Iman, I just have to say - when I watch your videos, I feel like teenage me again, a girl who loved tumblr and alternative fashion and expressed herself freely, and who I think, as an adult, has largely been ignored in the name of more practical and "safe" pursuits. I feel so inspired when I watch your videos, to be more like you, that is, to be more like myself!! More bold, more unique, and more present in my own life. Thank you so much for this lovely video 🙂 it's one of my favorite things about the Internet, getting to see a little window into other people's little slices of life. Sending you so many cozy fall vibes, Iman! May this season be good to you 💖❤️🍁
i don't know how to put it, but you're such an it girl because your uniqueness and personal specificity/style remains uncompromising even in the face of other influences and that your changes still have a through line connecting to every previous version of yourself. <3 love when you post!!
signatures as a form of self journalism is such a cool way to describe it! Love seeing how your aesthetic has changed and solidified over the last 2yrs
beautiful video! about signatures being constantly repaired, I feel that handmade garments often become signatures because the process of creation makes me value them more and makes them feel perfectly tailored to /me/. in fall/winter, this manifests itself a lot through accessories. the knit rusty orange headband with white flecks keeps my ears warm all season. 🍁
hi iman! i am sat with an apple empanada and cappuccino (seasonal signatures of my own). i love love love your attention to aesthetic architecture, especially concerning memory. agh... the senses! the signs! amazing. thank u for sharing these glimpses of ur life with us :) wishing u a stylized and curious autumn.
The whole concept and structure of this video are so soothing and confidence building at once. We should all enjoy signatures and develop our own comfortable niches in terms of style, items and areas of interest and hobbies and I love how you’ve articulated it!
i love what you were saying about signatures as documents of the self and self-journalism! i do find that knowing what i like and what i associate with the person i want to be really helps me navigate through life and growth <3
Its always fun to hear people name the thing you have been feeling/observing around you! I have always been told by the people around me (strangers, acquaintances and friends) that I have specific, or signature clothes or accessories that they notice about me. At first it was a bit jarring for people to point those things out, but now those pieces have become something i can build on, and often a great conversation started haha. I also feel like it helps with creating joy and beauty in trying to find something that fits you, and provides a care towards that world
First video of yours I have ever seen. I was already liking a lot of what you were saying and showing but then you picked up your phone when your mum called and you spoke arabic and italian flawlessly. I would not have guessed you spoke italian so well as you were not having an accent in english and we italians are not really know for our received pronunciation! 😂 Now I’m definitely hooked and want to know more about you and your content! 😊
I’m British and you said Cath Kidston correctly! Pls don’t worry about your accent. I had so many Italian immigrants in my secondary school, and I loved their accent.
CK still exists in the UK and probably a few other countries. But the brand doesn’t have its own website/shop anymore (I miss those days…). You can only buy CK in Next now.
It was so nice to meet you!!! I really love to see how other girls dress in Ottawa because often you have to be so weather conscious. In terms of my signature, for winter I use light blue as a neutral (for socks etc) but I have not figured our my fall signature because I think I'm trying to embrace lighter colours into my fall/winter wardrobe so I'm in the midst of building that state.
