It's Wednesday! That means it's time for some boho chic inspo.

Chanel's Paris-Bombay Collection Pre-Fall 2012, featuring some gorgeous high-fashion boho chic:

Summer's almost over, so wear your whites now! Last weekend we did the best outdoor thing you can do when it's so hot: go swimming!

But before that, we strolled around Old Town Alexandria. Here I'm wearing a simple blue off-the-shoulder top with white jeans. I wanted a pop of color, so I added some red tie-on chunky heels, and added a colorful ethnic-embroidered clutch I bought when we were in South Asia a few years back. You know how I love mixing chic ethnic-inspired pieces with everyday clothes!

What do you think - do you like the ethnic touch, or would you prefer to see a different style for an unexpected pop of color? Leave your thoughts in the comments section below - I'd love to hear your ideas!

Hello my fashionable lovelies,

This long gown is made from a soft, satiny flowing fabric in a subtle nude blush shade and accented with beautiful matte gold sequins in a sophisticated linear cutout.

I wore this piece to my sister's wedding - you can check out the pics here. 

This dress (any many more to come) are now available for pre-order! You can contact me at sanaa.ansari.khan AT gmail.com with any order inquiries.

It's Wednesday, which means you know what time it is! Time for some designer inspo. 

For your visual pleasure, relish the beautiful ethnically-inspired colorful embroidery of Valentino's beautiful Spring/Summer 2014 Collection:

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!
