STYLEZ: SPRING FASHION

The wait for spring seems to have been a daunting one.  But this past week has proven that Spring has officially sprung and damn does it feel good to see that sun.  I always love the transition from fall/winter to spring/summer, but who doesn't right?  More warmth, more outdoor time and the cute AF clothing that comes with it.  I started taking out some of that spring/summer wear this past weekend, as well as got some peeks to some super cute SS18 lines coming out.  So Mama's....time to get your online shopping carts filled, I'm sharing some of our favorite Spring fashion below.

SHOP LOCAL: HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE

SHOP LOCAL: HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE

The holiday season is upon us and I couldn't be more excited.  For me, this time about family and oooing and ahhhing over all the beautiful Christmas sparkle and decor.

When it comes to gift giving, my family hasn't always observed this traditoin, though over the last few years, we've incorporated it into our morning.  We typically set limits and its a fun activity and way to show appreciation for each other as we don't do gifts any other time of the year.

Some find it tough to buy gifts for babies, toddlers and even mama's not knowing where to start. So I'm rounding up my favorite items from some of my favorite local shops.  I love supporting local shops and seeing the passion and love that goes into the products/services they have to offer, and the best part, you can beat the mall rushes and shop online!!!

I honestly thought I would never be able to cut back on shopping for my closet...little man Q changed that.  No, I didn't have a huge epiphany that I needed to start saving money and prepare for his education (we do save for his education as well :) ).  My shopping just shifted to buying the cutest, trendiest and most unique threads for Qaayam.  

When we learned we were having a boy, I was over the moon with excitement.  I always dreamed of having a little dude by my side.  Then I started looking at baby boy clothes and I couldn't resist but wanting and needing everything for him.  I had to maintain control of course (we live in a nasty expensive city), but I still wanted to enjoy those first time mama moments.
