S.W.A.G = Scarf Wearing Adorable Gangsters

Today I am rather pleased to say that I had a really good Monday, wow I know.

Spent a lovely all girls day in Constansia with my good friends and former class mates. It was basically a huge picnic with loads of things to eat, fun games to play and some splashing around in the pool. Note to self : if you ever want to see how hard your friends can laugh play marry, sleep with or kill.

As I mentioned it was a girls only event and  I did not take any pictures due to the fact that everyone was scarf-less and could basically wear anything they want including me. 

On to my outfit which is exactly what I wore today except I just had a cap on with no scarf. I liked this look so much because it was incredibly comfortable and I took this as a challenge. How was I going to combine scarf with a peek-cap?  

Well this is what I came up with. I took burqah(under scarf) and put it normally on my head, followed by the peek-cap and then tossed the burqah to front and pin the both sides. If you would like me to do a tutorial on this you are more than welcome to leave a comment on here or instagram @southernhijaabian 

To cover my neck I popped the collar of my shirt and pined it with a safety pin. Then I added a bold, chunky necklace. You have to know by now how much I absolutely love my patterns so I decided to take this washed out two toned denim shirt and slipped a black and grey striped top under. To complete the look I chose a plain black pants to match and some earthy toned boots. 

If I look really weird in any of these pictures it is probably because I literally just started dancing and my sister managed to take some awesome shots. Photo credit : Nishaat Isaacs

First Lady Affair

Image
On the 8th August 2017 I was privileged enough to attend The First Lady event hosted by Fatima Wise (memrsme) and Farah Moosa (Rebel Funk) both granddaughters of the late Fatima and Judge Essa Moosa. Fatima and Farah are determined to not let their grandparents struggle and fight be unheard. They were motivated to give back, therefore they will be donating a portion of the profits to a women’s upliftment centre, the Feel better Foundation. Since I started my blog I have always been so excited when it comes to attending events. I love meeting new people, hearing their stories, what they do for a living, what they are passionate about, taking cool selfies and of course indulging in loads of yummy treats. I’m there for it all. Once in awhile an event comes along that you know, there is no way I’m going to miss this. As much as I love fashion shows and media launches it is so refreshing to attend an event that is dedicated purely to uplifting women. Between freshly squ

Hijaabi goes..."Gangster"

    بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم   السلام عليكم Who said hijaabi's cannot go gangster? The baggy pants and shirt is the perfect way to style yourself as a Muslimah. It is not too revealing and just rather effortless. So if you look at it, this outfit is quite convenient. This specific look is inspired by Chris Brown from one of his music videos.  I am wearing a black tracksuit pants, paired with a long white tank top, black biker jacket with some cool studded detail to add some extra   edge. Perfect for the cold weather we having. A big chunky gold necklace to 'girl-a-fy' it a bit and not forgetting the signature check shirt. Once again proving that any hijaabi can rock any look. We all have our days were you just don't feel for the "girly-girl" look and just want to let loose and bring your inner "gangster" out.                Tip: If your tracksuit pants is bootleg like mine, cuff it by tucking the bottom of your pants into your sock

Cherry Blossom Couture

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم السلام عليكم Asalaam Walaykom everyone, if I told you how much times I sat down and tried to write this post you wouldn't believe me. Between work and well more work I seriously have no free time, I definitely have new found respect for people working in retail. Moving on to what this post is really about, Cherry Blossom Couture. I had the honor of seeing the collection before it was released and I was astonished. The material itself is of high quality and managers to flow perfectly on ones body without being revealing in any way. The inspiring women behind this beautiful collection goes by the name of Fatimah Meyer. Mrs Meyer says she never really grew fond of the western worlds style in clothing but instead always enjoyed designing her own clothes, this way she stays covered and modest. She was always encouraged by people around her to start her own collection,clearly even they could see she had a natural instinct when it came to designing b
