You guys, Ramadhan literally got some wings and flew by (come on, admit you kind of laughed at my lame joke). But really though this month went so fast and as usual it was so amazing and we're going to miss it a lot but....EID TIME! We have a few eids throughout the year but this is just so special because it's a celebration after going through some good spiritual detoxing and you feel like you're ready to tackle the rest of the year! Now Eid time of course calls for Eid outfits and gifts!












Where to shop:
Dollar Store
Target (dollar spot is amazing, it's where I found the mason jar)
Walmart
Cotton On (for scarves or cute jewelry)
Beya
H&M (they have cute jewelry and depending on when you go, you can find deals on their scarves)
Burlington

Hey, we are staying appropirate here okay. But that Florida sun isn't being shy and is coming out strong and as a hijabi you need to figure out some way to work with it. Usually when it gets hot, people prefer taking their clothes off...well you shouldn't. Instead do what we do and wear something flowy and breezy, because when it's fitting it gives you no air circulation, that's when you really feel hot! This is one of my all time favorite tops because first off it's long sleeves so nothing to worry about there; but the material is a light jersey type that allows for some type of structure to it but is very comfortable and "breathable" as some people say. The cardigan, well it's extremely light and more so just adds more to the outfit. Sometimes I forget I'm wearing it because of how light it is. Jeans...I can't or well I can but really prefer not to wear jeans in this type of weather (so stay tuned for some other pantaloon ideas you can wear when it's blazing hot), so I grabbed my leggings. Once again, they have the "breathable" effect and are just lighter to wear compared to jeans. And yes you guys will be seeing these gladiators a lot this summer but you know I had to wear them. You can throw on any scarf that matches for this outfit, but the cheetah print with the maroon was just what I was feeling today you know what I'm saying. Well, whatever it is you're doing this summer, I hope you're enjoying it (even if it's taking summer classes)! Stay tuned for some more summer fun outfits and of course Ramadhan is around the corner so you know what that means...I'll have a date every night (yes, my fiance knows how terrible my jokes are)!

So guys...I just might've bought another kimono. Okay no yeah I did buy another one. But okay, first off it was on sale and secondly look how cute it is! It's a different style from what I have, and it was floral *insert emoji with heart eyes*. I bought it without thinking what I could wear underneath or what scarf I could wear. There's only so many colors you can wear with this such as white, light blue, magenta, and different assortments of purple. I thought I was stuck because I had tried a white tunic underneath but it wasn't giving me the look I wanted. But then...of course as purple always does, it saved the day! And I totally forgot about this scarf color that I had, it's actually quite vibrant which is different from what I normally wear but it's good to venture out when it comes to scarf colors. Simply threw it all together and bam! You know you like it, even if it's basically another kimono outfit!

Well for all those taking exams still, oh how much I don't want to be you...but good luck, you are almost done! And for all those done, wooooo we're done!!....well until summer classes!
It's summer time, so it's time for cute #ootds so don't forget to dress it up because life's too short to dress boring!

Selfie all day everyday

Everyone goes through trial and error when it comes to finding the right one, but this time I think I've found the one...Yes you guys, I've finally found my perfect emerald green hijab...what did you think I was talking about?
There's a perk of having your brother live in the UK (besides visiting him and having him bring you chocolate), and it's being able to actually shop at hijab stores in the UK and check out their amazing collections, because let's be real here guys, they've got the good stuff.
I know Monday is actually a quite gloomy day here, but Florida is starting to pick up the heat so I figured it's time to bring out the beach bummin' outfits. And trying to a beach bum and a hijabi can be quite difficult, but don't worry I got you! I like to keep it simple and breezy with a chiffon black dress that have slits on the side giving you just the right air (of course with leggings underneath), spiced it up with this cheetah print, and then topped it off with this gorgeous emerald green scarf! Oh and how could I forget...my sunhat! I mean who said you can't have hats on hijabs right? Got the best sister-in-law for picking this up right before actually to top my beach bummin' outfit off perfectly! Wasn't much to the outfit but it made a great combo! Hope you guys love it as much as I do!

