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There is a common misconception that if clothing is described as modest, it is boring, outdated, and lacking in personal style.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

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!
