Partying with a Purpose

April 10, 2016 by Samjah Iman in People, Energy, Style

This past weekend was a busy one, but purposeful.  I got the chance to party with my friends and family for a worthy cause - to bring awareness to Sickle Cell Anemia.  

The Northeast Louisiana Sickle Cell Anemia Foundation (NELA SCAF) held its annual "Evening with Sickle Cell" event on Friday, May 8, 2016 in Monroe, LA.  The reason behind this event was to encourage individuals to educate themselves about this disease that plagues our community and to know their sickle cell status.  My father, brother, nephews, a friend and I all have the sickle cell trait, so I was glad to be able to participate in this meaningful event and give back.       

Check out my coverage of the event below. 

Pictured above is my mother conversing with her colleagues from the University of Louisiana at Monroe.

My brother Brad and his wife Tonya.

My friends and former classmates. 

Above is what I wore to the event.  Black and white are my go-to colors for most events because these colors stand out and look sophisticated.  I had on an Urban Outfitters top and skirt, and my shoes (pictured below) were from Aldo. 

The event was entertaining and lively. I thoroughly enjoyed myself!

Do you KNOW YOUR SICKLE CELL STATUS?!

Green Courage

March 23, 2016 by Samjah Iman in Hats, Style Review

It took some self-encouragement to do this shoot.  I was feeling a little uninspired due to the recent flooding that affected my hometown and caused havoc for my family and friends.  I felt helpless because I wasn't there to lend a helping hand.  Then I came to the conclusion that I needed to revive my positive energy and keep going so that my loved ones could sense my vibes and do the same.  

I found an old Urban Outfitters dress in my closet that I hadn't worn in a while.  I decided to pair it with a worn baseball cap, my Steve Madden combat boots and my Louis V bag.  In this outfit, I'm ready for whatever.  It's comfortable yet still stylish.   

Olive green (or military green) is a color that looks good on anyone.  It's not loud and it's not too subtle.  You can pair this shade of green with just about any other color.   

I love accenting most of my outfits with gold jewelry.  It just seems to stand out so well.
