FASHION. Girls Gone Wild

2012-07-02T00:09:00.000-07:00

This is my version of a girls-gone-wild night.

I paired my leather accented corset with a leopard print pop skirt.

Normally I pair pop skirts with a tight top or a loose top with a tight skirt. I think both pairs are sweet. If you pair loose top and pop bottom, it looks lousy and very unflattering. A big no, no for me.

Tight top and tight bottom is a different story, that will depend on your figure. If you're comfortable wearing it then do so, if not, avoid looking like a piece of meat squeezed inside a tube. Make sure as well that "tight" is not too tight that you're holding your breath to keep your tummy tucked or too tight that your beer bellies are popping out.

Being a woman, we love to wear something that flatters our figure, no matter what size we are. Who doesn't? This outfit can be worn by bigger women or small sized like me. It will still look sweet yet fierce.

The look: H&M corset, Zara animal print pop skirt, Burberry platform, Calvin Klein chained bag, H&M silver earrings

The chained leather bag and fierce looking platforms completed the look. I could've added studded cuffs or choker but I think it's already too much. I love it simple yet edgy.

How do you like this look?

Here's a list of my top favorite spring-summer 2012 picks and have collected a few pieces of my own based on these inspirations:

Roberto Cavalli prints

1. Prints- I never miss prints in my collection every spring. May it be floral or tropical. Can't wait to wear 'em!

Cropped top

Dolce & Gabbana cropped top or bralet

3. Peplum- it was difficult to find because of my XXS size but I managed to get a plain black skirt from H&M. I would've love to have the Zara peplum dress in pastel pink.

Philipp Lim peplum

4. Pastel- I was looking at GAP pastel jeans but I'm not a big fan of trousers so I opted for a Zara floral pastel shorts.

Prada pleated pastel

5. Asymmetrical hemline- though it's tough for me to find one that best suits my style & my size, finally I was able to get a lovely royal blue pleated dress from H&M with an asymmetrical hemline. happy shopper me!

Long Sleeve Maxi Dresses

2012-07-01T23:57:00.002-07:00

I was browsing my faaavorite site ASOS today for some day dresses (they have the best range ever :D check out this post I did a while back about them) and noticed a new and unlikely mini trend: long sleeve maxi dresses..

I do like this one but I'd buy a size up to make sure the fabric isn't too clingy, it only £30.00, I know!!:

Nicole Richie is pictured here wearing the same dress:
I love this, it's £32.00:

But this is my favorite by far, it's also £30.00 :D but unfortunately at the moment all the sizes above 8 (UK) are out or stock :( and I was so ready to order..

Check out ASOS's complete range of day dresses here!

2012-07-01T23:54:00.000-07:00

The best modest wedding dress shop on the net (in my humble opinion) is having a sale until the end of March and the prices are incredibly low! If you're getting married and want a modern style wedding dress that is also hijab appropriate I would highly recommend you visit this site and insha'Allah you'll find the perfect dress :D Here are some of my favorites:

I love this one, it has a Moroccan feel to it and isn't too over the top and what's more, it's yours for 612 euros, bargain! (was 765 euros):

This one comes with a cute and convenient jacket for those who don't want a long sleeved dress. It used to be 865 euros but is now just 692 :D

This next one is sooooo pretty! It's has some really elegant detailing and at 592 euros from 740, it's not a bad deal either!

This one is probably my favorite, I love all! It's 667 euros from 833:

Modest & Sexy????? A Contradiction

2012-07-01T23:47:00.000-07:00

Not too long ago on Facebook, one of my Facebook friends, and sister in Islam, posted a reply after being attacked about a post stating that she had bought a pair of skinny jeans. Many women attacked her saying that it is inappropriate for a Muslim woman to wear skinny jeans.

Now let's keep a few things in perspective. Number one, this woman wears hijab (for those of you who don't know hijab is the Islamic headscarf), and wears it properly, covering herself they way she needs to be covered (Islamicaly). Number two, this woman is married, and I believe has at least two children.

Besides my hating judgemental people, my other pet peeve (other than rudeness and inconsideration), are people who are too extreme. On one hand a woman can be to loose and out there, have absolutely no restraint about how she conducts herself, dress wise or other wise, but on the other hand you have the woman who is modest, but so modest that she can't allow herself to be ultra sexy and feminine when appropriate. Both are wrong in my humble opinion.

