The Muslimah Boutique (Review) +ootd


THE MUSLIMAH BOUTIQUE

There I was at my kitchen table eating my breakfast when the doorbell rang, and lo and behold on the other side of the door, this package was waiting for me:

Thanks to Yasmin from the Muslimah Boutique for sending out this beauty to me!!



Beautifully wrapped package which makes an ideal gift. Inside the package I found this Black Out Bronze Necklace with a large sunglasses Pendant designed and made by The Muslimah Boutique. 



She really hit it home with the glasses pendant given how much I love my geeks!! I love that there is a simple antique effect to it. It's great to wear almost any outfit. I personally love the idea of wearing it with a casual outfit, the necklace just pieces it all together.
I love the butterfly detail and intricate designs on the edges.


The necklace itself is not too big and not to small in size; the length of the chain measures at 96 cm- it's just right! 
For those of you who like showing off a bit of bling under your hijab; I totally recommend wearing long chains so its in sight. I wore the necklace with a light chiffon skirt, logo tee and trainers 


Absolutely love this look; it has a bit of a laid back tom-boy feel to it but adding it with light fabrics, such as this baby pink chiffon maxi skirt, also adds on a bit of a girly look too- so you get the best of both worlds. Who says pink and trainers don't mix? No one that's who!



Love the cropped denim jacket with the pink skirt and a black leather backpack!

Sorry must dash... <3

How awesome does the necklace look with this too cool for school tee though???

HKScarves (Review)

This blog post will most definitely catch the interest of those of you whom are looking for quality maxi scarves, many people ask me what type of hijabs I wear; I can tell you that my most preferred types of scarves are viscose maxi hijabs, and I was lucky enough to get my hands on some from the beautiful Habibah at 'HK Scarves'.
I was absolutely thrilled when Habibah contacted me in order for me to review the hijabs she sells. And I can honestly say I was pleased with the hijabs I received.

ABOUT HK SCARVES: (excerpt taken from their website)
HK Scarves specialise in stylish, modest, elegant and fashionable scarves. Their goal is to provide an extensive line of scarves, without having to sacrifice style. You will be able to wear these scarves on a broad range of functions; from everyday wear to corporate parties. They hope to not only meet the needs of women looking for modest wear, but also to all those who want an elegant option.
There is a common misconception that if clothing is described as modest, it is boring, outdated, and lacking in personal style. The people at 'HK Scarves' respectfully disagree! For every fashionable look that exists, there is a covered-up-stylish alternative.Their primary focus is on the end result of the garment. They will make sure that you get the best of quality and style from them along with their commitment to customer care.



I received HKScarves' creamy maxi hijab, pastel aztec print hijab and the mushroom brown maxi hijab (l-r)





This is how I styled my crfeamy maxi hijab. I used a statement collar necklace to create this look. I would totally wear this style to any special occassion/function as it instantly makes you stand out. let the statement necklace work its magic! effortlessly chic and so easy to do... little things can go a long way.

 I absolutely love the mushroom brown hijab it is almost a dusky pink colour, a mix between pink and brown <3
Another way to style a necklace with a hijab! These hijabs are particularly long and provide great coverage!



Acessories
Ring- gift
Earrings- Peacocks

Outfit
Hijab- HKScarves
Shirt- Forever 21
Maxi cardigan- eBay
Maxi skirt- Primark

Last but certainly not least! this is how I styled the aztec pastel; print hijab- my particular favourite especially during sunny days when I love wearing pastel colours! I think it went perfectly with this outfit! Wearing a pastel yellow shirt and pleated pink maxi skirt, a white maxi cardigan and to bring it all together... the pastel aztec print hijab which I absolutely am in love with. For those of you whom would prefer not to wear this on the head it goes great as a neck scarf too! I love wearing print scarves around my neck, they give any outift an instant wow factor. be prepared to see me donning a few printed scarves as snoods over the course of autumn and winter months.

Resham Collection (Review) + ootd's + Turban tutorial

I received some AMAZING products from the lovely people at Resham Collection! Keep your eyes peeled for a 10% discount code at the end of this review, the details of their website and other deets. I was sent their 'persian peacock' print hijab along with the beautiful 'blue china' hijab and my favourite piece the pastel tassel bracelet and a tribal multicoloured necklace!




I absolutely adore the tribal necklace! so prefect for summer and any occasion I styled it with a colorful ensemble to work with the necklace.

Tribal print necklace!



The necklace added an wow factor to the whole outfit. I love necklaces and I believe that it always brings an outfit together!


As stated before the pastel tassel bracelet is by far my favourite (and on sale on the Resham Collection website). It's so simple and yet so stunning! Accessories are a must in my book! 



 I styled my outfit with the beautiful blue china hijab as a neck scarf! if you are one to opt for a simple outfit, i definitely suggest jazzing it up with a printed neck scarf/ hijab because it makes such a huge difference.






I wore the persian peacock scarf in a turban and I am absolutely in  love with it! Its so colourful and definielt a must have in any hijabis wardrobe :)
