~Flowers are blooming, Birds are Chirping, Spring is Here!~

Hey everybody!!

Well Spring is here and it’s time to Springify our wardrobes!! To tell you the truth I don’t really change my wardrobe around that much season to season but I do like to buy some pieces if I really love the trend. I am going to discuss some spring 2011 trends we hijabis can work into our wardrobe!

First off wide leg pants and bell bottoms are back in!! This is good news for us hijabis because flared pants are way better and more modest then skinny jeans!!

Another trend is lace!! That’s’ easy for us to work into our wardrobe you can use lace headbands and lace hijabs. You can also take a lace dress like the ones below and pair it with a cardigan or long sleeved shirt underneath and pants. I especially love this trend and will be getting myself a lace dress very soon!  

Tail hems are also in! This is when the back of a dress is longer in the back then the front. This can also be incorporated into our wardrobe! I tend to wear short dresses as tops over pants so just get yourself some dresses with tail hems to wear over pants and be hijab friendly!

Some trends that would be really easy to work into our wardrobes and you may already have are stripes, tassels, and maxi dresses. Maxi dresses are one trend we shouldn’t let go so all of you should rock your maxi dresses this spring!

  

One trend I haven’t figured out a way to make hijab friendly is the crop top. Whenever I go shopping I see crop tops in many colors and designs. I was thinking maybe you can wear a long sleeved long shirt underneath and the crop top on top but that wouldn’t be the most modest thing to do. Anybody have any ideas of how to make these hijab friendly? I don’t think it’s possible and we should just stay clear of them.

Thats it for today TTYL

~Vampires and French Fries~

Hey

I feel like being a Muslim in a "western" coutnry we have to deal with the issue of Halal and Haram all the time. I've been told so many times something or another is haram and we can't eat it and it's like my most favorite thing ever! For example Starburst I loved it I used to eat it all the time when I was younger it was so fruity and tasty then I found out its haram and havent eaten it since.

I was told today that McDonald's fries are haram because its fried in beef oil! Well when I went on the McD's website they said they fry it in vegeable oil but it does contain beef flavoring which the website says has wheat and milk derivatives. What does that mean? What is beef flavoring is it real beef or is it something else? IDK. So in conclusions I don't know if the fries are halal or haram but to be safe the only thing we can eat in McDs is the Fillet o'Fish.

Do any of you read the Vampire Academy books? I just read the last book in the series Last Sacrifice and i love that series! =] I liked that the author Ricehlle Mead actually used her imagination and made up her own species of Vampires. If any of you like vampire books I def recommend you guys go read this series. I was so sad it ended =[ (If any of you guys are interested I can start doing book reviews on books I read!)

~A Miracle of the Aytal Kursi~

Hey Everybody,

So yesterday I was at the Muslim Student Center at my school for Zuhr prayer and after I prayed I was just hanging out talking with the other sisters. This one sister told us this story that she said was true and she read about it in a newspaper. And the story really made me feel....idk how to say it but here's the story. I heard this from someone who said its true but Idk all the details.

This muslim girl came out of class really late and it was getting dark and she didn't want to be late so she decided to take this short cut through an alley. So she was walking and she saw this guy who kept eyeing her and she could tell he wanted to do something bad to her. The girl got scared and said the aytal kursi. The guy didn't do anything to her and she got home safely. At home she told her family what happened and then she saw in the newspaper a story about a girl who was raped in the same alley so her parents told her to call the police and report the guy she saw. The police told her the description she gave is just like the description the rape victim gave. A few days later the police asked her to come and identify the guy. The rape victim was there too and both identified the same guy. The police then asked the guy why'd you rape her and not her? The guy answered "Why would I rape her when she was walking with two big guys on both sides of her?"

This really made me appreciate and say the aytal Kursi more its a really great thing and its so wonderful how Allah works =]

Does anybody else have any interesting and awesome stories about the aytal kursi? Please share.

Hey!!

I can't believe todays the last day in February! You know how when a new year comes around everyone makes resolutions/goals that they are going to try and accomplish that year. Well, I have two goals I'm going to try and accomplish this new month of March.

1) Do more blog posts!!!!

2) Stay on top of things for school and not fall behind. I tend to fall behind with readings since I'm taking a bunch of English classes that entails a bunch of reading!

We'll see how this goes when April comes!

Anyway these past few days have been rainy where I live and I hate this type of weather. Friday i had a horrible day it was really gloomy outside and I felt to tired to go to classes but I couldn't miss class because I missed classes the week before when I had a stomach virus (which was HORRIBLE =[ I hate throwing up.) So I went. On my way in the morning the stupid bus splashed water all over me and i was soaked!! I was really mad and that just boguht my whole day down its really icky being in wet clothes =/ luckily it dried.

I need to catch up on Pretty Little Liars I really love that show. Does anybody watch it? I've read all the books and I was so excited to watch the series which btw is totally different from the books. So if you have read the books the series will keep you guessing because they are taking the series in a whole different path then the books. Sara Shepard is a genius I read the first book for her new series The Lying Game and it was gooood!!