I am of the belief that every woman should have a pair of skinny jeans, mini skirt, halter top, some daisy duke shorts and a little black dress ......TO WEAR AT HOME FOR HER HUSBAND. Think logically for a moment. Unfortunately, your husband is out all day looking at,working,and dealing with women, most of whom do not have a problem showing a little thigh, cleavage, or butt. Then he comes home to you and your dressed like a nun, hair a mess...you get the picture. Ladies this is a man's worst nightmare, and even if he is a man of Allah (God in Arabic language) and understands why you choose to dress modestly (outside the home), he is still a man, and wants to be excited by the woman that he has to come home to until he dies. The prophet (PBUH) has said "All women have the ornaments that Allah blessed them with. Use the beauty Allah - Azza wa Jal - has bestowed you with to win the heart of your husband." And we should do just that.

We should not be afraid to embrace our feminine sexuality. I know that this is sometimes difficult for women who are very religious or have been taught that being sexy is bad or dirty. Our sexuality is beautiful and a gift from Allah/God, it is nothing to be ashamed of and should always be used appropriately and responsibly.

On a side note, us Modest Fashionistas, shouldn't use wearing hijab, or dressing modestly as an excuse or reason to stay out of shape (I am guilty of this, and am changing). We should strive everyday to eat right, exercise and be in the absolute best shape ever, for ourselves first, and also for our husbands and family.

The art of being a feminine woman, and using our feminine wiles has become lost for the most part. Modesty IS important, but a woman shouldn't lose her sexy side just because she choose to dress modest in public. Remember balance is key in every aspect of life.

Fall Fashion Trends 2011

2012-07-01T23:39:00.000-07:00

Hey Queens, I hope all is well with everyone. I have been super busy, but not too busy to keep up with the latest and greatest in fashion. I know summer is really just getting under way, but I couldn't help noticing the super cute fall clothes that will soon be headed our way in a few months. Most of the clothes are a fall preview from Gucci's 2011 Fall line. Knee high boots, and dark opaque tights are definite must haves for this fall, as well as a pop of color. I notice that lady like silhouettes are still going strong for the fall, and I must admit I am glad. It's all about being a lady. Military jackets and trench coats with a feminine twist are also going to be fall staples. Take a look!

Spring Fashion Trends 2012

2012-07-01T23:37:00.000-07:00

Wow, I can't believe we are actually a few months away from springtime. I'm even more excited about the spring fashion that is soon to hit stores. This spring is all about fun, bright, and bold colors. Feminine silhouettes, and flowy fabrics. Color blocking isn' going anywhere, and you can pull this look off by finding shades of bright pastels and neon colors that flatter your skin tone. Afrocentric tribal prints will have a strong influence on spring fashion and mixing these prints with stripes and/ or polka dots will be sooo in style.

Accessorizing will also follow the same suit. Colors, big funky chunky bracelets and earrings. Over sized clutch purses in bright pastels and funky prints are going to be a must have.

Spring 2012 beauty trends will be about girly color eye shadows, bright lip color, and of course healthy skin never goes out of style. When hitting the salon or spa for your manicure & pedicure, the look will be about the funky color french. Say bye bye to the traditional pink & white french mani and get cray with color!!

I posted some fashion eye candy for you all to enjoy. If you try any of these trends, please take pics o be featured here on the blog. As always keep it, fun, feminine, colorful, and modest for Spring 2012!!

Peter Pilotto London Fashion Week 2012

2012-06-25T18:33:00.000-07:00

Peter Pilotto London Fashion Week 2012

It's refreshing to find trends unique to each designer at LFW.
And while Peter Pilotto, and his design partner Christopher de Vos, have incorporated in the obligatory velvet cropping up on catwalks across the capitol, the duo have devised their own house signatures continuously.
Peter Pilotto has built its reputation on always churning out edgy digital prints, and for autumn it looked like the needle was working at fever pitch.
Indigo, chartreuse and violet blended together in separates, cut-out dresses and, strangely enough, puffer jackets. But this was no normal outerwear- the sleeves were crackled silver leather and waists were cinched with the same material.
That wasn't the designers' only stab at ski chic, they also introduced several multi-colour fur bibs and gilets striped with green, bright blue, black and ivory, often framing a vibrant fitted frock or slim trousers.
A series of blown-up rose petal print dresses added a romantic touch to the otherwise cool-coloured collection.
