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 head...

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 o...

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...