It's the "I have a dream" look

Whether African-American or not, whether American or not, everyone is familiar with that quote said by none other than Martin Luther King (by the way you guys are in for a good read :D). Yeah sometimes we joke around and say "I have a dream that school will end and summer will come," but today's outfit is inspired by the dream in your heart and following through with it. Everyone has a dream, everyone wants something and it's kept, as cheesy as it sounds, in everyone's heart. So if you have a broken heart, mend it. If you have a lost heart, focus and find what you're looking for. If you fear that when you say  "I have a dream to do what's in my heart" won't come true, kill that fear and just follow what's in there and you'll get there. DREAM BIG. And NEVER I mean NEVER think you can't achieve that dream. Well that's my motivational rant for the week!
 But as every outfit comes with a story, this week I decided wearing this loose-fit flowy heart covered shirt and pattern blocking with one of my favorite floral scarves that I haven't worn for quite some time. Now let's time talk about this new item in the closet committee...first off, that maxi dress was too cheap not to buy; I'm enjoying how though it's like a maxi, the slits let you add a dash of color. A part of me was not sure if I should do boots or gladiators since it is a maxi but the slits let you work with either.

Well whether it was the motivational rant or the outfit or even both, I hope you enjoyed this week's post and dressing it up because life's too short to dress boring!

Hi guys! :) How's your day been so far, if you're reading this later in the week, how's your week been? I'm in quite a good mood and why not, it's Monday! I should probably do my positivity challenge right now...but I'll do it later (more like in a week).


So I was debating as to what theme I should set for this week's outfit. Because it's mid-September and they're advertising pumpkin everywhere (I mean have you seen Dunkin Donut's advertisement) so I wanted to start the fall theme, but you know living in Florida can hold you back from that. So I decided to have this outfit show that now it's time to sizzle down and cool off into the fall outfits; but of course if I bounce back to a summer outfit it's probably because it is so hot that week and wearing sued
e boots and a leather jacket just won't work. So in order to cool off, I color blocked some chilled colors that are my personal favorites, a vibrant, frosty mint and refreshing cobalt blue (get that color in your closet if it's not there yet!). What I love about these outfits is that if I want to mix colors such as this together, all I need to do is look for a scarf with those colors in it and it just wraps it all together. Gosh I just love scarves (especially my floral ones), they just complete my outfits (yes, I know I'm a hijabi so it should). And I added the braided belt just because I like to neutralize all the colors mixing together.

Well I hope you guys loved this rather easy and cute outfit and get excited for the fall outfits, because I know I am!

To all my American and non-American friends, Happy 4th of July! I think the color scheme for this outfit is pretty explanatory. But one item of this outfit that I'd like to point out is the scarf! It's my American flag scarf and probably one of favorite scarves to buy because I mean what hijabi (who lives in America) wouldn't want one :D Hope you guys love this holiday fun outfit and hope you're decking out in red,white,and blue too!

Um....yeah. #lolz

It's that time of the year! One of the most joyful, if you ask me. Ramadhan Mubarak to all my Muslim and non-Muslim friends all over ( you know, since I'm assuming we're all friends even if it isn't facebook official). Before I continue, for those that aren't familiar with what Ramadhan is, it is the time of year that Muslims fast (don't eat or drink from dawn to dusk) for 30 days and invest more time in ourselves (spirituality wise) by reading Qur'an, going to mosque, and praying more often. I look at it as a spiritual cleansing that you get to do with your family and friends and I absolutely love it. So for the following weeks, my outfits will be based on what you could wear to mosque and in return I hope to see what you guys are wearing to mosque too! So whenever you find yourself wearing a cute outfit to mosque, facebook/instagram/twitter it with the hashtag #myramadhanootn :)
So this outfit, oh this outfit. I first saw this dress and like the last item I blogged, didn't know if i could work it, but I fell in love with the floral

print and how elegant it was so of course I bought it :D The dress gives a good amount of colors to work with from pink, coral, beige, cream, to even mocha. Of course for jewelry and accessories, I just jazzed it up with my watch, pearl rings, and my studded nude pink bag, because who doesn't love a little studness (probably not a real word) here and there! And as for foot wear, I of course put on my new favorite pair of gladiators (that you know actually make me feel like a gladiator, not going to lie). Well this is the first of Ramadhan OOTNs and I hope you're looking forward to more and I can't wait to see yours! :)

Water was cold!

