بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم السلام عليكم There is a particular routine you follow when coming into contact with new people. Normally, this brings up a few recurring and obvious questions.; "What is your name? Where are you from? Where do you work?", once all these questions have been answered, my family member/friend/colleague feels the need to mention that I am a blogger. This got me thinking for someone who is wearing this 'blogger badge' so proudly I should definitely start posting more frequently. Which leads me to the presentation of this wickedly cool post featuring a beautiful robe from Haya Collective. I'm always looking for new modest fashion brands to try, so when the Haya Collective team reached out to me I was extremely excited to try out their brand.  Here in Cape Town spring is in the air and summer is around the corner, you know you are going to be rocking those pastel, flowy garments. With that being said I absolutely fell in love with H

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم السلام عليكم Hey everyone, so this is the second part to my Inner Queen series. Be sure to read the previous post to see what this is all about. Desert Born This side is, if you're lucky enough, the side you show all the time. Being, of course your best side. The side of you that is kind, sweet, silly, fun, gentle, friendly and more importantly honest. Most people try their best to emphasize this part of themselves and  that is okay. Just remember that you can not act like this is the only side to you, because at the end of the day we all have our flaws and as long as we working on them it's okay to acknowledge them. For this look I decided to take a much softer approach by adding a lot of cream and a hint of turquoise. However where the gold comes into play is displaying how I wanted this look to represent treasure. You don't have to necessarily chase  the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow but just simply stop and find the gold

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم السلام عليكم Hello everyone, I know I've been really quiet on my blog, so that is why I wanted to bring you a special post. To be honest I literally took these pictures in four hours easily, but what took me so long to post this is the actual meaning behind them and what they are suppose to represent. As a young, muslim women there is a certain standard you hold for yourself and sometimes people can assume many things about you that aren't even close to the truth. Sometimes this can have a terrible impact on you because what those people forget is that you are already fighting your own "demons" and them adding on does not help in anyway. Since you can not control other people it is only vital that you learn to accept yourself just the way  you are, so if someone does play on one of your weaknesses you will simply roll it off your shoulder  because you have self love. The reason why I chose to call this series "Inner q

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم السلام عليكم Hello everyone. I hope that you all are having a good week, if not hang in there because, weekend is coming (she said in a Ned Stark voice). Today's post is another what I wear to work, hence all the black. All  I'm wearing is a black dress under a stripe throw over, followed with a blazer. Some leggings and sneakers thrown into the mix and  viola ...work outfit done. haha  Blazer : Truworths Dress : LTD Sneakers : Nike Leggings : Mr Price Instagram : @southernhijaabian Snapchat : laaiqah_isaacs Twitter : @southernhijaabi Facebook : Southern Hijaabian Email : southernhijaabian@gmail.com Until next time, Laaiqah xxx

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم السلام عليكم Hello everyone, this is a look that was taken on holiday. Besides my beach series I do not normally look really busy on holiday. I usually look really simple and a little tired, due to the fact that I am too lazy to put make up on and my family is all for adventure and seizing the day, which starts with not sleeping thru morning breakfast. The reason for my 'simple' style choices is because, when I was younger I had the terrible case of over packing, I would drive my dad completely insane with my big bag of clothes. So overtime I just kind of started to wear plain and simple clothes on holiday. To shake my boring ways I decided to make it  interesting by choosing one piece of clothing with a bright pattern or statement on it but, I still  kept it 'packing friendly' by not adding too many layers. Thus the bright, bold, floral pants was born. haha I bought the material myself, that is why I have a matching headband. As

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم السلام عليكم Hello everyone, as the title states above I'm going to show you how I rock my Jordans. I am not going to lie, I know a lot of girls think that you can not make this shoe some what "pretty". To a certain extent I have to agree with that however, this is why I tried to make this two outfits tomboy meets girly.  I wanted to keep the two outfits very similar in look and even the same garments, just to prove that you don't need a bunch of different clothes to make up a cool outfit.  So if you find yourself running out of clothes to wear, changing one thing can make a huge difference. To give you a little run down, between the two looks my pants, shirt, scarf and shoes are the same. The only thing I changed was my dress underneath and the colour of my bandana.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم السلام عليكم Happy Wednesday everyone. Let me just start by reminding you all about the fundraiser being held by sisters in support. On Saturday Little Big Events Planners, Tasneem Hassan and Mujeebah Sauls Salaam welcomed us all with a little brunch to launch the event, it was so refreshing to meet new bloggers and I am so grateful they included me in this fantastic gathering. For those of you who do not know, they are having a open air cinema on the 13 February 2016, all the funds go to the Little Angels home, in aid of children with disabilities. I can honestly say I am super excited to spend the night with all of my friends jamming out to Grease, knowing my money is going to a good course.  With that being said, I will leave all the information down below for you all to find. Now for the fashion side of this post, you would of probably seen this outfit on my instagram already, so I thought I would put it here on my blog too so you can see all t
