Five items on my dresser I don’t leave the house without:
1- wrist candy (I’m always wearing my bracelets)
2- oversized sunglasses
3- a nude lip
4- fragrance (my go-to is Alaïa)
5- my watch
Swipe to see pictures from over the years for proof! What are your signature items you don’t leave the house without? Besides your phone! 😆💞

Every once in awhile I get this intuitive feeling that tells me good news (iA) is coming. I had it when I sent in my grad school app, I had it the morning I first worked w NCT... & I have it today! My guess is this happens when I’ve continuously put in genuine, hard work towards something & the universe is responding. 🙏🏽 So to pass along the good karma, I’m sharing three secrets to success with my Instafam that have worked for me:
1. Your only competition is yourself. Stop comparing yourself to others! Don’t let people’s highlight reels on here fool you... I promise none of us have perfect skin & stress-free lives. We’re all struggling together, there’s no reason to be ashamed of it. 😘
2. Practice self-kindness. I don’t know why we’re conditioned to believe that hyping ourselves up is wrong. You can totally speak highly of yourself without coming off arrogant. Think about all you’ve accomplished & all the bad days you’ve survived up until now. Be proud of your resilience & talents & all the wonderful quirks that make you YOU! 🥰
3. It’s okay to not be okay. Don’t put pressure on yourself to fit into society’s timeline of accomplishments. If I had done that then I’d be married with a down payment & a baby by now. Instead I’m single & paying off my student loans, but still thriving in the greatest city in the world. There’s no rush & it’s never too late. If you feel burned out & need to step back & focus on your wellbeing then do that. 💗
Now go forth & slay my inspiring angels! #MotivationalMonday 🖤

To be young & in love in New York Cityyy 🎶 Happy birthday to my favorite person whose shown me a whole new shininggg, shimmeringgg, splendiddd world 🥳 Thank you for blessing the world w your sweet, talented voice & doing THIS (swipe 4th slide!) when I asked you to flirt on camera 🙈 It’s hard to believe, but it makes total sense your birthday is on Valentine’s Day ...this was supposed to be a Valentine’s post, but #HappyJaehyunDay is way better! 🥰🍑🥐

I don’t have a significant other, but if I had a boyfriend, I would totally steal his shirts all the time! Yeah... see this skirt? That’s a men’s shirt! 😏 In honor of Valentine’s Day, I wrote a blog post on different ways to wear men’s shirts... better than he ever could! Plus, sharing is caring & just oh so sustainable. 😉 Ladies, have you ever styled a men’s shirt? Link in bio! 💋

I can’t think of a caption, but enjoy my one appearance at FW this season. 🙃🔪🖤

There’s some really negative juju going around lately. I know I’ve definitely been feeling it! I came across this beautiful letter (swipe) I received a few months ago & it was kind of like the sign I needed to snap me back into my senses. I feel maybe someone reading this needs some fuel for their soul so I’m going to open up on here & see where this goes. My life has been in a very strange flux for the last two months, an unexpected transition period taking longer than I anticipated to move forward from. Recently I’ve been feeling a little disconnected from my soul, letting myself get distracted from my goals, purpose, & my inner voice. My wellbeing has been neglected, I’ve been lazy, & I put myself down, which is a big no-no in Casa Azadeh. My frequency has been way off, however I recognize & accept this is all part of the process to becoming greater. A greater woman, daughter, sister, friend, & role model. But I need to start investing in myself again. I need to advocate for myself & be kinder to myself. I don’t need to have it all figured out to move forward, I just need to move forward. A little forward, is still forward. This is my life & I’m going to show up & move forward. And that brings me to YOU, whoever you are reading this, but especially the young women who may be feeling a little down lately. Be kinder to yourself. Don’t be ashamed of your story, your process. It’s made you who you are today. And who you are today has survived all your bad days until now. You are brilliant, smart, resilient, & full of purpose! You don’t need anyone else’s validation to elevate your game. Declare yourself greater than any negativity surrounding you & show up & move forward... that’s what I’m going to do starting right now because honestly, I’m kind over this whole downtime. I have shit to do & an impact to make & so do you! So let’s do it. Let’s move forward. 🖤 What are you going to do to move forward? Let’s inspire each other in the comments below. 😘⬇️

Just some pure pure bubu things for you bc this video turned out so CUTE! 😭 What an honor to have helped on this set, I’ll never forget it! But really, why is TY like this?! His facial expressions & dropping the marker! 🙈 #MostPrecious #MustProtect

The ULTIMATE guide for your future conscious closet (on a budget!) is now live on AzArAm! I’ve written a 12 step guide full of advice, brands, tips, & resources for all of you interested in sustainable & ethical fashion. Link in bio! 💋 Can we also talk about the major #Jaenergy happening in this pic? It’s because Jaehyun is all about that conscious, capsule closet life too! 😏🖤 #ClosetTwin #ConsciousFashion

THROWBACK! This photo was taken 3 years ago & all the pretty snow covering the city today has me smiling the same way! ❄️☃️ I’m not a winter person at all, but there’s been something so magical about today... maybe because it’s the first official snow of the decade? I just have a really good intuitive feeling about it! 🥰💫 Has it snowed where y’all are?

