Nadya Hasan: Model Inspiration

Nadya Hasan: Model Inspiration by kristenalyce

So Polyvore had a contest where we were to create a set inspired by a model whose style we love the most. I don't have a model whose style I love the most; however, the first person who came to mind was Nadya Hasan. Nadya is a 22 year old fashion blogger from the United Arab Emirates and I must say, I am absolutely obsessed with her blog!

I visit her site daily, or should I say SITES daily to ooh and aah over what impossibly stylish look she is showcasing at the moment. The outfit shown above is actually one of my favorite looks by her. She is rocking this FABULOUS Kenzo dress with a waist belt from H&M and Alexander McQueen heels. Fabulous.

Another fave is this look where she is rocking a paisley dress from Topshop and a pair of beautiful Christian Louboutin heels:

The girl can wear a dress! With her slim frame, she also looks amazing in pencil skirts, which I'm sure she owns by the hundreds. I think she looks so sophisticated in sexy in the photo below, where she is wearing an Yves Saint Laurent t-shirt with a leather skirt from Zara:

You gotta get a closer look at the accessories she's rocking! Amazing! Click here.

I'm also in love with how she's totally glammed up a simple tank top from Forever 21 with this amazing bib necklace and soft flowy maxi skirt:

And she isn't always glitz and glam. She's equally as stylish when hanging out in a pair of comfy jeans as well!

I am in love with this biker boots from Zara! More pics of Nadya here!

She is the reason I am adding more skinny jeans to my wardrobe! Outfit details here.

Nadya has also been featured in major publications such as Vogue Australia, several online fashion highlights, and local magazines such as Khaleej Times. Not bad for a recent grad!

 

And don't even get me started on her shoes...the girl's shoe game is something serious!! She's just awesome! Let me wind it down because I could seriously go on and on about this chick but I want you to go and check her out for yourself! 

You can Like her on Facebook @ The Fierce Diaries, follow her on Instagram @Thefierce_nay and she also has a Tumblr. For full outfit posts, however, check out her main blog The Fierce Diaries...I live on that page. Nadya is my style hero!

Until next time, stay stylish, stay inspired!

Love,

Fashion Journal Entry #10: "Paisley Princess"

Fashion Journal Entry #10: "Paisley Princess" by kristenalyce

In lieu of my posting actual outfit posts, I am turning to Polyvore where I can fantasize about things I would LIKE to wear one day! This set was inspired by the last fashion look I posted back in July: the pretty $3.00 paisley dress I bought from Hall's Thrift and Jewelry. Because Fall is steadily approaching, I decided to add an Autumn and Winter variation of this look, keeping with the theme of the high neckline on the dress and peep-toe stilettos in pop colors. Also, because I am the queen of layering, I offered options on ways to top these looks to make them more casual and funky!

Hope you like! :)

Love,

Polyvore Contest: "How do you wear your Brahmin?"

Polyvore Contest: "How do you wear your Brahmin?" by kristenalyce

I haven't created a set or even posted on my blog in a couple of months, so to get back into the swing of things, I entered the latest Polyore contest, where the prize is a trip to the Brahmin design factory and the honor of having a Brahmin bag named after you! Hmmmm, "The Kristen". Has a nice ring to it don't you think? :) 

Still, whether I win or not, it feels good to create again! :) And I have been in the process of changing jobs and finding an apartment so I haven't really had an occasion to dress up in a while but hopefully, I will have some great Autumn posts coming up for you soon!

Until then, keep it classy!

Love, 

K.
