Taken with the wind...

 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

السلام عليكم
Good morning best friends! I hope your day is off to an awesome start. Some of you lovelies have been speaking to me via snapchat and instagram, which makes me so excited. I absolutely love making new friend, so join me and my circle of weirdness, do not be shy and drop me a message.

 On this day my friend, sister, cousin and I decided to roam around the V&A Waterfront. I am not going to lie we spend most our time looking at things no student can afford and filling your long last cravings, so yes basically splurging on food. haha  If I think about it that is how most of my weekends go, well that's besides the occasional "I really NEED this (insert clothing item here)". Am I right?...

 Moving on to look I had on this day which is really great for the hot days we still seem to be having. It was really comfy and made me feel like a hijaabi superhero haha. As you will probably see down below, what I'm referring to as my Elsa cape, blows beautifully in the wind. This is something I designed myself and will be available for purchase if anyone is interested. You can send me an email (southernhijaabian@gmail.com).

 On to the rest of the look I decided to go with this really thin patterned material top and a surprisingly, super comfortable skinny jeans. A black scarf, because the top was already so busy. Not forgetting my granny black strap shoes and a long necklace which I just love because it adds this extra bit of hippie to my already laid back look.

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
