Ugh. I hate myself for using the word ‘foxy’ in a post about Megan Fox. :/ It’s cheap and lazy and I’m better than that. But I didn’t want to use ‘sexy’ in a post title. And this IS a foxy look, dammit. :/ WHY IS LIFE HARD. Anyway, you are all aware of my [...]

One of the reasons I dislike weddings: Desi aunties are misogynistic jerks sometimes
Posted in Islam/Culture on May 30, 2011 | 9 Comments »
So my friend Maryam got married this weekend (her younger sister, Sarah, also got married this weekend!). I was at their mehndi, and at Maryam’s wedding (couldn’t stay for Sarah’s), and it was just lovely. Both girls are lovely inside and out, and they looked fabulous, and it was just a really nice wedding. God [...]
Business Casual Superstar #385: Review: Forever21 Nail Polish
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, tagged Makeup and Beauty on May 30, 2011 | 6 Comments »
You guys. I have no excuse for this. I was at Forever21 to stock up on basics (I bought like 5 t-shirts for $3.50 each – SCORE!) and to maybe find a brown belt (but all the S/P belts were way too big for me – even if I tried them on over a sweater [...]

Just a quick little post for today to let you nerds know that my post at the Working Wardrobe is up, so click here or on the picture below to get there. I’m currently in the process of backing up my blog, and in addition to the normal backup files (xml? I think that’s the [...]

Well, the craziness of graduation is finally over, so I can once again start with my daily (weekday) posts here at TRPLS. I should probably change the name soon, as I am no longer a law student, nor am I particularly prudent any longer. Ah, well. Today’s post is inspired by one of the ultimate [...]
Business Casual Superstar #382: Purse Profile: My Red Longchamp Le Pliage

So I was at a dinner party once. A boring, Desi auntie dinner party. I was too old to play with the kids (I don’t really like kids, anyway – they’re sticky and annoying) and I didn’t feel like gushing about Justin Bieber with the host’s tween daughters and their friends, so I sat with [...]
Business Casual Superstar #381: Bringing a Spring Tunic Into the Office
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, tagged General on May 5, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I’m back to posting at the Working Wardrobe after a month-long hiatus from blogging, and I found a cute little tunic at Forever21, and proceeded to age it up a bit. So much of their stuff is so … young. And … kind of trashy/cheap looking. But occasionally you can find things that work … [...]
Zenzele: A Letter For My Daughter

Zenzele: A Letter for My Daughter by J. Nozipo Maraire My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is one of the most beautiful and poignant books I’ve ever read. It was given to me by Ms. Seaton, an English teacher at my high school. I had never had a single class with her, but she [...]

Yes. The girl from the phone commercials. What? I think she’s adorable. Don’t pretend you don’t. She usually wears pink, but I think my favorite outfit of hers was her in this dress that was red and pink and white on the top with a hot pink skirt, and of course, her hot pink heels. [...]
Symbiotic Relationships; Alternatively Titled, I just wanted to draw an elephant
Posted in Comics on May 3, 2011 | 1 Comment »
I was thinking about the best way to illustrate my friendship with one Andy [Redacted]. Also, I really wanted to draw an elephant. And maybe a weird-ass bird of some sort. Animals not drawn to scale. No animals were harmed in the making of this cartoon, but I did wipe my nose with a squirrel. [...]
