Hijabi Store!!!!!!!!!

OOOOO KAY! So I posted on this a whiiiiiillleee back off of a promotional vid on youtube. The store was called Vharda and I'm pretty sure it was a "holy designers" forever continuing post. ANYWAY! I believe this store is one of the best stores that are FOR hijabis. I mean, you can always shop anywhere online and look for tunics and tops, etc. but on Vharda.com they have really cute and chic tunics dresses, hijabs, AND a trench I want!

It also has a super cute layout - somewhere I really advise you to visit. The prices you ask? AMAZING! Like,.... the forever 21, or H&M solely for hijabis.

They do however have a few areas that need to be stocked but insha allah it'll be all done soon!

Trend Update: solution to the "jeans" problem




A few season's past, I posted on how wide leg jeans are the solution to the hijabi jeans problem (too tight, too controvercial) and I have included them in most of my outfits. But besides a skirt, a dress, a abaya, dress pants, and wide legs- there is yet another solution to add to the list (and hijabis say the don't have enough choices.. tsk tsk)...




The solution?


THE BOYFRIEND TROUSER




Just like straight leg, boot cut, skinny, wide leg, etc., the boyfriend trouser is just another cut - another hijabi friendly cut that is!
I feel like stealing a pair of my brother's pants... confession time? I actually have tried them on, and the looseness actually worked- just like this boyfriend trouser.




Above are photos of some celebrities and models rocking the cut.




A store I know for a fact that sells them; the gap




.. if you can't find a gap (for whatever odd reason hehe), then go into any asian clothing store -if they're "hip imports" from what the girls over there where, then the store should carry them.

Indie Pendant Stylist

You march down those streets dressed the way you want- the way you feel comfortable - in your own style. Marching to the beat of your own drum - fashionably! Now sisters, as hijabis - you're already doing that! But to make your look different from that other hijabi modestly strutting her stuff down the street, wear pieces you love - and don't give a damn.

These are pieces I love. The dress and the sandals. I found the dress at brownsfashion.com but it's 800 pounds! Maybe one day insha allah... haha but not today, that's for sure! ... well, unless you have an 800 pounds lying around you're in the mood to do a good deed and mail me the dress. You're like , "yeah. Right. "

If you do like the dress, and have that 800 pounds, then go for it here:

THe dress is a little formal for the street, so maybe for eid or a party. For the street I would probably put a vest over it, wear some bangles and long necklaces to tone it down from formal and up to boho.

Looking to buy new shoes? Gladiator sandals will be good for some of fall and the rest of the summer!

Adding a few touches to hijabi fy that outfit!

A lot of the time - even when I'm watching television, I see a woman wearing an outfit and I think... all she needs is a hijab and a long sleeve top and she would be a stunning hijabifashionista! A friend of mine told me that at the masjid in her city, they would add a hijab or an accessory to a sister who walked into the doors to make their outfit more fashionable (like, how cool is that yarr??).

Thus, I thought I would do the same with these street style images I found. Let's dissect my work!

Printed dress on left outfit:
-->I didn't want to just continue the dominant color of green in the longsleeve top, so I noticed
the brown belt she was wearing (very good choice on her part) and put the long sleeve top in that color. I did the same for the hijab.

--> I'm in LOVE with ankle boots so I put those in, but you could go with any sandal that coordinates with the style.. a gladiator sandal is just soo nice this season.

--> I was getting a laid back, boho, easy - breezy vibe from her, so I decided a couple of bangles would really make the outfit and colors stand out more. Plus, with these two little touches, it seems like you spent more time on your outfit rather than just throwing over a dress and long sleeve.


For the calve length skirt on the right:
--> boots to cover up that skin!

--> long sleeve top underneath to cover up in case you take off the blazer at work or where ever, or just to cover those inches of skin in the arms

--> I love it when hijabis wear a scarf on their head and another on their neck. Just like last fall, everyone's going to be wearing pashminas or shemagh-inspired scarves around their necks - there's no reason you can't either!

-->a black hijab because you're wearing a scarf on your neck.

HijabiFashionista tip:
when in doubt, wear a black hijab. For the fall season, what's the new black? Black.


RUDE AWAKENING: Make sure you aren't going to the masjid or going to pray where ever you're going when wearing this outfit, or as many sisters pointed out in their comments - you'll surprise yourself and every other sister at the masjid when you realize you can't pray with your legs showing! HAHAH.. wear it between prayers...!

Street style - hijabified!

So I'm back, throwing more hijabi-fied street style your way! Here's how I created this outfit from the outfit that fashionista is wearing to our left.


I saw the trench first - Oh boyy I love longer jackets and coats.
--> Her's is more of a light olive green/gray but I didn't follow the outfit to the letter so I chose another neutral - biege!

Then I thought, her navy blue dress is to gray as.. _____ is to biege.. BROWN!
--> She's wearing a unique belt on the dress, but I decided let's just go with a unique dress and forget the belt.

Then.. turqouise is to navy as ___ is to brown... GOLD!
--> Shabaaam! and then a gold clutch was chosen!

Ohhh! Loving the pop of color in the shoes! Red, navy, grays... biege, brown, gold, ORANGE!

Then of course a hijabi doesn't wear tights like that so trousers it was, and for the final touch - sunglasses.

Try out the method I created above yourself with a street style photo of your choice and then pieces from YOUR wardrobe! How fun!
