Habibti's Style Icon - Diana Ross

Hello, Fashionistas!

I'm back and running on all cylinders!

Lately, I've been a bit nostalgic -

longing for the sparkling disco globes

and reverberating glittery floors of a past era.

Although I did not witness this era firsthand,

memorabilia, libraries, museums,

and not to mention, fashion icons of that time,

have aided me in recreating looks from one of my favorite time periods.
 

Guess I'm just wanting my disco inferno moment...
because I have to dedicate this post to
one of my all-time favorite style icons, Diana Ross.
 

 

(Counter clockwise: Antik Batik Carmea dress, Marc by Marc Jacobs Platform sandals in copper, Johnny Loves Rosie glitter box clutch, NP Set All That Glitters duos in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paolo)

 

 

Voluminous curls, platform glitter sandals, and sequin dresses -

I'm diggin' it!

 

(And again, friends,

budget-friendly versions of inspired outfits can be found everywhere!)

 

Fashion is a cycle -

what's out of style today will be right back in style tomorrow

(with creative tweaks and liberties taken by designers).

So, if you've seen some of these outfits before,

perhaps in your own closet,

don't throw them out because they're not being featured in your favorite magazines.

Wear them whenever you feel like it

and bring a vintage statement back to life ♥.

 

 

Who/what has been inspiring your fashion statements lately?

Personal Update

Happy (extremely) Belated New Year!

How's the year been for you so far?
I've been learning so much,
testing out new products and looks,
as well as being introduced to the world of cosmetics.

Although I've had an interest in the beauty industry for a while now,
now I've begun to experiment with it and enjoy it
as I understand more and more how it is married to fashion.

This year has posed new challenges for me.
It can be daunting to take on something that will require a different skill set.
Or maybe the skills required aren't totally different,
but upgraded versions of what you already possess.
Either way, there's a learning curve
(as there is with almost everything).

In addition to discovering more about the world around me,
I've become a student of learning more about myself -
which has been overwhelming, at times.
To feel somewhat the same as the years pass,
but notice subtle differences which become complete turnarounds
over time has been a part of life is as spectacular
as it is frightening.

It really has caused me to take a step back
and I'm so grateful for those who have stuck by me
all this time.

Family, friends, readers...

I'm humbled by your steadfastness.
I love you completely.

xoxo Habibti
