokes time flies) and fell in love with them at first sight. They're thigh high camel coloured riding flats lined with faux fur, perfect for the cold, [...]

Fall Fashion Predictions

I'm so excited for fall...so excited like, Jessie Spano excited (side note, I talked to a high schooler the other day that had no idea what Saved by the Bell was and it made me really, really sad. I turned to a friend of mine and said "it makes me really sad that kids don't [...]

OOTD

I feel like todays OOTD looked better in person than when photographed (I took like 10 different pictures in different poses and locations before I got one that I thought was decent). Regardless, I loved this outfit for a casual Sunday afternoon. I got the pants yesterday from H&M for only (get this) $10!!. I'm [...]
