A Case for Mara

Actress Rooney Mara was recently announced by Apple to play the famous Old Hollywood actress Audrey Hepburn in their biopic of the actress's life.

2021 Fashion Gift List

Will this year finally be the year I do some concrete shopping? Maybe not...but a girl can dream. Spending better part of last year browsing on the internet and adding things to my cart with no intention of purchasing them, as well as growing my Instagram presence, I curated a vast list of things I [...]

#AleezéCurates: Fall 2020

I know this year isn't going as we all hoped, and fashion seems like the least of our worries. But if a worldwide pandemic has taught me anything, it's that a distraction is welcomed, and pastimes such as watching Netflix, listening to Harry Styles, and scrolling through fashion blogs can bring great comfort.

Tried and Tested – Pakistani Skincare

Back in my day (also known as O Levels), Pakistani skincare was pretty much non existent. We poor, helpless, acne prone teenage girls relied heavily on totkays, Al-Fatah imports, and the occasional Tibet Snow ala spot treatment.

Just TEN Films From The 1940s

This was a hard list to make. The 40s are my absolute favorite decade in film, and there was no way I could only list five (like our previous post; Quarantined? I Gotchu – Here Are My Five Favourite Films From The 1930s). So, with great deliberation aided with the process of elimination, I present [...]

A Curious Case of School Spirit.

Ah yes. The dreaded Harvard sweatshirt. Seen in multiple movies, countless retailers, and cities beyond the United States. Walking around in Downtown Toronto, I spot a student in Ryerson's (not Harvard's), library sporting one and piles of similar ones at HM for as low as $14.99. What is it about this sweatshirt that is so [...]

What is it with #FrenchGirlStyle?

French Girl Style, French Girl Vibe, French Chic - instagram is flooded with it. Hashtags, bloggers, and accounts dedicated to pictures of women dressed in Levi's 501s, carrying straw baskets, wearing gold hoops and eating some sort of flaky baked good. Jane Birkin and Brigette Bardon are imbedded in the DNA of this Look (with [...]
