How I wear my Dungarees...

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

السلام عليكم


Asalaam Walaykom everyone, happy Sunday! It is a beautiful day in Cape Town today so I hope you all are having a blast, send me a snap of what you're doing today.   

As you have probably notice from the title I am going to talk about overalls/dungarees. This specific clothing item can be a little tricky to wear because your whole backside is on display, and growing up as a Muslim girl the first thing your mom would check was "but does it cover your bum?" haha if so you can buy it. So clearly you can see why I never really went with the overall 'hype'. However I got one for my birthday which I completely fell in love with and realized wait, the aim of this blog is to show my sisters of Islam how to take these westernized tools and turn it into your own.

Getting to my point, it is actually really simple, you just need a really over sized overalls/dungaree, so it sits on you like a boyfriend jeans and a long shirt or jersey to tie around your waist. 

The first look was taken at my birthday party, that's why I'm holding balloons. I know this is super late but shukran again to everyone who came and made my day special even if it meant stuffing our faces with cake and playing hide and see. haha

    Love the look! Reminds me of Ascia AKF :)

    I was also a little sceptical when I got mine - but it's so comfy!

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
