RUSY - FEATURED FRIEND

Salam!

RUSY, we can never get enough!

Her tips :

"spice it up with belts, necklace and heels. In this look, I stick to basic colours ie. black and grey but I go a little bit wild with the accessories. "

She also mentioned bright colours are good with 'dull' outfits!

I particularly love this look because of the high (long) skirt with that high-waisted belt!

Tinggi rupa kamu rusy :p

i really think I could take her look and just put it on me :) hehe. love!

YUNI - Featured Friend

Salam!

This is Yuni, a friend I met in Melbourne. She is tall and could get away with being a model, actually. But she opt to be a super amazing shooter in netball instead. hehe. I loved your blue toned long skirt outing the other day, picture?



She is wearing :

1. It's called baju kimono style.. very simple and comfy... (I have to ask her where she specifically bought it)
2. Super chunky necklace, great with whites


Her tips :

Wear high waist pants/jeans/skirts (if you have "spare tyre") such a good do for a relaxing weekend out.

I think i have a similar top, I bought it from ECLIPSE years ago. If I find a picture, I'll post it up ! When you wear white, you could get away with colourful accessories, and bright hijabs. Post us some pictures if you've tried!

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!

Salam!

I went for picnic at Royal Botanical Garden with friends and ducks and lotsa labelled plants and thought because the day was sunny, I should wear blueeeee (cause I felt like it)!


I wore :

1. Dress from ISHKA, Chadstone (it is cotton, cooling and i totally love the prints!)
2. Comfy black pants from Marks and Spencer, Singapore.
3. No shoes (while playing monkey ball!).
4. Oh turquoise hijab bought in Kelantan I think.



I also brought along :

1. my very very very pretty umbrella, which I bought in Sydney at a Chinese shop (its actually sold in Victorian-vintage small shops in Melbourne too)
2. My stainless steel silver bangle, from mama
3. My sister's mixed bangles (it is literally an Indian culture, have you seen them wear 20 on their wrists?)
4. Some fun :)

Tips :
When you buy a printed dress, eep everything else simple, and pop up the motif through colours of your hijab!

I want to go picnic again! Wonder if there's another colour of that printed top in ISHKA. hm.

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!

colourful stripes

Salam!

This is how I ended up having this distracting, clown-looking, coloured sweater (+hoodie).

We (Mama and Y) were at Rip Curl at Swanston St and I said, who on earth would be in their right mind would want to walk around this colourful.

That is a true story by the way.

Then the Mama said oh that's nice, bought it for me and tadaaaaaaaaa because "you" don't wanna waste "your" mama's $, "you" ended up using it.. to Tulips festival!

To try and not distract (further) attention:

1. The hooded sweater from RIPCURL is matched with,
2. Skin-coloured hijab and
3. VERY VERY (ONE OF MY VERY VERY FAVOURITE) comfortable slack from Adidas.
4. And skin-coloured sandals from Crocs!
5. That white sling bag was bought in Indonesia, costing my purse only RM$4.

Tips :

If you can get away being colourful, go for it. Be careful cause you might look like a clown. Tone it down!

I am already a clown, its allright by me !
