StyleCovered Designer Spotlight: Yigal Azrouël
And The Rest
Headscarf and Heels
After the Modest Maxi Dress feature I thought I’d treat you to the rest of his resort collection. There is a great mix of styles and colours. I’m trying to be a bit more adventurous and less trend led with what I wear and there is so much inspiration here.
Look Back
This is not the first time I featured Azrouël, and digging through those Fall 2009 looks I just couldn’t resist sharing them. I kind of got a this season Lanvin vibe from it, but dressed down for sure.

The City of Light
I’m leaving for Paris in the morning, almost finished packing but I had to make time to show you these beautiful photographs taken by my little sister Miya. She has just come back from Paris and after seeing her pictures I was so excited to go, so I thought I’d share them with you. Enjoy! I don’t think I can quite explain just how much I love them.
Look of the Week: Dungarees
Comeback Kid
The Best Bits
The last time I wore dungarees I was 10 (ish), but when I saw them in the Autumn collections I fell back in love. They had a new, looser, more feminine shape and came in some interesting fabrics. These are my favourites so far from the Autumn ‘09 and Spring Summer ‘10 collections. But which is your favourite?

Modest Maxi Dress Modest: Yigal Azrouel
Middle Eastern Modernist Mix
With a Twist
It may be a maxi skirt but that’s besides the point, this is a gorgeous look. Minimal, beautifully draped, and delicately loose. I love the injection of colour with the purple headscarf turban. Kind of wish I could get my headscarf twisted up like that, I love it!

Unlikely Inspiration: Miranda Kerr
Dressing in Jersey
Hijabi style
You’ll just as easily find her in lingerie on a front cover (as I found out looking for pictures for this post). But here’s focusing on her M.O.D. style which I absolutely love. She really does do jersey so well, it’s the kind of casual outfitting that is so easily translatable to hijab style. Just throw over a headscarf and you’re done! Who’d have thought inspiration from a Victoria’s Secret model.

Photo Play
Fade out
Here are my little experiments with my new 500d and some photoshop play, hence the lack of make-up and mish-mash outfit. Actually not much to say about the outfits ooh except that I customized the t-shirt. I’ll do a post about it sometime soon.
Morning Beauty: Devon Aoki by David Mushegain
Something for the Weekend
Modest in Fashion
On top of the fact that I love Devon Aoki these images are so beautiful I had to share them. There is something dreamy about them, the relaxed styling is so simple and elegant Devon and David have definitely got the best out of the styling. Love love love it as you can probably tell. I refrained from putting all the images on but just click on the images in the gallery below to see it in full.

Modest Maxi Dress Moment: 3.1 Phillip Lim
Hijab Resort Style
Delicate Details
There is something so simple about this, but the details make it new and special. Absolutely love the drape. What’s more I think you could get away with layering trousers underneath without it looking weird.

StyleCovered Designer Spotlight: Stella McCartney
Hijab Style
Resort 2010
Light and Loose
I’ll be highlighting some of my favourite resort collections over the next few weeks, I’ve held on to these Stella McCartney images for a while so I thought I’d finally share them! I love the loose shapes.
This jumpsuit is amazing, absolutely love it!
The Tunics
Evening Resort
I’m working on a design that’s kind of similar to this skirt, I love its silhouette.

Hijab Styles: Maxi Dresses
Brighten Up
Modest Dressing in Colour
Goodbye Grey Skies
It’s been so dark and grey lately I thought I’d brighten things up a bit with my Zara maxi dress. Because it’s got so many colours I never know what to wear over the top, then I had a lightbulb moment. You could go for light or dark denim and I’ve seen quite a few of these mens shirts around lately. They’re a great alternative to a denim jacket but give the same effect. Plus it breaks up the colour so it doesn’t look too co-ordinated and you can use near enough any colour headscarf.
P.S. I love my new SLR!
Hijab Style Look of the Week: Trends

Modest Maxi Dress Moment: Marni
Red White and Blue
Shift Shape
Something I would definitely love to wear, the simple shape caries the print beautifully. You could pick out the red white or blue in a headscarf, or co-ordinate it with a chunky knit or boyfriend shirt.

A Post by Viva La Mode
This beautifully crafted shoot is the work of Mila from Viva La Mode. She has an amazing blog, if you like this you’ll love the rest of her work. She’s stunning and lucky enough to have beautiful friends and family to model for her. So creative!
“Yesterday I had photo-shoot with Sabrina, she came earlier at 7 in the morning and the total photos we had until she left at 5 in the afternoon is 1678! Now Sabrina has worn hijab. It makes me want to wear hijab too, insyallah 
. So, she wanted to have a photo-shoot in hijab.”
“We’d really like to have outfits in all black, and of course black shades. We’re always be a fan for this style. The white line we had and black eyeliner are from face painting! We are also like to find out inspiration from Hana’s blog. She has amazing style and her blog is really inspiring for the hijab style.”
