Eid Hijabi Outfit Inspiration - That Dress

Aslm Ladies

A few weeks ago I attended the Runway show hosted by Sumaya Adams where I had the pleasure of discovering this gem. Seeing this Assymmetric Grecian Dress was love at first sight, I immediately knew I had to have it. So I’ve been playing around in my head with ideas of what to pair this beauty with and come up with this lovely ensemble perfect for Eid.

I feel like placing my order right now!!!

The dress is available at Dressed by Sumaya at a very, very reasonable cost of R350.00
You girls can find her here :) Dressed by Sumaya Adams

Weekly Hijabi Outfit Inspiration - Mint Condition

Aslm Beauties

Here's my latest set, I am inlove with this bag (It's from guess BTW), wish I could have it and I am not even hinting - my husband does not read my blog I dont think he even really knows what a blog is lol, and he is the only one that would buy me a bag that expensive.

Anyways love the bag and the top I am hoping to make this top myself soon, I'll be sure to keep all of you posted on the outcome. I plan to pair it with jeans the way I did here.

 

Love the look, hope you do too.

Reaching for My Dream

Hello lovelies.

Ramadaan Kareem to my Muslim readers may you have a blessed Ramadan Insha Allah.

I know it’s been a while and many of you have been asking me on BBM and email when I’ll be blogging again but I have just been waaay to busy these days.

Please accept my apology, in my defence though I told you I am a busy girl

So to add to the lunacy I have I have taken on yet another endeavour, however it is something I’ve wanted to do for the longest time.

I have enrolled to study FASHION DESIGN & GARMENT CONSTRUCTION

Since I can remember I have been designing my own dresses for EID. (it’s always a dress those of you who know me know that I seldom wear pants. I’m a lady like that!!) My dear mother would construct the garment for me and when she gave up on my crazy complicated designs there was always my Aunty Weyah who deserves a post on her own BTW for all the dresses she’s made me through the years matric ball and wedding dress included.

So some time close to the end of June I started googling part time courses in fashion design and to my surprise not many popped up.
Be as it may I settled with a school ‘INTEC’ was the chosen one, as the distance learning feature was favourable to me. I walked in there set up a payment plan and refused to put off my dream once more Algamdulilah:)

The qualification will take me 2 years but we gotta start somewhere right. My daddy always says Rome wasn’t built in a day.

It’s always been a hobby of mine, I am so passionate about this and can go on and on forever about how badly I have been wanting this.
Fact is it is here! I am ecstatic! Life is good!

Wish me luck and if you have a dream that you keep putting off, don’t!
Go for it, NOW!!!
