OOTD | Earthy Tones

Salaams girlies!

So I don't usually do outfit of the day posts but after a request I thought I might aswell =D

I just wore this to go to Morrisons with my mum (normally I'd just wear black abaya with a black hijab but I hadn't been outta my nighty for almost a week and I felt like I needed to make an effort)

The bag is from a random bag shop in North London but it comes under the 'Troop London' brand, I like the size & colour of this bag. It's not too big and it's not too small so it can carry some of my junk lol. I think it cost around £25 ish

The bangle was a gift from a friend at school (almost 4 or 5 years ago) but it was from Clairs Accessories.

The hijab is a maxi Jersey hijab from Primark and it's a sort of tan neutral colour it cost around £4 same goes for the kilt pin brooch (which you have seen in one of my Lazy Sunday posts from before).

The Heart shaped brooch is from Peral Daisy and is one of my fave accessories! I just used it to close my cardi as it didn't have any buttons or anything.

The abaya is from Lawung, which I bought at GPU in 2008 I think, it's my favourite abaya and I have not found one like this since!

The cardigan is my sisters (which I ~~borrowed~~ sshhh) I don't know where it's from.

So that was my outfit of the day.

Salaam!

Hijab Style's To Suit Your Face Shape

So you're trying to follow a hijab tutorial but your hijab just doesn't look like the person doing the tutorial, you get frustrated because you can't get it right. Well to be honest I don't think it's so much you getting it wrong, it may just be that the hijab style being demonstrated looks better on the person doing the tutorial due to the shape of that person's face. Just like when you need to get a haircut, when styling your hijab, you have to consider the shape of your face. I've had many people tell me that hijab doesn't 'suit' them because their face is too round, or their cheeks are too chubby, which is the reason why they don't wear hijab, in my opinion hijab suits everyone, you just have to figure out how to wear it to suit you. Contrary to what many think, hijab wasn't prescribed to make you look 'ugly' it is to make you look modest. In this post I have tried to look at some face shapes and find some hijab style i

Beauty Review | FW Beauty Skincare

I finally got around to writing up this much requested post on the products I bought from FWBeauty, the reason I haven't written something sooner is because I believe it's important to be using a skincare product for a while before reviewing it, as most skincare products don't give significant results after just one or two uses. I've been following the founders of FW Beauty Fatiha and Yasmine's journey online for a while now and I love seeing how successful they are becoming. They talk about their products with so much passion and confidence that I had to meet them in person and try out their skincare products. If you've been following me on Instagram you'll know that I attended the Muslim Lifestyle Show a few weeks ago and picked up the FW Beauty skincare products that I've been dying to try ever since I saw the glowing reviews. They had everything at a reduced price and I picked up the clear complexion bar, the gold elixir brightening facial

I Took My Driving Test!

Salaam all, I recently took my practical driving test and I thought I would share my thoughts and feelings of that day with you inshaAllah. On Wednesday the 18th I had my driving test. I had practiced all I could and now the rest was down to Allah swt. I tried to keep myself calm by telling myself that whatever happens it is Allah's will and if I don't pass then maybe this time I wasn't supposed to. As I stood for Taraweeh that night my heart was pounding as I asked Allah to keep me safe on the road and also for me to pass. After praying I felt a lot calmer and soon enough fell asleep. Woke up for Suhoor, prayed Fajr and tried to go back to sleep. All I could think about was how much I wanted to pass, not because I really want to drive or anything, but just because taking lessons was taking up a lot of my time and money that I could spend on other things. As well as taking up my parents time and my uncle's. I got a couple of hours of sleep and woke up bright and
