Elegant Maxi dresses

Serbian desinger Roksanda Ilincic has delivered these beautiful pieces. I love the colours and silhouette these dresses have. I'm really starting to appreciate the whole 'just add a blazer' look for a more chic presence.

Finally!

At long last a long sleeved loose top! Found it on the General Pants website. Its an Agent 99 top which you can get for $39.95 a top or 2 for $50...Im opting for the 2 for $50 coz seriously you aint gona find something like this again for a long time.

New in for Zara

For all you frequent jet-setters here is the latest from Zara..the much loved Spanish chain. We should start lobbying for this store to be in Australia. But I must say if we could get the middle-eastern stock of the clothes it would be even better. Every product from the european stores are sold with extra sleeves for the arabs..pretty smart. pretty nice.

So start ringing up your relos overseas and score yourself some of this hijabi friendly clothes :)

Now for the guests!

K so i got the bride cover...what about the guest? Esp if your direct family of the bridal party you will know that you get just as much scrutiny as the bride. Ergo your choice of attire needs to be researched and planned just as intensely as the bride.You dont wana get a pinch from your grandma if the tiniest bit of flesh is showing now do ya....trust me it hurts.

Got a few gallabiyas and some haute couture mixed up in there. Now to tackle the next issue...hijab colour and style!

Pretty bride in white

For the past 4yrs there has been an ongoing supply of weddings in my family. Like alhamdulillah and all but the constant attention spent on looking and browsing through magazines for that perfect dress can be a full time job. With my sister getting married soon inshalla i began to wonder and search for myself some muslim friendly wedding gowns, may it be for a hijabi or not. The following are some i've picked up on my regular internet perusal..i really need a paying job.

enjoy :)
