Hey luvs, we are Mahe and Raahema. We are two cousins who, despite the geographic distance that divides us, share the same love for fashion. Between living in the Garden state, NJ and the Keystone state, PA, we come across many different people with many unique styles. We are Pakistani-Americans and while we straddle two very different cultures, we find a good balance between the two. Our sense of style is influenced by our religious background as well as our culture. We will fill you in on all the things we are loving this season.xoxo.

Miranda Kerr: Look For Less!

Hey Luvs! It's Raahema here with a "Look For Less!" Today I am going to be recreating supermodel Miranda Kerr's everyday style! Enjoy!


Miranda Kerr Look For Less


Miranda Kerr has an amazing style and was recently seen wearing a casual outfit while out with her son Flinn. Now, although Miranda's outfit is probably extremely expensive, you can easily get this look for a lot less! The first item I found was this light gray tank top from Forever21. This tank is very similar to Miranda's and retails for only $7.80. I paired the tank with a leopard print skirt, also from Forever21. This skirt is almost identical to Miranda's and is only $19.80. For shoes, I added a pair of black combat boots, $42.50, from Charlotte Russe. As for accessories, Miranda kept it pretty simple with just a tan fedora and some black sunglasses. I found this very similar fedora from Forever21 for just $10.90.
 
I hope you enjoyed my "Look for Less!" Leave any post suggestions in the comments below!

What's In My Beach/Pool bag???!!

Hey Luvs! It's Raahema here showing you what's in my beach bag! Now, living in Pennsylvania, I don't hve any beaches very closeby, but this is what I would take to the beah when I'm visiting Mahe in New Jersey or when I'm at the pool!
 
Item 1: Beach Bag!! Duh!
My beach/pool bag is this pink sequined one from Victoria's Secret. I got it during a Black Friday special but I think you can find it online!
 
Item 2: Bathing Suit!
 
A cute swimsuit is deinitely a must-have for going to the beach or pool! With a huge variety of styles, colors, and patterns, how can anyone resist?
 
Item 3: Sunscreen
I always make sure to keep a good suncreen in my beach bag like this Neutrogena one with spf 70.
 
Item 4: Towels
Towels are a neccessity for when I get out of the water or if im lying in the sun!
 
Item 5: Lip Balm!





I always keep a good lip balm and moisturizer in my beach bag. Recently, I've been using babylips.

Item 6: Moisturizer
Having a good moisturizer is an absolute neccesity for me when I'm at the beach or pool.
 
Item 7: Sunglasses!!
The last and most important thing that I carry with me to the beach or pool is a pair of sunglassess!

My Skincare/Foundation Routine!!

Hey Luvs! It's Raahema here and today I am posting my skincare/foundation routine! Now, keep in mind, I don't wear foundation everyday, but this is my routine for when I do! Enjoy!
 
Step 1: Cleanse
So, the first thing I do after brushing my teeth in the morning is cleanse my face with the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. This is a gentle cleanser that is good for all skin types which is perfect for my combination skin.
 
Step 2: Moisturize
The second part of my skincare routine is to moisturize my skin. Recently, I have been using the Vaseline lotions, specifically the "total moisture" one.
 
Step 3: Foundation
The foundation that I've recently come across is the "Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation." To apply this makeup, I usually use my fingers to gently rub it into my skin.
 
Step 4: Powder
Because the Covergirl foundation is 3-in-1 (primer, foundation, concealer), I usually skip concealer and go straight to the powder. To set my foundation, I have been using the Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder. To apply this I just use an Elf face brush, and evenly distribute the powder over my face.
 
That is my entire skincare and foundation routine! To remove my makeup a night I use the Almay eye makeup remover and the Cetaphil cleanser I mentioned above. I hope you guys enjoyed this post and leave any questions or comments down below!
