I'm inspired by all different global styles, and love incorporating ethnic pieces into my everyday outfits. I have a lot of South Asian and Pakistani clothes in my closet because of my personal cultural heritage.
The pieces are so beautiful, but I can usually only wear them on special cultural occasions. So I've set out to make them wearable in any outfit, any occasion.
That's where the "Repurposing Ethnic Pieces" series comes in. You can check out previous posts in this series (Parts 1, 2, and 3) here, here and here.
Here, I take a traditional Pakistani lehenga choli and wear the choli as a short embellished vest over an everyday black shift dress.
I'd love to hear your thoughts and comments below! What do you think about repurposing ethnic pieces for a more versatile, everyday look? Would you try it out?

Hi guys!
I hope you're having a great summer and that you were able to take some time to yourselves to decompress, relax, and just take a deep breath.
We took a short trip to Puerto Rico last week before getting back to the grind - and it was more amazing than I had expected! We visited two different parts of the island - Fajardo and Bahia Beach, and took a day trip to Palomino Island which was out of this world. White sand and crystal-clear still water. I love that feeling of swimming in fresh salty water (and not having to worry about chlorine turning my hair green, haha).

I'm working on a wedding dress for a client right now, and wanted to share with you all a sneek peak... stay tuned for full photos, coming soon!

Hello lovely readers,
I am back with tons more outfit posts coming up! I had to take a bit of a break after the birth of my son earlier this year, but I have lots of new ideas I can't wait to share with all of you!
In the meantime, you can follow me on Instagram @sanaaansarikhan, where I post more daily outfit pics.
This summer has been a SCORCHER. I try not to leave the house without adequate sun protection (a hat is absolutely necessary in this 100 degree heat).
After baby #2 was born, I need both my hands free more than ever when we are all out together. I can't be struggling trying to find things in a big purse all the time, so I picked up this crossbody camera bag, and I carry it everywhere with me on the weekends now. It's not very big, but just big enough to carry the essentials: wallet, sunglasses, and keys.
It's been really convenient!
I'm also loving that mules have come back from the 90s to join is in the 2010s... they're so convenient to slide on and off, and I am really over flip-flops.

Hi lovely readers!
I know it's been a while since I last posted, and I apologize for the inconsistency. With kids and work, it's been a handful - I know a lot of you can relate! I've also been thinking about the blog model lately, and how blogs have changed since I started, and how I've changed since I started blogging. I plan on implementing some changes, so be on the lookout!
This post is about my love of cheap beauty finds. I was browsing the CVS makeup aisle (like I usually do) to see what's new, and came across this absolute miracle of an eyeshadow/liner.
It goes on so smooth - and most importantly, it's a deep matte texture, so it's perfect for creating smokey eye looks. Another plus: it hasn't dried out on me yet like other gel liners.
If you have to buy one eyeliner/eyeshadow, make it this one. You can use a flat tipped brush to create a precision line, or if you're in a rush in the mornings (like I usually am), you can stick your finger in the pot and dab it around your eyes for a soft shadowy liner or rub it on your lids as a shadow.
Best yet, in comes in 5 very wearable, neutral shades. You can purchase it via Amazon here.
Be back with more style posts soon!

It's so hard to dress cute when it's freezing outside! I was catching up with some friends this weekend, and had to ransack my closet for something to wear that was stylish but comfortable and warm. So I grabbed this embroidered coat from my line, Haute Heritage, belted it at the waist, and paired it with a neon yellow sweatshirt and some sleek leather leggings and finished the look with chic pointy toed heels.
What are your tricks for dressing cute and warm in winter?
