    Happy Monday from Kurdistan! I’m so sad to say that today is my last day here before heading back to the states tomorrow. I’ll be sharing the remainder of my outfits I wore here throughout the week as well as a full trip recap/travel diary next week! Can’t wait to reflect back and share my experience!!

    This outfit you see I wore casually over the weekend. For some reason, when I spot colors that I like, I find a way to combine them together to make an outfit pop that much more. These mirrored sunnies compliment my colored skinnies and vice versa (or at least I’d like to think so!) #colorobsazzed

    It’s a bittersweet feeling leaving this place (it has been so relaxing!) and with only a month of summer left, I wish time would slow down a little! ha Nonetheless, I’m ready to get back to ‘reality’ because I have some exciting stuff coming up! To update you (I feel like I need to since I haven’t been posting regularly!) – I just found out today that I will be going to the EMMY AWARDS (ahhhh!!!) which I’m SO thrilled about! Need to find a dress ASAP. Also, Beauty Con and a quick trip to Vegas are on my August agenda so get ready to come along for the ride. I’m also in the midst of prepping for New York Fashion Week in September which can be stress-city. I have some exciting collaborations cooking up that I think you will enjoy. I love being able to take you along + share these experiences with you. It’s really cool seeing the different responses I get when I travel to different places! Stay tuned for updates my loves.

    Have a great rest of your day + stylish week!

    P.S Happy Eid today to those of you who celebrate! <3

    Hey friends! Today I’m sharing an exotic eyes tutorial that I created for you on my Youtube channel! Since being here in Kurdistan, I have been so inspired by all of the beautiful things around me – from the nature to the yummy food and pretty women of all shapes and sizes. One thing I’ve noticed is the women out here loveeee their bold eye makeup! I’m not one to rock this look everyday but it’s definitely one that I don’t mind playing with. Some of you may hate me when I say the ‘K’ word, but I feel like the Kardashians really took this Middle Eastern inspired trend and made it globally glamorous. I decided to jump on the trend-wagon and create my version of this hot smokey eye that hopefully you’ll give a try. If any of you ladies are really in the mood to spice things up, you can also try this look with colorful eye-liner shades like green or blue. Totally exotic meets summer. I hope you enjoy the video! Would love if you could subscribe to my Youtube for more upcoming videos! Happy watching!

    Finally. A printed jumpsuit that fits my tiny 5’2” frame. I recently spotted this at Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale and the color and print instantly caught my eye. I don’t have many jumpsuits because I can never find a style that fits right. Does anyone else have that problem? However, I love love love them so much that I’m always hoping and praying it fits when I try one on in the fitting room. I totally hit the jackpot with this one and the fact that it was on sale for a limited time, I mean come on! I couldn’t pass up. You can honestly dress this cool summer jumpsuit casually or fancy like I did. I decided to add a sparkly belt to give it a glamorous touch and pretty orange earrings.

    Today I’m celebrating the launch of Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale with you which is so major you don’t want to brush this sale off your shoulders! For those who aren’t familiar, Nordstrom does this AMAZING annual sale where tons of their brands release their fall collections at hugely discounted prices. Basically you can get next season’s hottest trends at such an affordable cost. The sad part? It’s for a limited time only. #poop!

    Although I’m in Kurdistan, I was lucky enough to grab some goodies from their sale before I left (thank you Nordstrom!). I bought tons of stuff so I decided to create 2 outfit series to show you what I bought! This is the first one. I love mixing denim with practically anything and everything. It’s such a timeless print. You can never go wrong with having a denim button-up (or two!) in your closet. I paired mine with this glamorous sequin skirt that I can instantly see myself styling a million times over for various occasions. I just had to have it! I think my favorite thing about this outfit though are the shoes. Can I get an OMG heart in the eyes Emoji!?!? They’re Steve Madden and my eyes were instantly drawn to the pretty cobalt blue and straps! With the sale going on these are currently marked down to $89! Get them while they’re hot, ladies!

    Stay tuned for my second outfit from the #NSALE!

    I can’t believe tomorrow will mark one week that I’ve been here in the Middle East! I  got to explore Kurdistan more over the past few days and I’m enjoying the beauty and soaking up as much of it as I can! I hope you all are joining me on the adventure at #sazantravels on my Instagram (@sazanbarzani).

    I am trying to keep as cool as possible (while still wearing appropriate attire) so I decided to rock all white for a chill day out and about at the Hawler street market and cute shops. A crisp white button-up was all I needed to keep me calm and cool in this 100 degree+ desert.  It’s another really great what I like to call, ‘re-piece,’ a piece you can repeat over and over. (similar option here).  Since I was channeling a chic look, I kept my hair in a high pony tail and wore black accessories with a pop of leopard to stand out. #SoSazan

    Hawler/Erbil is such a beautiful place that I’m glad I got to experience. There was literally so much history around me that I can’t help but be mesmerized by the beauty of the moment. It was great  getting to see the ancient citadel in the city which has been around since B.C!  It literally gave me chills looking at it. Shopping in Hawler was also great (I’m going back soon for more!) – It reminded me of that scene in Sex and The City 2 when Carrie was shopping around in the Souk! I found the cutest handmade bag (see it below) which is super colorful and middle-easterny.

    Hope you’re having a fantastic week!  I can’t wait to share more from here in Kurdistan!
