Every week we feature a sustainable brand on our blog. This week's featured brand is Nudie Jeans.

While Nudie Jeans technically doesn't make clothing for women, I'd argue that the apparel industry has become increasingly androgynous. Just last week, Jaden Smith (son of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith) was featured in a new ad for Louis Vuitton modelling a skirt. 

I've already documented my crush with the brand Dolce & Gabbana on the blog before and they've given me yet another reason to love them even more. Last week, they launched their first abaya collection on Style Arabia. While some might consider this move controversial due to the current anti-Muslim sentiment in many parts of the world, it is a savvy business move for the brand.

Another day, another cape. What I love about this one is that I can keep my arms warmly ensconced in within the depths of the cape with my hands slipped in the hidden internal pockets. Like many women, I've had my moments when it comes to sacrificing comfort for style but when it gets cold out, the pendulum tends to swing in favor of comfort.

Every week we feature a sustainable brand on our blog. This week's featured brand is Loomstate.

What began in 2004 as a pioneering design house specializing in 100% certified organic cotton apparel is now shifting to a new challenge, creating a garment that truly benefits the entire supply chain.

Not everyone believes in the effectiveness of new year resolutions but for me, they've worked well. I don't think that it's because of the clean slate of a new year, rather once I resolve to do something I usually follow through. When it comes to my fashion choices, I've continued to evolve over the years, becoming much more confident in what I'm willing to wear as well as more crisp with regard to my look.

I call this coat my technicolor dreamcoat, named after the legendary Andrew Lloyd Weber musical 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat' which is in turn based on the coat of many colors story of Joseph from the bible. If there's one story that stands out for me from the bible, it's the story of Joseph and how he was able to overcome all the challenges in his life with grace.

It's amazing how quickly time flies by. I can't believe it's already time to welcome another new year but it's also a time to look forward to all the great things to come. 2015 had it's share of successes chief among them the launch of Dalasini, a dream I've had for many years that I was finally able to bring to fruition.

"Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" remarked Kate Moss at the height of her career and it doesn't seem like much has changed in the fashion industry since then. Extremely slim, some might even say skeletal, women have long been romanticized in the west, largely thanks to the fashion industry that has saturated the media with images of rail thin women.

Finding clothes that fit our natural curves is not always easy and it's the same when it comes to boots. If you have anything other than 'average' size calves, you'll have a devil of a time finding knee high and over the knee boots that flatter what your mama gave you. So you can imagine how overjoyed I was when I came across these boots during a trip to New York several years ago.

It's that time of the year again when we give thanks for everything that has come before and everything that is yet to come. I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season and I look forward to what the new year brings.

Ever since Joan Rivers tragically passed away on September 4, 2014, the fate of her highly rated show on E 'Fashion Police', has hung in the balance. Like many other 'Joan Rangers' I tuned in to watch Joan's unique brand of humor, relishing how she would tear apart the top names in the business without fear of the consequences all in the name of a good laugh.

Even though I love bright colors, sometimes I'm in the mood to be a little bit more subdued. I decided to go for earth tones with this look spiced up with a dash of navy. This cape is super cozy and just the ticket when it's a little bit cooler but not too cold. I paired it with a matching tissue thin t-shirt, some leggings (love the zipper up the back) and these to die for rich chocolate suede boots.