Happy Friday y’all! Thought I’d introduce myself to newer Instafam followers on here with some random facts: 🙋🏻‍♀️
- Azadeh means F R E E D O M.
- I’m 30 years old.
- I’m a multimedia journalist in the best city in the world.
- My favorite season is summer because I loveee being in the sun & having my legs out (pants are leg prisons!).
- I’ve never had alcohol.
- I founded a small agency where I work with global impact brands & influencers to promote ethical & sustainable fashion.
- I started boxing a little over a year ago & it’s made me so much stronger both physically & mentally. 🥊
- I’m scared of whales.
- I’ve never met a food I don’t like.
- I have a master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University (which in my opinion is the best school in the world).
- I’m an advocate of the United Nations @theglobalgoals.
- I’m a proud NCTzen! 😎🌱💚
Introduce & tell me something about yourself below! ⬇️

Hi angels, missed me? 😘🖤

Only you U N D E R S T A N D how much you inspire me to be a better person, motivate me to never give up, & remind me that my truest passion in life is “other people’s happy makes me happy.” T(hank) y(ou) my angel. 🖤 I’ll forever be your TyongF & will always have Rice Krispies & ice cream waiting for you here... 🥺💚

Happy F R I D A Y instafam! 🌸 This is your daily reminder to please be kind to yourselves! I asked in my story last night how you practice self-kindness and the responses really broke my heart with many saying they don’t believe they deserve it... 😔 I’ve finally published the long awaited blog post about dealing with bullying and self-kindness is the most important lesson I have for you. Kindness is THE universal language, but what good is it towards others if you don’t speak it to yourself? Never doubt that you are perfect, brilliant, & smart as you are, no matter what bullies say. You matter, your feelings are valid, & I KNOW you will overcome whatever current setbacks you face! 😘👑 Link in bio! 💋

Saw some big bois throwing three stacks last night 😛🖤 #SuperM #SuperMinNYC What was everyone’s favorite part?! (Besides TY’s No Manners 😜)

Growing up, I never saw myself represented in the media. I spent many confused years white washing myself to ‘fit in.’ Today, I work for a magazine that included TWO talented, barrier breaking Iranian women as the center of one of the biggest, most glamorous award shows, Women of the Year. Beautiful @nasimpedrad hosted the WOTY summit and beautiful @yarashahidi was one of our WOTY recipients! I never would have believed this day!!! I wish I could tell my younger self to accept my name, my hair, & my culture earlier in life. It means SO MUCH to me, I can’t exactly put words together here without crying... I’m so grateful to @glamourmag & @condenast for finally letting me see myself represented in the media. 🥺💖 & for all the young women reading this who feel torn between two cultures because your parents immigrated to a new country- be PROUD of your heritage. Don’t conform to make others comfortable. Let others get uncomfortable accepting your name, your features, & your culture. 😘💞 #GlamourWOTY

I’m convinced @tenlee_1001 is out to get me with his touching, teasing, & feeling in the new #LoveTalk video! 🙈 But really, this song is 🔥💯 & you can check out my full reaction at the link in my bio! 😘💚 @wayvofficial #WayV

I guess you could say Neo York is officially #Jopping! 😏🥰🖤💚 #SuperM

This was spontaneously taken on set (with an iPhone!) after a 12 hour shoot today by my beyond talented friend @steventong... I’m generally very shy for pictures, you’ll notice I always have sunglasses on or cover my face in some way. A few months ago, I would never sit for anyone who wanted to take photos of me (especially after such a long day), but I’ve become so confident recently! You can tell from all my recent posts too- my face is out, I accept myself more, & I don’t even wear makeup like I used to. Who am I?! I wonder where all this confidence is coming from... 😏💚 #JustSaying Anyways, enjoy my face on your feed (& stan NCT), bye! 🥰

Am I Amal Clooney yet? 🙈 Honored to be back at my fourth (fifth?) #UNGA! 🇺🇳 Wow, I can’t believe I’m even saying that because as a young girl I always dreamed of being be part of movements, discussions, & initiatives within the UN that drive positive social impact & now... here we are. 🥺 Here I am advocating for #SDG13, climate change, & wearing all conscious clothes! I also did a social takeover for the @consciousfashioncampaign so be sure to check out their stories! 🥰💚

Who wore it better? 😉 #NYFW
