Eid Outfit :)
Salam
This is what we're loving this Eid.
This Fall + Winter Dark hues are going to take over the light colored styles of Spring and Summer. We love the dark greens, reds and purples. Pair those colors with a brown, cream or any other neutral and ta da! you have a to die for outfit.
For this outfit we have two heels to chose from, we couldn't decide, both go very well. So when you are making your version of this outfit, that choice is up to you :)
Have a fabulous Eid

DAS Collection
Salam
We recently found this amazing abbaya line while watching videos of Fashion week in Dubai. It's called the DAS Collection, a line started in 2008 by the Bejafla sisters, who live in the UAE
The abayas are gorgeous. Thankfully they are for sale! Each is made individually to fit your body type. The sisters take into account that the designs should not go against their religion by being too tight or revealing. Here are some pics to show you what we are talking about.
Heres the link to their website http://www.dascollection.com/

Square Hijab Vs. Wraparound Hijab
Salam,
As hijabi's, there are countless options as to color, fabric and even design for our scarf choices. But in General; there are only two hijab shapes, the square and the rectangle. Sometimes you can find a triangle scarf that does not need to be folded in half, or a pull on..but very few people use them and even fewer are found.
If you are unsure of which hijab type may suit your face shape best or which one is better in general for use, continue reading our pro's and con's article about square vs. rectangle hijabs.
The Square Hijab:
This hijab shape is suitable for everyone; but when it comes down to either square or rectangle, the square scarf better suits round shaped heads. This is because, when worn, the square scarf has a pointy tip at the top, elongating the face. If your face is already long in shape, this will only help exxagerate the length. And if you have a rounder,shorter, face this will help give some length. But this does not mean that people with long faces should stray from this style, because it is very simple to wear and can easily be adjusted at the top to help suit your face shape. Tucking in the corners, of the scarf, at your jaw line, will help shorten the tip at the top of your scarf and in return create a better shape for longer faces. Tying the scarf without any folds near the jaw will elongate the tip at the top, making your face seem longer, creating a better style for shorter faces. The square hijabs are very easy to wear and take virutally no time at all to put on. They are very neat, light weight and have many ways to wear them, such as the "tie back style" or the "wrap one side up style", "knot the two ends style" and even the "side bow style". The one problem with square scarfs is that if you have bangs and dont clip them back securely, they can start coming out after a while from the top and the sides, and become very irratating.
The Rectangle Hijab:
Most of the rectangle hijabs are known as pashminas and are worn in the Shayla style (wrap around). Again, anyone can wear this style, but it is preffered for people with longer faces. This is because the wrap around hugs your face nice and snug, and the cap worn underneath (to hide mini hairs), covers some of your forehead, creating an illusion that your face is a bit shorter than it actually is. If a round faced person were to wear this style, then their face would just be more shortened. But because this is a very popular style, especially for more formal outfits, to help elongate your face, you can wear the scarf without an undercap, folding the front of the scarf to curve the part that goes across your forehead and fold small creases near your jaw line to help create a pointed tip at the top of the scarf. This way, you can wear the wrap around style and still help keep it to a style that benefits your face shape. The wrap around scarf takes a bit more time to wear in general, so if you are opting for something super fast and easy, not so formal and bulky, the wrap around isn't as ideal. But, after wearing it a few times, you can get pro at it and do it faster. But I still doubt that anyone can get it on faster and neater than they can a square style. 
There is no better hijab shape between rectangle and square...when it comes down to it, it all depends on your face shape. But even then, you can adjust your scarf to have it fit and suit your face shape the best it can. So anyone can wear any style, all you need to do is make sure of some things. Here is the list of those things in case you're confused:
Short/Round Face:
- Have a bit of a tip at the top to help keep your face from looking really small
- To do so, tuck in the corners of your scarf at the jaw line
- Fold the front of your scarf so it is curved and easier to create a tip
- Dont wear bulky scarfs (keeps your face from looking fat/heavy)
- Lighter scarves are recomended
Longer/Thinner Face:
- Fold a bit of the scarf inward towards your jawline to help decrease the pointed tip, this will help keep your face from looking too long
- wear a hijab cap or bandana under your scarf to cover a little bit of your forehead (to give an illusion your face is a bit shorter than it really is)
- Light scarves are okay to wear, but you can wear a bulky scarf to give some weight to your face and balance out your frame.

Modern Hijabi: Spring and Summer 2010
Salam
This spring and summer there are a lot of trends to look out for. Animal prints, vintage pieces, jeans, leather, bold colors, neutral colors, geometric shapes, floral patterns, boyfriend fit clothes, and my favorite blazers. Although the styles out there right now contradict each other, (i.e bold prints vs. neutrals), theres something out there for everyone! Not to mention a lot of the stuff is loose and baggy.
So sisters, go and take advantage A lot of the stuff you purchase now will always be in because there are so many styles to choose from.
Heres a few pics with this spring and summers in style outfits for hijabis :)
This is a casual outfit - Trends you can spot would be the leopard prints and the leather
This is a bit more fancy than the last outfit - choose your own color of hijab, pick a color that would bring out the flowers on the skirt..like a deep purple. Trends you can spot here are vintage floral patters, leather and the blazer
This outfit is very chic. It can be casual or fancy, depends on the way you dress it up. Trends you can spot here is the blazer, layered top, ankle boots, vintage clutch bag and even the armor ring :)

Mini Skirts
Salam,
You would think that a hijabi can't wear a mini skirt...and you'd be 100% correct if you were reffering to the normal way it is worn around the world. But there is a new mini skirt out there that is, in my opinion, the best way to make your outfits longer :)
They have an elastic band around the top so you can easily slide it on, and keep it on, but they flare on the lower half so it isn't tight. You would wear a top under, the mini skirt on top (a little below your chest and little above your hips), and skinny jeans/pants under. This creates an illusion that the skirt and top actually is a long one peice top.
You can get them in any girl stores in America and Canada as far as I know. They are super handy, I myself have about 4 pairs. You can get them in any color, pattern and design (flare fit, straight fit, tight fit..we don't really recommend the tight fitted ones).
You can wear a long sleeve T under or a tanktop or t-shirt then a cardigan on top. You can wear skinny jeans or straight legs under because the skirt usually comes up to a little above your knees. Its fashionable and modest. You should wear a pashmina type scarf or a wrap around on top to cover your chest area if the top under your skirt is tight fitting. Dont forget to accessorize!
