Laaiqah Isaacs

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم السلام عليكم Hello everyone, I hope we are all having a fantastic week, if not just think tomorrow is Eid and the blessed day of Arafat was today. Two absolutely great reasons to smile. May all the good dua's made for and by us be accepted Insha'Allah and may the Almighty allow our families to return safely home to us Insha'Allah Ameen.  So as you can probably see this is not an Eid post but just a "what I wear to work" as I promised, so I'll keep it short. For this outfit I decided to step away from the 'girly' looks I have been doing recently and went with a edgy, tomboy approach.  I absolutely love this outfit, because of how comfortable it is. I know you probably thinking, "Wow really Laaiqah, track pants to work?" but hey I think it ended up looking pretty cool. This is also a perfect "I'm running late outfit", grey track pants with a long, over sized black shirt, a black biker jacket and som...

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم السلام عليكم Hello everyone, so over the past week I've tried my best to take pictures of the outfits I wear to work. I only wish I could show you all some "behind the scenes" for these pictures. Besides the pictures below all my other posts were taken by my different work colleagues and yes everyone wanted to know what I'm doing and why. It ended up being a rather awkward yet funny experience. Since I do have a few outfits to show you all I am going to be posting one every second day until the end of the month. I hope that makes up for my absence.  Anyway, I only realized afterwards that this look is basically Mr Price featuring a pair of Nike sneakers. Since this outfit is pretty straight forward you will notice in the last picture I ended up unbuttoning the last few buttons and tying the two pieces together, I think it just adds some excitement to the "common" shirt everyone seems to have now. haha  Ski...

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم السلام عليكم Hello there everyone. Let me start off by apologizing for how late this post is, I recently started working so things have been quite hectic. However there is a bright side which is, I'll be posting a bunch of black and white things you can wear to work, which is of course my dress code. On to this over due post. This is what I wore last weekend when Zainab, Faiza and I decided to try out the Honest Chocolate café. We got there pretty early so we got one peaceful morning with dreamy chocolate beverages. After taking too many pictures in their stunning courtyard we took a drive to Sea Point where the photoshoot continued on the beach. haha Then of course stopping for lunch on the way home we got my favourite pasta at Atlantic Express, blue train, Sea Point. Now that you have the whole back story, let us go on to my outfit which is rather simple, because the jeans is quite a statement and I really...

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم السلام عليكم Well hello there everyone. I sure hope you all had a great weekend, whether you were out and about or just rebooting at home. I had tons of fun shooting this look with Faiza, after a coffee run and a few errands we found a nice, quite, little place and just simply stood in the middle of the street taking pictures.   My inspiration for this outfit was an edgy, biker kinder chick, which explains all the leather. Over my jeans I wore a black mini skirt to add length and another layer. Tucked in half my shirt to make the look more messy and causal. A pair of plain black, thick soled boots, which definitely screams biker. To top everything off I knew I had to wear a peak cap, so all I did was put a plain black scarf underneath and twirled it into a bun at the back.  P.S If you do not like or can not wear a lot of face or eye make up like me, then try putting on a bright lipstick, it looks like you 'tried' a little. ...

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم السلام عليكم Hello everyone. I must apologize for my absence, as you all know I officially decided to come out of my little cave and rejoin society. I simply just need to form a stable routine and then I will try to post weekly Insha'Allah. I am just going to talk briefly about my outfit of the day. I think it is safe to say I was completely inspired by the tv series Reign, if it does not ring a bell, I highly recommend it. Queen Mary of Scotland always has these breathe taking exotic gowns that seems modern yet still has that Victorian Era 'feel' to it. This is exactly what I wanted to achieve with my outfit. I had no specific design in mind but, when I went material shopping with my mom and picked up the fabrics I knew exactly what I wanted.  The texture of the material allowed my skirt to 'stand out' kind of like a princess and with the same material I made a corset, my top underneath my corset is this shiny crushed material,...

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم السلام عليكم Asalaam Walaykom everyone. I just want to say this is going to be my last outfit post for the month of June until the middle of July because Ramadan is going to start tomorrow Insha'Allah and since this is such a blessed month I want to give it all that I got. It is a month of sacrifice and for me as a person I can not think of anything better to sacrifice than my cell phone, it pretty much is glued to my hands. With that being said I will post a 'Ramadan post' in the middle of the month just as a update of things I've been reading or little ways we can all improve, just as motivation for us all. That is just something I feel I need to share with everyone but I promise I will post it from my laptop because like I said my phone will be off. So Insha'Allah I hope you all take full advantage of this blessed month and do not let it fly bye without you knowing something in you has changed for the better. May Allah (swt) accept ...
