Objects

• Custom Navi Denim Jeans: Long bell-bottom jeans that have a slit at the bottom, with spray painted hands and sparkles all over. These pants were from my mothers in high school, I found them in our storage unit not too long after she passed, and I wish she would’ve shown them to me before because these pants are a gorgeous piece. 
• Cookies and Cream Varsity Jacket: I brought an elegant, and luxurious varsity jacket that is easily stylable, and puts the finishing touches on an outfit. I also got this jacket gifted as a public relations package from Texas rapper and entrepreneur CFL Billions! 
• Wedding Guest Gown:  I brought along an evening gown my mother crafted in just three days! This stunning dress features intricate white floral lace, champagne underlining, and gold floral embellishments that add a touch of glamour. In Arab culture, it is common to avoid wearing the same dress twice, so this cherished gown was passed down to me as a beautiful heirloom. 
• Vintage Chanel Bag: This 2006 “Chanel shopping tote PST caviar black” was my mother’s bag in 2008. She bought the bag in New York City when visiting family. The bag was black leather with diamond shape prints, with the double C embordered in the middle on a beige embordered circle. The tote bag was and still is used for carrying large items like a laptop to go to the library.
