Hijabi Trend Alert: Ornate Hijab Jewels

Happy Monday lovely ladies! I hope that you had an amazing weekend. I was very busy running after my chubster. With my Hubster being busier than ever with work, I am getting a workout chasing after our baby! One thing I always manage to do is catch up on my stylish hijabis in action on social media channels. Do you know what I noticed?

Major hijab bling in the form of not only headbands and brooches, but hijabis are pinning actual necklaces on their foreheads too! Maybe its because I am desi, but I am loving this look. It may be too princess for some hijabis, and this look is not for everyday wear, but I think its lovely. What do you think? Is this a Do or a Don’t?

Hijabi Trend Alert: Studded Shoes

Hijabi trend alert! Stylish hijabis are embracing studs and rivets; especially on their feet. While they look pretty fierce, they can also lend just the right amount of tough girl beauty that most hijabis possess anyhow. We love this boot by Zara because even though the cap toe looks tough, the boot silhouette is still ladylike.

Hijabi Obsession: Royal Blue

I am currently in love with royal blue as an update for my winter wardrobe. Ever since Kate Middleton wore that royal blue Issa dress to match with her engagement ring, I have been really loving this hue. It is not too in your face like some bright colors, and I feel like jewel tones like this one always flatter everyone no matter what your skin tone. Expect to see me rocking not only royal blue, but hues like emerald, amethyst, and ruby as well. What is your favorite color to wear during winter?

Hijabi Obsession: Emerald Green

I am obsessed with all things green all the time (my favorite color is green). It reminds me lush trees, grass, and just life in general. So I was absolutely THRILLED to hear that the color of 2013 is emerald green! It is time to go break out my emerald green pieces now.

Here are some tips on how to rock green:

  • Embrace texture: Colors like green look fresh in materials like leather and lace.
  • Don’t be afraid to mix it up: Wear it with other bright colors for an unexpected look. I like to pair mine with dark pink.
  • Don’t forget accessories: I love emerald toned jewelry. How pretty would an emerald brooch placed on a white hijab look? Also don’t forget purses, belts and gloves!
  • Don’t put away the mint: Remember all of those lovely flowy mint pieces from last season? Keep them and mix it with darker green pieces. Since they are all in the same color family, you will look polished.

As long as you are happy to rock it, then you will look amazing. So wear what you love! There are no rules to fashion, which is why it is so fun.

Hijabi Obsession: Flowy Skirts

20121204-231724.jpg

I have devoted a lot of posts to beauty, but I have some fashion news for my hijabi fashionistas!

High waisted skirts are still very much in style this season.

Pictured above is Chris Benz’ Rhoda skirt for Anthropologie.

Chris Benz is doing a capsule collection for Anthropologie! It is in his typical colorful style with lots of big bows. Eeeeeek I am so excited, but his price point may be a tad steep even for his lower priced collection.

So for you bargain hijabi fashionistas, I will post a high waisted skirt more in your budget range. I just loved the cut and color of this one so much I just had to post it.

Plus, it’s a new collaboration and I just love all of the new ones so far so I wanted to highlight yet another brilliant one.

What is your favorite collaboration?
