Haya and Sama Abu Khadra, twin sisters from Dubai, have momentarily forced me to stop stalking Anna Dello Russo and instead, focus on their curls. Of Palestinian heritage, Haya and Sama grew up in Dubai as the daughters of Rula Abu Khadra, the founder of The Art of Living lifestyle boutique in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. At 15, the duo earned the title as the youngest buyers ever at Paris Fashion Week, helping their mom go to shows when she didn't have time to see them herself. In an interview with WWD Magazine, Haya explained that if a collection garnishes their stamp of approval, their mother will then visit the showroom to place orders for her store. Cooler than MK&A? Quite possibly. Cooler than Michelle Tanner and her Hispanic identical cousin? Nope.

After that day when I saw the elephant, I let myself see more and believe more. It was a game I played with myself. When I told Alma the things I saw she would laugh and tell me she loved my imagination. For her I changed pebbles into diamonds, shoes into mirrors, I changed glass into water, I gave her wings and pulled birds from her ears and in her pockets she found the feathers, I asked a pear to become a pineapple, a pineapple to become a lightbulb, a lightbulb to become the moon, and the moon to become a coin I flipped for her love, both sides were heads: I knew I couldn't lose.- NK

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: It’s really all over the map. I usually wear thrifted pieces and throw them all together into something that sort of mimics what’s popular, but sometimes is a throwback.

Q: Do you think being raised in Minnesota has influenced your style?

A: Yes, definitely. Minnesota has really cold winters and really hot summers. Because of that, I have a large range of clothing. I have so many dresses and clothes for summer but then so many clothes for winter as well. I’ve really learned how to dress for all types of weather and occasion.

Q: I’ve seen your blog Panties, do you think your taste in panties is similar to your taste in outer garments?

A: Yes. I have a wide selection of panties. I’ve bought some at Goodwill, but those are just ones that were surplus at Target.

Q: What’s your favorite pair of Panties?

A: My favorite pair is a pair that my roommate got me that say’s “I love boys.” Those will probably be going on the blog soon.

Q: What’s something someone would never find in your wardrobe?

A: I don’t want to limit the possibilities. I could probably have anything in my wardrobe, from either the past or the future and make it work somehow.

Q: What’s your favorite piece of clothing?

A: Probably a skirt that I bought this summer for $4 that I found out later was Oscar de la Renta. It’s long, silk, brightly colored and patterned.

Q: Is there anyone on campus whose fashion style you admire?

A: Tasha Rhoads. She always looks so edgy and cool.

Q: Looking ahead to the Winter, what are some ways you maintain your inner fashionista ?

A: Layering and trying new things. And never letting the weather prevent you from looking good!

Q: What were you for Halloween?

A: Rosie the Riveter. I wore a denim shirt with these black high waisted slacks that I bought this summer, beige wedges and a red bandana. And bright red lipstick, of course.

Q: What are you wearing right now?

A: I’m wearing a lace top, high waisted mom jeans and tights. Then on top, I’m wearing a navy blazer and a yellow silk scarf that I bought in turkey.

Q: Do you have any advice for the less fashionable Carls?

A. Drop the running shoes. Seriously.
