Weekend outing!

Salam!

Here is one of my look when I'm out having brunch or coffee with my friends.

I wore this dress for a very casual brunch at IKEA Mutiara Damansara. So I had to keep my look very minimal because you do not want to be overdressed to a place where the crowd only put on their sweat shirt and shorts only.

For this casual outing I had on me:

1. Plain teal dress from Nichi

2. Esprit denim jeans in blue

3. Grey ballerina shoe from Crocs

4. Printed chiffon scarf in yellow from my very own EL.humaira (EL.humaira collections are made by me!)

Tips:

Do not afraid to play with the color. Sometimes, contrast color can look great too! Wear your printed bright scarf with your plain clothes as one of your accessories!

Can hijabi wear short dresses?

Salam!

I know most hijabi out there have short dresses to be worn with pants and leggings right? This is actually one of my favourite styles because I always have a thing with cute short dresses. Although they are short, that does not means we, hijabi cannot wear them. Just mix and match with pants, legging or wear them with your boots and yeayyy!! You are all covered up! For those who still hesitate to wear short dresses, give it a try soon!

Owh I love this dress very very much. Wore this to my friend’s birthday at some cool café (I forget the name! hehe). The material is Lycra so it drapes beautifully. And yes… I love printed dresses like this very very very much! It suits my personality and it is so DINA!

Let’s see what I wore that night

1. Knee-length dress from Supre paired with black legging

2. Soft pink tudung bawal (the material is actually voile)

3. Diana Ferrari calf length high heel boots in brown leather (bought at 50% less!! Luv it!!)

4. Pink pearl necklace from Diva and some cheap beads bangles from Cotton On!

Tips:

1. Printed from top to toe is BIG NO NO! You do not want to look like a rose garden, don’t you? So always pair up plain and printed stuff. If you have all plain from top to toe, do accessorize!

2. Know where you go and the crowd you are going to hit!

3. For hot places like Kuala Lumpur, it is not advisable to wear boot higher than your ankle. So you can opt for your normal shoe or ankle lenght boot and pair it with same color sock. See, you got your boot look already!

3. Last but not least, LESS IS MORE BUT NOTHING MEANS NOTHING! If you feel like you are over accessorize, take off one of your accessories and you are ready to go. But if you have nothing, that means you have NOTHING! Nothing cannot be more because it is nothing there!

So you got it? Dresses are meant for us hijabi, too!

SYIRA - Featured Friend

Salam!

This is Dina's beloved sister-in-law, Syira. This was her look for her department dinner at Kelab Golf Perkhidmatan Awam last month. She was very excited about the dinner that she spent a lot just for the night and been talking and planning for the night way months before the event! She even booked me to do her make up and keep reminding me for not making plans on the day so i could do her make up.Glad she loved my work for the make up.(sorry the photo not so clear!)

Being a young and career mother to three boys is not an easy job. I adore her for taking care of the family especially the boys, my cute naughty and adorable nephews while she has a full time demanding job. So she does not have all the time in the world to dress up all the time. You might see her in her very simple style. So when she told me she wanted to dress up and having fun that night i felt so excited! Of course i will make u look good sis!

So here what she wore that night:

1. Infinity dress from Envee, MidValley Megamall.

2.Unknown long-sleeve inner t-shirt

3. 3-tone (purple, deep purple and pink) long hijaab definitely from my EL.humaira collection (she is one of my most loyal customer!)

4.Studded purple high-heels form Primavera

5. Pearls necklace and brooch to accessorise the dress and clutch (i don't know where she bought the stuff..sorry!)

Tips from her look:

1. Spend your money wisely: invest in infinity dress is a good idea so you can wear them for many many times with different style without people notice that it actually come from the same piece of dress! All you need is to tie the dress differently accessorise with brooches or scarf.

2. Get multicolor hijaab: so you can mix and match the hijaab with multiple dresses and looks. No point buying 1 hijaab that you can only wear one dress only.

3. Eye makeup: for all hijaabi, do sharpen your eyes with deep eye makeup and colored lense! Then you are ready to go!


I will borrow her dress soon and show you how to wear them differently here!
