Accessorize, glamorize, hijab..ize (A post by Zaenab)

I love jewelry and accessories and if you ask me, hijabis can’t be beaten at accessorising simply because a scarf is, in fashion, an accessory and so are hijab pins and under caps etc. Obviously the main reason isn’t to accessorise but that’s no reason not to use the idea anyway Here are some [...]

Hijabi Tips

Wardrobe function

Hijab Tip: The art of wardrobe arrangement

Lets face it no-one wears more clothes than us which maybe goes some way to explaining why it’s just so darn difficult to pick out an outfit. So here’s a little wardrobe tip to make it a little easier.

Casual Hijabi style

Abaya Style

This Abaya was inspired by the jumpsuit style

I could probably venture a very safe bet that half, if not more, of the United States’ population has no clue of what is happening right now in Gaza. Consumed by post-Christmas festivities and New Years’ preparations, very few people take the time to read the newspaper or listen to the morning news. Even fewer [...]
