Outfit of the Day: Dark Varsity


Hey guys!

Well it's almost the end of the semester! So here I am stressing out again, I recently got my mid-term exams and already I am preparing for the final exams. Typical life of a student, anyways on a better note I am almost done filming for another look book. Which is super outdated at this point to post it, it was a Fall Look Book Pt. 2, but it's completely cold outside to even be considered Fall. Nonetheless, I think I will be posting it anyways, since I've already have 5 looks filmed and edited, I hope it can serve as inspiration to those living in warmer climates. I had fun filming and I have even more ideas in store to film, like the Thrifted Look Book, Outfits of the Week, and some DIY projects I had in mind. I will totally update you guys when I do post a video. 

On to my outfit, it's a monochromatic look, and I paired it with my favourite skirt. This window-pane printed skirt makes any look hip. In addition, I wanted to incorporate a boyish charm to it, and I simply achieve that by pairing it with a varsity jacket. Not just any varsity jacket, but a sheer one! The moment I saw it in Forever21, I picked it up right away, I knew this piece was one of those show stopper pieces. Although the irony of this boyish jacket is of course it has 'Barbie' written in bold letters in the back and when you button the front it reads 'DOLL'. Forever21 has done a collaboration with Barbie, not quite sure how this jacket relates to Barbie, as I would expect all the pieces to be very pink and doll like. Well anyways, I've spoken enough about a jacket. Here's the outfit :)

Outfit of the Day: Pattern Mixing


Hey guys!

How's it going? I know this outfit is a bit ... doesn't really make sense when Toronto is already in full-winter mode with the cold freezing winds and the 2 cm snow. But it will make sense when I inform you these photos were taken about two weeks ago and I completely forgot to post them up. This outfit is something I've worn to school, so kept it real casual. For school I love wearing stripes, florals, polka dots, plaid which in my opinion are classic patterns and can never go wrong and are great to wear for school. I found this floral skirt in my drawer and realized I haven't got the chance to wear it yet so I was like why not. Admittedly, this outfit is not super creative and out there but it's school and I really don't want to bust out my fedora hat and a fringe vest and go all out. The minimal creativity element was mixing the floral with a striped bandeau top instead of the expected black or white shirt/sweater. And oh my god, before I finish this post I just watched Mocking Jay Part 1 and it was amazing and you should go watch it very soon! Jennifer Lawerence's acting was phenomenal and I definitely it. Just warning you, there's going to be a huge cliff-hanger and you'll be dying to know what happens next, but of course  if you're curious you can always read the Hunger Game Series by Suzanne Collins. Anyways here's the look :)

Outfit of the Day: Timeless Stripes



Hey lovelies!

So my life pretty much is sleep, eat, study, study, sleep, and repeat. I totally apologize ahead of time for future posts that may include my rants about university. Not to mention the very least I've been staring at Latvian data for the longest time to find some kind of trend (which I obviously didn't)... I learned quite a bit of Latvian from the assignment and learned to write pointless gibberish over the span of 8 pages. I am glad I got that over with, since I felt like pulling my hair out constantly. But whatever, it's a brand new week now and I got new assignments to worry about, alas the life of a typical university student.

Anyways on to the more exciting part of my blog post, the outfit. So it's Monday, back to school after a nice long weekend, I pretty much seek for comfort. And this striped dress I recently got was probably the best purchase ever; since it honestly feels like I'm wearing pajamas. It's a life goal, really... wearing pajamas outside and have it acceptable. This striped tee dress is over-sized, soft and very comfortable to be in. I just paired the dress with a bunch of long necklaces, tied a denim shirt around my waist and wore my sneakers. All of the pieces I have incorporated to the outfit are timeless and you really can't go wrong wearing stripes, denim shirt or Converse sneakers any time of the year. Well I will see all of you guys in the next post. And on a final note, just wanted to give you guys a heads up that I will be posting a YouTube video very soon and will definitely update you guys about that soon. :)

Outfit of the Day: Plaid Fuzz


Hey lovelies,

Hello! I am back with a new post and it's unbelievable two posts in a row, cha-ching! I am definitely happy with that since I love blogging. Here is a casual school look, nothing special since I think every student has this plaid shirt in their closet. It's a go-to look and you can never go wrong with plaids for school, it's a classic item to have in your wardrobe. I just paired a denim skirt to keep the look casual, paired a fuzzy crop sweater to stay warm and I toughened it up with a leather jacket and some biker boots. 

I guess I don't have much to say except that... today was the Toronto Mayoral Elections Day! I was beyond excited to vote since it was my first time voting. I think it's really important everyone votes so the most appropriate mayor is elected which aligns with the city's interests. At exactly 8 pm everyone in Toronto was on their toes to figure out who will be our mayor for the next four years. It's real important we get a dedicated candidate this year since there are several issues that needs to be addressed in Toronto regarding the TTC, construction, social services that needs to be met. 

