The Hijab

So, what made me want to write today's post is something I feel so strongly about. It is also something I see being mistreated and misinterpreted, which really upsets me; the Hijab!  The Hijab is a beautiful symbol of modesty and piousness that Allah (subhanahu wa Ta'ala) himself has told us to wear to cover ourselves and conserve our beauty and modesty with.  The Hijab is meant to cover the hair, ears, neck and chest area, and only the face is to be shown. However,these days the Hijab has become something girls play with and turn into a turban or a hat or just a flying cloth hanging by a pin.  While I believe that it is okay to dress it up and be fashionable in a modest way, I do not believe that a turban or just covering the hair and leaving the neck justifies the Hijab at all. In fact it has quite the opposite effect and I feel that it degrades it, especially when girls show their ankles and even higher above the ankle sometimes, as well as their nec...

DETAILS: ♥ Scarf  = Urban Culture ♥ Brown Snake Print Kimono = BOOHOO.COM ♥ Terracotta/ Marsala Jumpsuit = BOOHOO.COM ♥ Brown Snake Print belt = Chicabooti ♥ Brown leather bag = Vintage ♥ White shoes = Williams shoes (I got it a long time ago) ♥ Tiger tooth necklace = Lovisa Jewelry ♥  Ring set + Metalic Tattoo = Lovisa Jewelry ♥ Snake palm cuff  = Colette Hayman ♥ Gold watch = Guess ♥ Sunglasses = Models Prefer (Found at Priceline) Outfit Notes: ♥ The outfit for today was actually a bit unexpected, I literally stood in front of my cupboard for about 10 minutes before inspiration hit. ♥ The jumpsuit itself is chiffon and lined, it feels really nice on and it is made to be a little loose, the only problem is that I can't wear it by itself because it's a tad see through. So I have to always wear a longer item on top. It actually looks like i payed way more for it that what i actually di...

2015 NEW YEAR RESOLUTION/ Welcome

Image
Hello to anyone reading this, my first blog post of 2015, I would firstly like to acknowledge the awesomeness that was 2014. I had a great year in 2014, major ups and downs, I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl, started my masters at University and celebrated my 1st year wedding anniversary. That being said, I feel like I did not accomplish all that I wanted to that year due to some circumstances, so, I decided that 2015 is going to be my year. It will be the year where I will accomplish many things, Inshallah.  I have started this blog, in hopes that it will be able to keep me organised and formally tie me to my words, as well as it being an inspiration to someone else. I hope to be able to help someone somehow through my words, actions and posts.  A new beginning, a clear view and a fresh start starts now.  So now, my goals/ resolution for 2015 are as follows:  1- Be more organised 2- Start Youtube/blog 3- Eat healthy ...
