When I was a kid and my mum would hand me the toy sale catalogue and me and my sisters would circle in different coloured pens what items we wanted. We would hope our mum would see it for our birthdays or Eid but ultimately it was the bonding time and fantasising of the products we mostly enjoyed. Now this looks like online shopping at 2am when you can’t sleep and not checking out because you decide to sleep on it and then thinking about the pieces 24/7 until you own them. I personally love seeing people’s ‘what’s in my cart’ lists because I take inspiration from them and love to see what’s on their mind.
It’s officially September so surprise to Americans but Australia is now in spring and soon to be in Summer and I’ve been looking for some piecing to style for my favourite season. I’ve also been excited to host people at my house so decor has been a priority too. Heres what inside my head:
Jeffrey Campbell primrose heels
These are the perfect summer heel. With a summer dress or even jeans and a plain long sleeve, they do all the work. NEED.
Studio Sogni signature coffee cup
This cutesy ceramic cup would look so so cute in my kitchen and for my everyday coffees of course. It’s a small business so waiting for a restock!
CinCin ‘Malibu’ Kaftan
I love a good poolside outfit and this is so perfect. I can see myself already wearing this as a coverup or to dinner at a resort on my imaginary holiday.
Vela scarves ‘Leopard’
I love a printed scarf for summer but also anything leopard print as it’s a statement in itself. Can’t wait for the restock!
Vintage picnic basket
Imagine rocking up to the function with this cutesy vintage picnic basket, exactly. I want to take this to the grocery store and pretend i’m from a small romantiscised town and not western Sydney.
Summer Evenings ‘copper’ asymmetrical dress
This with gold heels, chunky gold jewellery, glowy makeup and a tan. sign me up.
Simi Haze Beauty hydra melt
Tbh I want most things from this brand and we don’t have it in Australia :( This looks perfect for no-makeup makeup looks.
Olive Levantea olive charm necklace
Everything this brand does is perfect and a great hybrid of girly accessories with meaning. A Palestinian owned brand that should be on your radar.
Sandy Liang Naru skirt
I love a bubble skirt and this is stunning. White skirts in summer are the best and this is below ankle length which I find is a bit difficult to find for modesty reasons.
Our Place perfect pot
I’m a big fan of the our place perfect pan so really want to try the pot for soups and stews etc! I love chic cooking wear.
Trashy Clothing tourist syndrome shirt
Another Palestinian owned brand I stalk often. I love this t-shirt so much. Free Palestine!!
I love that Summer Evenings dress! Never heard of them but their website has super cute tops too. The problem is that everything sells out so quick...was trying to get my mom the watercolor Vela hijab but it was gone instantly.
