How to Hijab Series

Welcome to Hijabi Style, Al Muhajaba El Aniqa's Blog on how to wear hijab!

{Belted Abaya}

So, many of you know that we're working on Her Modesty's debut Islamic clothing collection. The thought of a belted abaya has come across my mind several times but I'm not sure how it would look on the body.

I found this belted abaya at Jelbab and because it's shown on a mannequin, I can't really tell how it would look on a body. Do any of you have a belted abaya or have you seen one? How does it look and fit?

{Riding Boots}

I'm more of a pump girl myself but this season, the Equestrian trend is big and thus we have the riding boot.

Are you loving or leaving this style?

{My Eid Outfit}

This is my Eid outfit. Purple and black are two of my favorite colors and I added some silver accessories to dress it up. I included the shirtdress in last month's issue of Her Modesty Magazine, but it's actually a lot richer in color than it appears to be online. As for the ring, the one pictured here is not the exact one that I bought, but it is similar. My ring is a bit more fabulous, if I do say so myself!

{I'm Back}

Salaam ladies! I have been itching to make a post... I really missed ya'll!

Thanks for all of your emails and comments. It's nice to see that you all really enjoy the blog. Inshallah, this week will be flooded with posts because I feel the need to catch up. Also, the November issue of the Islamic Clothing magazine will be up by Friday inshallah, along with a newsletter. (There will be no October issue of the magazine because it's already the middle of the month.)

Enjoy!!

{Breaking for Ramadan}

Salaam ladies!

I just wanted to let you know that Her Modesty will be taking a short break. I want to observe the last 10 (or 9) days of Ramadan without any distractions other than school. So inshallah, I will see you all on October 15th with the fashions that we love and the October newsletter. A new issue of Her Modesty Magazine will also be online shortly thereafter.

Until then, please spread the word about Her Modesty the Islamic Clothing Blog and the Islamic Fashion Magazine. And this is a great time for you HM fans to catch up on all the posts that I've done on the blog!

Thank you so much for reading the blog and I hope that all of you Muslimahs have a beneficial Ramadan and a Happy Eid! Take care everyone.

{Article: Beauty Under The Burqa}

I came across this NYTimes/Reuters article about an Afghani version of America's Next Top Model for Muslim girls.

Excerpt:
...almost all women in deeply conservative Afghanistan still only appear in public wafting past in the burqa's pale blue, their dark eyes only occasionally visible behind the bars of its grille.

But in the relatively liberal northern Afghan city of Mazar-i-Sharif, a local television station has started to show a different image of Afghan women with an extremely low-budget take on the hit "America's Next Top Model," a reality TV show in which judges choose prospective models from a group of contestants over several weeks.
