Meetings and Islamia College Fashion Show

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

 السلام عليكم
Hello everyone. As promised here is my second post for the week. This is from last week Friday, 8th May. Two things occurred this night. I had a meeting with the fabulous girls from Al Azhar High School regarding their fashion show this Saturday on the 16th May. The second thing was the Islamia Girls college's fashion show, which was so lively and refreshing. Since I was late due to the meeting I did not  manage to take a bunch of pictures but I will leave a little information where you can find the designers I enjoyed and have a look for yourself.

 Meeting:  

 We basically had a run through of what is going to happen for the day. One thing I need to mention is since the theme is 'masked in hijaab' everyone must come dressed more on the formal side. Now do not let that word scare you, all they mean is, it is your time to look all fancy and glamours with your mask on. If you stuck on what to wear just go ahead and grab your last year Eid clothes or the last thing you wore to a wedding. See no need to panic, I know us girls biggest issue is always 'what am I going to wear?"



The Fashion Show:

 It is always inspiring going to a fashion show, especially an Islamic one. It's truly nice to see how many people are creating new ways to still look modest and beautiful. For along time people always thought hijaab will make them look 'dull' or 'boring' and I think that has changed a lot. The hall was huge and completely packed with girls cheering on their friends and both young and old women looking for something new to add to their closet.

 As for the designers I saw a lot of stunning yet flowy pieces. There was a few shiny, sparkly, beautiful dresses and some really simple yet classic pieces everyone needs in their closet. Each designer had their unique twist on the modesty of a muslimah.

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