Anyways hope you guys enjoy the rest of the week! Peace :)

Outfit of the Day: Silver x Mint




Hey lovelies,

EARTH TO MAHA! EARTH TO MAHA. In case you guys were wondering... I am not dead... still here! But I did go M.I.A on all of you guys. School is what happened, I am probably losing hair at this point and I have no social life. It's been a tough month getting back to school, if you're all in university or college like me then you guys can totally relate. And trust me, I would love to blog more often but due to SEVERAL constraints it explains the lack of blogging. But I'm still trying to get a hold of school, be involved in extracurricular, volunteer, and commit to muay thai. OMG suicide, when I decided to join 3 case competitions on top of that, what did I get myself into? Time management (FOR REALZ) is a huge struggle and hopefully I get a hang of it (SOON) since midterms are coming up very soon for me.

NONETHELESS here is my outfit I wore to school and I felt very uninspired today, yesterday, everyday, the day my summer ended. Haha, I apologize for my very depressing post today. Anyways I've stuck to the same colour palette for this whole week, actually all I've been wearing is various shades of grey (total reflection of how I feel during school) and I decided to throw in a colour. I'm totally obsessed with the colour mint, so it was a given I pair all my grey's with mint in today's look. Pardon for the lack of makeup, as I went to my muay thai class today; I dislike wearing makeup when I am drenched in sweat. In other news, I guess it's time for me to get back to studying. But for those of you who are doing your midterms... wish you all the best & GOOD LUCK :) and before I end this post just wanted to let you know I posted a new video 'Fall Lookbook' on my YouTube channel - MahaOnTheGo, check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HONtC-n76M8

Outfit of the Day: Grungin' Around


Hey lovelies,

I finally have a post up! This is an outfit I sported yesterday, a comfortable yet an effortless outfit. I went to the Maple Leafs Fest at the Air Canada Centre for the day, an event for hockey fans where autograph signings took place from the Toronto Maple Leaf Hockey Players and the Marlies team. I've went for some Thai food right after and some shopping and just took a stroll around the city. Here is the look :)

Outfit of the Day: Tie Addiction



Hey lovelies,

     It is finally the weekend, which means I can finally enjoy it. I did some filming today for my Back to School Lookbook, which I am so so stoked about. I've been trying to create different looks that will fit the various aesthetics for my viewers for some back to school inspiration. Throughout the process of filming and teaching myself video editing, I did not realize how long the process took and how much work is needed to create HQ videos and I now have so much appreciation for all the YouTubers who post such amazing videos. 

     Today not only did I filmed a look for the lookbook, but I also met up with some of my girls for a Girls Night Out. We decided to hit up the new restaurant, Poutineville, that recently opened in Toronto. We decided to give it a try as my FaceBook feed was flooded with pictures of mouth-watering poutine everywhere. I decided it was time we all go try out this restaurant that was all the rage, and let me tell you my expectations had been exceeded by their great hospitality, great food and a nice atmosphere. I had a great time at Poutineville as the customer service I received from the waiters and the owner was very welcoming and genuine. I decided to order a custom poutine which included philly steak, guacomole, hot peppers, onions, feta cheese, mozzarella, and cheddar, and it was so good. I plan to go again for sure to try experiment with different combinations. 

      Anyways moving on about my outfit, you can all probably tell that I have a new little addiction; that is tying cardigans, shirts, etc around the waist. I actually didn't plan to have the sweater tied around my waist, it was originally an extra layer I wore under my anorak as the weather in Toronto is really topsy-turvy. I just found having this sweater tied around my waist made my life a lot easier and fuss-free, and really was a life saver when the weather did get cool every now and then. I kept everything minimal since I wanted to keep the outfit casual, so I wore a chiffon black v-neck strap dress with an anorak on top and this necklace that looks like an antique pocketwatch. Hope you all like the look :)

Outfit of the Day: Creepin' the City


Hey lovelies,

It's the weekend, so I've been enjoying the outdoors as much as I can. I usually don't pick up grungy items, but I was totally drawn by these adorable plaid shorts from Forever 21. I decided to style this in a more subtle grunge way. I didn't want to accessorize too much so I kept the look simple to make sure the plaid print from the shorts stood out. I wore a sheer striped crop top along with some creepers to make the look :)

Outfit of the Day: Casual Leather


Hey lovelies,

As you can see I'm going through a weird grey phase. This week felt long and dreadful as I had to study and do tedious work all week, so it may explain why I've been sporting several grey outfits throughout the week. My favourite colour combination is pink, grey and black so I ended up with this look I worn this outfit on yesterday's date, where I went out for a walk along Ossington Street and grabbed some pizza. I had my leather skater skirt lying around my drawer for quite some time and decided to give my skirt a chance. I wanted this outfit to be very low key and casual so pairing some converse and a grey sweater; did just that. Well, here's the outfit :)
