Mariam Issa-Fashions fade, style is eternal

ABOUT ME

My name is Mariam, but everyone calls me Mimo. Check out my Instagram @MimoKitty Come say hi =) To me, fashion is not about price tags or brand names. Fashion is about personal style, taking risks and feeling completely confident in what you are wearing.

"It’s a new era in fashion - there are no rules. It’s all about the individual and personal style, wearing high-end, low-end, classic labels, and up-and-coming designers all together."- Alexander McQueen

Winter Came Early This Year

New York City has bipolar weather and those who live here would totally agree with me. However, that just makes this city more fun to live in because there is always something new and exciting happening. One day would be raining, the other day sunny and another day snowing. When I woke up this morning, I looked outside my window and everything was covered in snow but everything began to melt by the afternoon. I felt like I waited a whole year just to wear my panda winter hat again LOL. Isn't it adorable? I think so =D

Panda Winter Hat: Claire's (old) here
Black Shawl Collar Jacket: Forever 21 (old) Here
Polka Dots Panty Hose: H&M (old) Here
Furry Cream Colored Vest: H&M Here

These are some new drugstore makeup products I wanted to give it a try

* New Maybelline Dream Nude Air foam SPF 16 Sunscreen-150 Classic Ivory
* FIT me Maybelline 120 Foundation SPF 18-Classic Ivory
* Vaseline Lip Therapy
* Maybelline Dream Matte Powder-Medium 0-1
* Loreal Paris Studio Secrets
* Maybelline Concealer-15 Fair Clair
* Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush-20 Peach Satin
* Maybelline The Mega Plush Volum' Express Mascara
* Revlon Lip Butter-065 Creamsicle
* Wet n Wild Lipstick-970 Purty Persimmon/Reflet orange´
* Rimmel London Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Liner Pencil-035 Green Shimmer
* Physicians Formula Eye Liner Pencil-Black

so far the Maybelline Nude Air foam is my newest obsession. It feels so light and natural on my skin and I would definitively purchase it again. Another product I really liked was the Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush-20 Peach Satin it feels so soft and it also gives a natural flushed look (I didn't wear a lot) I've always LOVED Maybelline mascaras!! after trying out so many different drugstore mascara brands I've realized how much the Maybelline brand mascara works best for me. Vaseline Lip Therapy it should always be a MUST in your everyday makeup bag because it protects dry, chapped lips and it provides long lasting moisturization. The Maybelline Dream Matte Powder works really well with me no complaints! I love the Rimmel Londol Eye Liner Pecil in Green but mostly because its shimmer.

Hurricane Sandy Red Cross Donation

My thoughts and prayers are with all the victims of this tragedy. Thousands of people have been affected by hurricane Sandy and they need your help right now!! Please consider making a donation to the Red Cross to help people fix all the devastating damage that hurricane Sandy has caused! Even though I'm in NYC, around my area was mostly affected by fallen trees and the loss of power. In my best friend's case, it's a pretty depressing situation because she almost lost everything and where she lives was an extremely affected area! I really hope everyone who is going through this rough time finds comfort very soon! IF YOU CAN, PLEASE DONATE TO THE RED CROSS.

These are some photos I took the day after the hurricane. It's ONLY around my area!!

Bunny Fever

Happy Friday Everyone!! Have I ever mentioned my obsession for bunnies? I have always loved bunnies since I was a little girl. I've had lots of them as pets and last time I owned one, was around 2 years ago. Her name was Juicy =( I just can't wait to buy or adopt one again!! They are the cutest little creatures ever!! Well yes!!! Clearly, you can see that half of my outfit it's based on a bunny accessory such as my pink bunny ears & tail iphone case, cute cream & black bunny sweater and adorable gold rhinestones bunny earrings. How cute is this icon I just managed to make it look like a bunny? LOL I hope you like my furry look hehe X.O.X.O ()_()