I had to take advantage of the fact that I could get a change of scenery for my blog post this week, so I decided to do a beach bum outfit! It is so comfortable and if you ask me, super cute ( but that's a biased opinion of course). The cover up that I'm wearing is probably used as beach cover up, but since I'm a hijabi and nobody got time for bikinis, I'm wearing it as a kaftan (as my cousin and I call it). I saw this in an H&M in New York City when I was shopping and I really wasn't sure how I would work with it, let alone how it would look on me, but I had to buy it because of the cheetah and solid black on the back. When my brother saw me where it (he first asked what I was wearing), he asked why I'm wearing such dark colors and so I explained that I'm balancing with a vibrant peach coral scarf, but of course he didn't understand (or well wasn't listening). You will more than likely see this again but in a totally different look or theme I should say (yeep so excited I wish I could post it tomorrow but I can't!). I put my black high low underneath only because the material of it sat well with the kaftan but if you ever have something like this, feel free to have fun with the colors. Hopes you guys loved my beach bummin' outfit and look forward to more!

 I tell ya, it's convenient when you have a hijabi blogger as a friend because it's like they know what scarf to get you to really....inspire you! This week's outfit was inspired by a fellow Hijabi Hero, Malikah Ebrahim, also my twinkie!
This scarf created the perfect bright, summer-fun outfit that I think is one of my favorite so far! I've realized that this summer has made me just want to wear color all the time and I'm not afraid of layering solid colors anymore because it's not as difficult as it seems, as long as you go the right scarf! Hope you guys love this outfit as much as I do and try splashing some colors together! It'll make you #ootd (outfit-of-the-day) all day, every day!

His "don't mess with my sister" look

"This dress makes me happy" said my sister-in-law when she saw me in this super colorful and bright dress. This dress is perfect to start the summer off with because it's not only so colorful and has that "fun-in-the-sun" look but it is also very comfortable. I think my favorite part of the maxi was that it was under ten dollars :D As for the jean shirt, I usually fold it to make the rest of the maxi look like a maxi skirt, but I just wanted to be as comfortable (and cute) as possible so I turned into a cardigan and buttoned it down half way so it's not so restricting and tied a belt to just add a little structure. Oh, the bag! How much do you love this bag? Because I just love it! It's that fun bag yet very chic with the touches of gold. Oh, and well it's Florida and summer time so you can imagine the heat, so I just decided to loosely wrap my scarf, but it still does what it needs to and lets a little more air pass by! Hope you guys are looking forward to the rest of my summer outfits!

The first thing I say when I realize it's a surprise for me, "ugh I hate you all," when in actuality, I am so blessed. So my friend Sabira told me she needed to take photos for her blog, when really she just wanted to take these amazing pictures and surprise me with them at this surprise party she was planning with my #behindthescenegirls, Anum and Mishaal and the only other girl I get mixed up so much with because we have the same name, Fatimah Jaffer. She told me for her "porfolio" she wanted a fantasy and elegant look so what better than making it minty and pearly! And of course I have to add edge with the studded jean shirt. She also said she didn't want any black, and so forest green worked best! She wanted pearls everywhere so I got all the necklaces and rings I have (well not all the rings since I have so many), and jeweled up. Thanks to her I finally I got to use this headband I've been trying to figure out an outfit for! I hope you guys loved this outfit as much as I did. I honestly loved it because it's such a perfect mix of chic, cute, elegant, edgy, and hijabi ;)