Here's todays OOTD!! This is my 2nd one so exciting =]

I really love the top I'm wearing cuz it's long sleeves and really loose and comfortable. It has a dropped waist and little button designs which I think are cute.  My outift turned out perfectly color coordintaed eventhough I just put it together because these are my most comfortable pieces. I like when things just work out together. I added a little bow on my hijab because my outfit felt so plain. I wore this today to class and to run errands it was really comfy and that's my number one priority!

Top: Old Navy

Cardi: Macy's

Jeans: Kohls

Shoes: Payless

Hijab: Pearl Daisy

Ring: Claire's

Bow Accesory: Forever 21

Coat: Burlington

OK so now i'm going to go and finish up my reading for class so I can achieve my 2nd goal of not falling behind! Thank for reading =]

~Outfit of The Day #1, Randomness~

Hello Out there can you hear me!!!

I know its been like forever since i've posted on here! Happy New Year! Yea I know i'm like 1 month late.

I'm starting to get back in the flow of having classes since college has started once again. Yesterday I went and officaly declared my second major!! Drum Roll Please.....Now I am a English/Psychology Major Woot woot! Hopefully I can finish up everything by my intended graduation date then here I come Grad school.

Anyway so this past week has been my first week of being a hijabi in school. I was thinking of posting outift of the day pics and talking about them but idk no one really reads my ramblings so I don't know. Maybe i'll do a couple and see what happens....

Top: Rainbow

Jeans: Kohls

Scarf/Bracelet:? Random small store.

I wore Timberland boots with this outift bc there was way too much snow for me to wear any cute shoes =[ I had a coat and gloves and a random tote with my books that didn't really go with the outift!

~Birthday, HP, Hijabs, and Finals~

Happy Birthday to me!!!

Today’s my birthday but it sucks because I have an essay due tonight and I have to study for finals so no birthday fun for me. At least I got cake lol. I am excited I got some nice presents!!! I got this really cute makeup set called Glamour is Golden by Estee Lauder! Its really pretty here’s a link to the set-->  Estee Lauder Glamour is Golden!!!.

Anyway I’m working on an essay and it’s really a pain idk what to write so I’m taking a break.

I have decided to take my time and reread the Harry Potter series. The other times I read it I rushed through them trying to find out what’s going to happen. And when I went to see the movie I actually forgot stuff that happened and I was surprised so I decided I need to reread the books slowly so that’s why I’m doing. I’m up to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire right now.

        So in my past posts I talked about wearing a hijab and how I’m going to do it in like January but actually I started kind of wearing it now. I just wear it like a shayla but I am learning new styles and so I can wear it properly soon. Nowadays I find myself buying scarves when I go shopping I actually have a little collection. It’s not like a real hijabis hijab collection but I definitely am collecting now I have like 20 scarves so far. I need to get myself some plain ones though.

I have also hijabified my wardrobe! I find myself buying short dresses these days which you can wear with jeans underneath and totally be modest. All you need is a couple of long sleeve T-shirts to wear underneath short/sleeveless tops, and cardigans to wear over and your wardrobe can be totally changed to a hijab friendly wardrobe.   

                Anyway I should get back to my essay.

Buh Byes!!!

~December, Cyber Monday and Harry Potter~

First off I admit I lost the project 365 challenge and I know I haven’t written in so long I’m not even going to waste my time trying to explain why. Anyways, it’s December and that means my birthday, snow, finals, hot chocolate, holidays, jolly people, shopping…..and the list goes on and on! I really love this time of year. Other then finals everything else that represents December is awesome. I really love the fact that everybody is in a good mood around this time and then after new years it gets gloomy.

            I know Thanksgiving was a couple of weeks ago but I feel like it was yesterday! I had loads of fun that weekend I saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1!! I love HP! I’m so sad that after the next part there will be no more Harry Potter to look forward too. I feel like Harry’s a huge part of my childhood. I’ve been reading the books since 4^th grade and now it’s going to end. Anyway back to the movie it was AWESOME!!! You couldn’t even blink because if you did you would have missed something, that’s how action-packed it was. If no one has seen it yet I totally recommend it. Go see it.

            Did anybody go black Friday shopping? I didn’t but I did go cyber Monday shopping. BTW cyber Monday is like the black Friday for the internet a lot of websites had huge deals, discounts and free shipping! Oh and Black Friday if you don’t know what that is, it is the hugest shopping day in the US almost all stores have some kind of sale and very cheap prices. So on cyber Monday Forever 21 was having this thing where if you buy one sale apparel you got one for free so of course I bought some stuff because who doesn’t like free. I got this tote from AE for $!5 which I thought was awesome and 2 books from Amazon. I still haven’t gotten the stuff from Forever 21 yet it’s been over a week now! That’s the one downside of shopping online waiting for what you ordered to come.

           

            So anyway I think I have ranted enough so I’m going to stop typing! Take Care
