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There is a common misconception that if clothing is described as modest, it is boring, outdated, and lacking in personal style.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.

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.

MODA Style First (Review) + ootd's

 I received some AMAAAZING products to review from the wonderful ladies at MODA.

A bit of info about the girls at MODA: The small business was set up by two best friends, namely Amina and Samina. They currently sell jewellery such as necklaces, rings, bracelets etc. However they hope to start selling their own line of clothing in the future!!

I personally adore every single item I have received and others displayed on their instagram page (go check them out @modastylefirst). I feel their products are very modern and so perfect for every day wear and totally in sync with current fashion trends!

Here I am wearing the MODA moustache necklace and infinity bracelet!

How absolutely amazing is the MODA 'Moustachio watch'??? I am in love with the moustache trend and this piece does not lack any coolness. I also love the infinity bracelet which is another trend on the highstreets, its so simple and yet so eye catching. I recommend wearing both these outfits with a very casual chic ensemble.

With this outfit I wore the MODA 'Honeycomb necklace' which I think brings any outfit to life! its definitely a statement piece but you can play it down depending on what outfit you pair it with! its a definite fave and I've worn it many times. I'm also wearing the 'Moustachio watch' and 'Infinity bracelet' as stated above.

I absolutely love sailor inspired outfits during summer and this is by far one of my fave outfits. what better way to wear it than to pair it with MODA's 'Colour Block Triangle ring'. Red, white and blue all the way! 

The bigger picture: Ahoy there Sailor

Seriously though how great does the colour block ring look with this outfit?!!

the gold spikes necklace!

I absolutely love how the 'Gold Spike necklace' is so simple and yet so effective. It instantly jazzes up any outfit and best of all you can wear it with literally any outfit (whether it be casual or evening wear) and it will not look a bit out of place! This is perfect for those who aren't too comfortable with living life on the edge and prefer simple casual looks.

LOOOVE this outfit and the way MODA's jewellery pieces fit together in this ensemble. The 'Moustachio watch' and the 'Too Cool for School necklace'. Working bright colours into my outfit is something I love to do, especially during summer days! I personally feel that the 'Too Cool for School necklace' will definitely suit any outfit which involves the dressing down of shirts. Play around with what colours you can pair up in the wardrobe and see if you can discover the hottest colour combo!

I told you I loved that honeycomb necklace!!

An outfit perfect for summer.

Keeping It Under Wraps xoxo

A Walk in the Park

Finally British weather has decided to stay steady for a while and as the sun decided to shine upon the fortunate residents of London, I thought it would only be fair to make use of the warm weather. What better way to waste away a few hours of summer than to wind down with your family and have a picnic in the park? I had been meaning to wear this long chiffon cardigan I purchased a long time ago and I never really found the occasion until the very fateful day...

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 :)

Another turban look with my blue china hijab from the lovely Resham Collection!!

9.And that's all there is to it!! Get turban tying ladies!!!

A new Bow

If you haven't realised already I have a love of bow ties and all things geeky.... don't believe me check out my previous posts ;)

I admit I do enjoy the odd dress ups where my style is less geeky but I always come back to the bow every now and then. When I do style my outfits with a bow tie I try to make it my statement piece. I don't believe that enough women wear the bow tie and that bow ties are commonly worn by men, but I am personally very inspired by menswear and I am a firm believer that women can pull off 'the geek' just as well. 

We can all put a little bit of ourselves into what we wear and make it our own. 

Accessorising with geek glasses and a neck scarf

I wore a khaki turban in order to match the bow tie and accessorised with a long neck scarf which I believe compliments the outfit. I also wore a cobalt blue blazer and matching shoes because a little colour was necessary to bring the outfit together (and I love a bit of bold/bright colours).

The whole outfit- I love the way bold colours work extremely well with slightly dull/dark colours... try it with your outfits!

Cobalt and Lime

This is some outfit inspiration for anyone who is bold enough to wear bright colours! I wore this outfit to a friends birthday party because although it screamed FUN (with bright eye catching colours) it was also very elegant and chic with the clutch and heels and long flowing maxi skirt. I was somewhat confused and indecisive about what to wear, as all girls usually are before any party or major event. Therefore mixing elegance with a pop of colour is a great way to celebrate in style- I found this outfit to be both suitable for both day and evening. 

In any special occasion heels and a clutch are a definite must!! These minute but effective little details instantly make any outfit more than a little ordinary.

These blue heels are great for adding a bit of colour to your outfit! I can definitely picture these heels with an all black outfit too because that pop of colour will make it stand out add a matching scarf or bag and you're set.

Absolutely in love with this lime green blouse!! Be prepared to see this being starred in more outfit posts :D

This Maxi skirt was discovered in the teens section of New Look, during which time this colour maxi skirt was rarely seen. However, as of late and practically straight after I purchased this skirt I saw many more similar ones namely from Primark and also the women's section of new look. But I was still satisfied with my skirt, it was a perfect fit as it had an elasticated waist. TIP; when you aren't sure as to which size you should get an elasticated waist is a sure way to fight the uncertainty and I also find them to be quite slimming.

Accessories, and in my case; RINGS, are a must to jazz up any outfit
