Hello 2015...

 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

السلام عليكم




Shall I start by saying Happy New Year everyone, welcome to 2015 where flying cars and time travel still does not exist. This is not going to be a post about "new year, new me" because I think we've seen enough of that on tumblr and instagram. Now do not get me wrong I am not hating here I just think I am kinder over setting this long list of goals that, well never really work out. 

Yes goals are very important and when we achieve it we feel good about ourselves, but when we pile them up so quickly we end up overwhelming ourselves. 

I do not want to make this a long and sappy post. So I am just going to say that for 2015 I have one big goal for myself and that is to 'work harder'. Yes I know wow... that is so deep right, but if you think about it when I say 'work harder' I mean everything that I do, I am going to give it all that I got, hundred percent. So yes I am going to turn this into a "I'm going to be the best version of myself."

On to New Years Eve. My family decided to have a braai (just like every year). Where we laugh, eat and sing karaoke even if we not that good. (no judging zone)

On to my outfit. Which is a white over sized top with a denim skirt and another patterned pencil skirt underneath. This look is pretty formal but I think the denim skirt makes it a little more casual. A combination I completely love. Who said hijaabis can't wear pencil skirts?

Since the pencil skirt is mid length I paired it with a black tights. I decided to wear black heels because I think it just completes the look so much and since I was at home I'm not going to lie I did take them off as soon as I finished this mini photo shoot.

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"

Image
    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
