~Cousin's Wedding~

Salam ladies,

As I mentioned in a previous post one of my cousin's got married recently in  Sri Lanka. I was really sad that I couldn't attend her wedding. I never go to weddings I've been to like only 4 weddings in my entire life and I'm 21 so that's not many at all IMO.

Her wedding was at a really nice hotel and according to my family it was beautiful and great. I can't really say much about it since  wasn't there but I'll share some pictures instead.




This is how the bridal stage looked.(ignore the blob of white). I thought it was really pretty and I loved how all the colors went together.




This was her bouquet. I like the addition of the beigeish flowers and little red balls.



Lastly this was her dress. I thought it was really pretty it had really nice detailed designs on it and the sleeves are gorgeous. I've always had a thing for lace lol.

Oh right that's all for now, TTYL,

~Never to Late: Eid Outfit~

Salam Lovely Ladies,

I know Eid was like a month ago but today I decided to share my Eid outfit with you (better late then never right?)
I wore a shalwar kameez which is a traditional Indian outfit but we Sri lankans wear them too. A shalwar kameez is made up of 3 parts the top, the pants, and the scarf or duppata.

 The top was pink had long sleeves and designs on the bottom.
The pants were a really pretty blue (my fave color) and had designs near the ankles.
And lastly the duppata was blue with some pink and really big. I ended up tying it as my hijab. 

So that was my outfit for Eid not that fancy.

A week after Eid my cousin got married in Sri Lanka. I didn't get to go to the wedding but I was sent loads of pictures so I'll do a blog posting on it. So stay tuned.

BTW follow me on Instagram/twitter if you want!

Later Lovelies,

Job Interview Outfit Ideas for Hijabis


Salam ladies,
I have been going to tons of job interviews these days and everyday when I get dressed I stand in front of my closet wondering what I should wear. You want to give a good impression and have a cute outfit as well as be modest. So I thought I’d share some outfit ideas and tips.

If you are opting to wear pants pick a simple color like black or beige. Make sure they aren’t made out of denim. Jeans are a no no.

Wear a simple hijab. No funky patterns or crazy bold colors.

Bring a copy of your resume and cover letter even if they already have one.

Bring a nice roomy bag so you can put any papers they give you.

Wear flats. This is more of my preference you can wear heels if you want to but no sneakers. The reason I opt for flats is because I usually have to walk a lot to get to the place and wearing heels ends up killing my feet.

Below are two outfit ideas I put together. Not all the pieces need to be worn with that outfit I just put them there to give you ideas.
Outfit #1: Pants

If you are wearing pants like this outfit I would pick a different colored blouse so you don’t look like a blob of black. Make sure the blouse is long so it can be modest and hijab friendly. This outfit is pretty plain so you can add accessories like bracelets, necklaces, and rings to dress it up. Also I choose plain flats but you can opt for cuter heels if you prefer. You can add a blazer to this sort of outfit if you want.
Outfit #2: Dress

This outfit is more similar to what I would wear. I would wear a plain long maxi dress like this really cute purple one. I think you should stay away from funky or floral patterned dresses. I added a white blazer which makes the whole outfit more bussinessy (let’s pretend that’s a word). I choose white because I thought it would go well with the purple. If your dress is black, or grey I would recommend a more colorful blazer like pink, coral, or blue instead of a black blazer because black blazer on top of black dress would be way too much black in my opinion. You should definitely wear a watch and you can add bangles around it (I love arm candy!) (BTW I know I kind of went a little crazy on the bracelets on this outfit but I wouldn’t wear all of it. It’s just an idea of what you can use to accessorize your outfit.)    

So yeah those are my Job Interview outfit tips and ideas and I hope they helped. If you ladies have any ideas and tips let me know them I’m always looking for new ways to dress for interviews. Good Luck with your interviews and keep me in your duas. Inshallah we all find awesome jobs soon.

Allahafiz ladies,
