What's in that Magazine??

What's in this fall for accessories? According to the September issue of Fashion Magazine, bright and bold accessories are what it's all about. The photo shoot consisted of brightly beaded necklaces, and clutches, lipstick, with an emphasis on tights - bright yellow, bold reds, and even a pair of Pucci maroon fishnets with a floral design! Looking through this 10 page spread had even me wanting to put on a knee length leather coat and bright yellow tights!

Soooo... with bright accessories being 'what's up' right now, what's a hijabifashionista to do?

So I racked my brain and other magazines for hijabi friendly ideas that didn't consist of tights . For an evening, don't leave without a purple clutch or maybe fushia pumps. The malls are lined with stores selling boots in all sorts of crazy colors that are so popular this season that you don't need to be brave to wear them! (Not suggesting anything about you sisters not being brave, but for the sisters who find it hard to step out of that little fashion box, the colored boots make it easy for you because they're steppin' in!)

Just the other day, i saw a girl sporting bright blye boots that had me saying "masha allah!" ( and yes, I do praise god when it comes to fashion!). Ankle boots are everywhere and a must have this season so why not grab a pair in emerald green or red instead of the brown/black combination you always go for?

Other ways to incorporate bold brights this season;
--> Long Necklaces
--> Bangles and Cuffs
--> Belts!
--> Bags (oh the choices, the choices!)
--> Rings!
--> Your fall coat! (imagine that..ooh lala)
--> Gloves (if you're not buying a new fall coat and yours is a neutral, buy bright gloves!)
--> If you're into make up, think about incorporating a subtle gold into your eyes, a bright lip and when you aren't praying, a plum or cherry colored nail polish. I say plum for darker skin tones, and cherry for lighter ones - although you can just ask the cosmetician and she'll find one for you in either a cherry or a plum no matter your color!

Hijabi Fashionista Tip: According to runways like Gucci, and Dolce and Gabanna, brights all over are NOT what fall's all about. So incorporate them only into your accessories and or a coat. Don't go head to toe -- you'd be stepping over the line of bold yet fashionable to just plain old crazy. hahahhaha
