Tassel earrings in bold and bright colours were all the rage in spring/summer and this trend is carrying forward into fall. To update the look for the new season, play around with jewel tones to add richness. If you’re new to the tassel trend don’t fret, fall is a great time to try out this boho trend whether with a fringe purse or these super fun tassel earrings. Today I’m sharing how to make your own […]
With summer coming to an end (thanks to the chill in the air) don’t think the fun’s over. Fall in Toronto brings beautiful scenery and some awesome Canadian shows like Inland. I had the opportunity to attend the previous show in May. It housed over 65 Canadian designers where more than 95% of the collections on display were handmade or manufactured in Canada. What a way to support local talent! I’m invested in purchasing local […]
Time flies – I’m already a month into launching this blog (yay!) and Eid ul Azha just ended too. What is Eid ul Azha? It is quite literally “the feast of the sacrifice.” What you mostly hear about is the sacrifice of animals, but it’s more than that. The religious significance is summed up with how much we are willing to give up for God. In reference, Prophet Ibrahim, upon the wishes of God, sacrificed […]
With Eid coming up I thought what better gift than to create a DIY bracelet. It’s thoughtful and customized for the person you’re making it for. I had most of the supplies from previous projects but wanted some coloured beads for contrast. I came across some beautiful turquoise beads at a local craft market. When creating a bracelet or any jewellery piece I’m usually inspired by what I see in shops or online. I recently […]
I love coming home with something special from my travels. So when Zee and I headed for a short trip to Prince Edward Island, I couldn’t resist picking up some baubles. When you’re visiting a new place it’s best to experience the culture, the food and get a chance to mingle with the locals. Which is why Victoria by the Sea was one of my favourite places on the island. The town was picturesque in […]
Canada is a country made up of genuinely nice people. They have a reputation for being warm, kind, open hearted and welcoming. Every day I’m reminded that I live in a beautiful country that thrives on multiculturalism and diversity. At the same time, it’s disheartening to hear that across the globe racial tensions still exist. In Canada, I am accepted and welcomed with open arms. On a recent trip to the east coast of […]
At Nordstrom Eaton Centre’s latest pop-up store “Get Wired” there are a bunch of tech baubles every girl wishes she had. Apart from some really weird gadgets, there are a few that sparked my interest and here they go in no particular order: 1. Philo Phone Covers These are definitely eye catching to say the least! On closer inspection, they live up to their trendy name. Philo is about fusing fashion and tech to […]
First of all, thanks for stopping by. I want to welcome you and let you know how much I appreciate your time. Let’s dive in – if you’ve already visited the “Meet Mariam” page or are coming from another website, you may already know that my name is Mariam Jangda. Having done a little recon (because in today’s day and age who doesn’t – imma right?) you probably know that I love accessories and how they […]
Pink was once known as a total Barbie colour (think Elle Woods from Legally Blonde) but is now making waves in 2017. It’s no longer a colour just for girly-girls but women and men are seen sporting it in every shade from peach and magenta to fuchsia and rose. Whether it’s head to toe, colour-blocked or simply a pop of colour – I love it all! Pink what you may not know is very versatile. […]
I don’t consider myself as someone who is overly active. However, when I go to the gym or take walks around the city, I like to listen to music on Bluetooth headphones. Now that’s probably really odd when you’re not engaging in heart-pumping workouts but trust me I’ve got my reasons. What I find with standard headphones is that they keep falling out of my ears. I’ve tried different ear pieces but nothing stays put. […]
