بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم السلام عليكم Asalaam Walaykom everyone. If you follow me on instagram you would of seen a lot of my beach series. I thought it would only be fair to put it on my blog because this little space is basically my online journal, also I know a lot of my readers don't have instagram or twitter to see these post.  I had so much fun making this series, which it actually rather funny because most of my friends know I'm not the first one to jump when they say "Let's go to the beach!" but, it was so relaxing, refreshing and more importantly...empty. To me the beach can be one of the most relaxing places when you focus on clearing your mind and taking it all in. Lastly I would just like to thank everyone who left such sweet, warm and kind comments on my pictures, I was trying something new by creating a whole series based on the same theme and your encouraging words really kept me motivated. The 'force' is strong with the southern ...

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...

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 y...

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم السلام عليكم Asalaam Walaykom everyone, I hope you all are doing well. This post is all about bandana's. I've been looking for them for a while and couldn't really seem to find any, once I did I've been incorporating them in my wardrobe for the past few weeks. It's really great to use as that pop of colour in your Saturday denims, or even that pop of pattern in your monochrome work attire. As you scroll down you will notice this post is made up of two outfits. The first outfit I wore to work, since the whole outfit is basically plain I decided to wrap my bandana around my turban, in conclusion it kept my scarf in place whole day and added a cool pattern. The second outfit got to watch Hotel Transylvania 2 in the cinemas (definitely recommend it). haha I absolutely love the simplicity of this look. Skinny jeans, white sneakers and a linen dress is all that this outfit is made up of and yet the bandana around my...
