I was looking for niqabis pictures and found this beautiful picture of a sister. From her blog, I think she's Canadian or Pakistani. What I want to really say is that, I really like her pic.
I don't think she's still active in blogging because her last entry was in July 2007. If you wish to visit her blog, this is the address.
Assalamualaikum everyone. I'm really sorry for not being here and lack of updates. I've been busy with my main blog, KeluargakuSayang and also tending my shop and the Library. It's a bit hectic with so many chores and works at both premises. And also, the lack of ideas.
Anyway, this time I'm going to share a few pics of my friend who has an Islamic Clothing boutique in Kota Bharu. I called her Kak Mah or Sister Mah. That's her in the pictures tending to her stall during a Jumaat lecture in the town center, Kota Bharu. She's a niqabi too.
Her shop sells Muslimah clothing and you can see from the pics some of the items that she sells. I've bought a few hijabs and jilbabs from her. Maybe I'll share a pic or two of the jilbabs later.
That's all for tonight and I've been tag again by Hajar. Hajar, insya-Allah I'll try doing that tag as soon as I can. Bye now. Sweet dream everyone. It's almost 10.40 pm.
Well, here it's actually winter going on to spring in a couple of months so I'm rather out of sync with the seasons but it's never too early to start planning your next seasons wardrobe :D
I love ASOS for their wide and wonderful selection of day dresses. Of course they do jeans and knitwear and shoes and everything else but I've only ever ordered from the dress section, they are just screaming out to be hijabified :DHere are two of my most recent and beloved buys, it's always a bit poo when they go into the sale after you buy them but I guess that's just how it goes:
You can see I heart ditsy floral print :D (The waist band of that second one is adjustable from the back so I wear it much looser and with a cardigan on top.) Here are some other ASOS dresses from the sale section I certainly wouldn't wrinkle my nose at:
A few days ago I was playing with my ideas at Polyvore and took some time to review all my sets. You know what? I found that some of my sets are really dull and I was thinking that I'm really an amateur. Of course, it's the truth that I have to admit.
Fashion is too subjective but as a Muslimah I would like to create or assemble the clothes to be in line with the Islamic teaching. And my ideas have helped me created all those sets. Some, I think beautiful and wearable but some are quite unattractive. I didn't mean that dressing like that to attract people's attention but, I like beautiful things and Allah is Jamilun.
Well, it's a bit frustrating when you see that you yourself are not satisfied with what you've created. Anyway, after 2 months of subscribing and creating more than 80 sets, I can see that some of my creations couldn't attract anyone's attention. Hmm...
I have 12 sets here, anyone would like to give some comments?
I came across this forum earlier talking about pink hijab day, mainly males saying pink hijabs were immodest and the whole idea of a pink hijab day was, and I quote, 'gay'. I've never never read such a whole load of rubbish in my life. Anyway, there was a poll where 44% thought that pink hijabs were immodest, 28% thought they weren't and rest were undecided. I mean there's one thing saying a skin tight pink dress coupled with a tiny little bright pink scarf and 6 inch pointy heels isn't hijab but to think that all pink headscarves are immodest is ludicrous and quite frankly makes me mad to think it was some stuck up man who wears want he wants that said it. On top of this, they completely ignore the fact that the whole point of pink hijab day is to raise money for breast cancer awareness, grrrrr!To prove these ignorant, judgmental people wrong, here are some pretty, pink and modest hijabs:
Not just a pink hijab but a pink abaya too!
Soo cute, I love this dusty shade of pink, I want that scarf!
Pink shamaghs all the way!
Smart hijabi, all in pink and still modest:
Muna's back, in pink of course and a cool tie-dye headscarf:
A very pretty and modest malay hijab:
And a pink prayer outfit for good measure, wonderful!
And lastly, a pink hijab outfit I made just for the occasion:
As much as I hate denim worn with denim, this bright, colourful outfit is lovely. I think it's because the jeans are barely visible that she has manged to pull it off:
We all love a maxi dress, but that doesn't mean they are easy to wear especially while keeping them modest and stylish at the same time - sometime I see people who have kept the modesty and ditched the style and sometimes it's the other way around. Well enough I say! Here are 3 simple ways to dress a maxi:
I think you can hijabify most things, well apart from bikinis and like Shakiras' outfits..
Here is a nice, girlfriends/indoor friendly outfit which I love so I have tried to recreate it with a slightly more Muslimah friendly feel
..and here is the finished look, I've used high boots because the skirt is mid-calf length and coupled it with a long, loose cardigan for an up to the minute style which will also cover up you accentuated waist ^-^
I was still trying to figure out how am I going to demonstrate my niqab style to an acquaintance, Maryam Azizuddin. Actually I can ask my husband to hold the video/camera for me and I can easily demonstrate but then I will have to edit the video/pictures so that my face wouldn't be seen. Well, what's the point of wearing niqab when your face can be seen online right.
Thinking of that, I just browse around youtube and came across some videos about different niqab styles. Maybe some of you have already seen them but never mind, I guess some are still don't. So, I will just embed them here for everyone to view and hopefully my friend, Maryam would find some ideas before I manage to show my style. Sorry my dear, you have to wait a bit longer.
Let's see one of the videos shall we?
Credit for this video should go to thevintagegoth. I think she's a new revert and she looks beautiful to me.
How was it?
Do you like it?
I'm going to try it at home this evening. I have a shayla but never wear it, maybe I can figure out how to do it like her with less pins.
Assalamualaikum. This is what I love about niqab. So many different styles and expressions and I got all this images from the world of Internet. I love collecting all this pictures as an inspiration and to make me feel stronger in my deen. Look at their eyes... they have so many untold stories.
