Oh Chanel

Resort 2011

Loose Style

Chanel resort Long Kaftan gown

This beautiful long kaftan from the Chanel resort collection actually made my eyes widen when I came across it.  I love the soft tones and the billowing fabric, and the ornate jewelled detail is so delightfully delicate.  You know what though, Natasha Poly just doesn’t do it justice… (that, naturellement, was sarcasm)

Yuna & Maysaa

Her Album Launch

Coffee

Ah, is there any better combination?  This song is incredible and she looks ridiculously good in her Maysaa hoodie.  Spent such a lovely week with her, planning our future, ready to step out in out Alexander McQueen booties.

Yuna I’m missing you so much, now that you’re in the studio and I’m in mine!  I’ll see you soon bébé.

Speaking of those beautiful booties, gasp!

This is for lovers

Summer Wedding

Modest Dresses

Modest wedding dress Matthew Williamson

I’ve had a lot of emails requesting a post on wedding dresses.  And it has to be said that I’ve spent an unhealthy amount of time perusing the net-a-porter wedding boutique.  If only I’d known about this before I got married.  They have a wonderful selection of dresses, and a lot of them are easily hijab-able.  My favourites are the Lanvin and Matthew Williamson ones, but they are all so beautiful!

They vary quite a bit in price, but you can pick up something for under £500 which ain’t bad.  The service is amazing, and they have ‘free and easy’ returns should you change your mind.  If anything it’s worth checking out just for inspiration, they have a great wedding webzine and awesome little videos of the dresses.

Ship Shape

Moody blues

Polka dots and stripes

Hijab fashion Hana Tajima Hareem pants polka dots

Oh no, not another nautical themed post.  Had a funny experience on the tube yesterday, I was wearing a Breton striped top (you know those white and blue tops) and got on the tube.  Sitting opposite me were 2 girls wearing Breton striped tops, I got that feeling, if I see another person wearing that top I’m gonna… Well it turns out I’m gonna do a post featuring a striped top. I’m quite in love with blue and white at the moment.

Help!

Pakistan Flood Appeal

Friends Fundraising

Lets put fashion to one side for a moment and do something to help the relief effort in Pakistan. A couple of my friends are fundraising, cycling through France to Italy to raise money.  The money they raise will go to Shelter Box which is an amazing charity that deliver emergency supply boxes to places that have been affected by disasters.  You can donate here through justgiving, and find out more about the charity Shelter Box here. It would be amazing if you could give something, it doesn’t have to be a lot, but anything you can manage.

If for some reason you can’t get the link to donate the website is: http://www.justgiving.com/mattandjakestourdefrance

A Day For Jeans

Wide Leg Look

Denim and White

wide leg jeans hijab Hana Tajima

Ah simple things, those of you who know my archives will recognize this as being from an old set of photos.  I really like the colouring in this image even though it was done on my old Panasonic Lumix it’s still got a lovely feel.  These jeans are quite awesome, they’re super wide leg and lightweight nothing like regular jeans.  Quite perfect for summer, although whether I can find them in the depths of my wardrobe is another matter!

Ramadan Mubarak

Future Girl

By Afnan Omar

Hana Tajima

This is just insanely cool, many thanks to the talented Afnan Omar for creating this wondrous picture.  Ah, it makes my other pictures seem rather dull in comparison.

And a slightly late Ramadan Mubarak (thanks for all the messages!)  In my defense I have been ill in bed for a few days and aside from my twitter I have been pretty much awol.  I’m happy to say after watching 3 old movies drinking lots of healthy teas I am feeling quite a bit better.

White Night

Rachel Roy

Resort 2010

Rachel Roy resort wide leg trousers 2010

I love these wide leg trousers, the print is interesting without being overpowering.  This kind of thing is something Rachel Roy is so good at getting right.  And despite it being, to all extents and purposes a fully white outfit, it is still remarkably wearable.

Jersey, Denim..

…And a Hint of Print

Maxi Skirt Styling

hijab style denim shirt Maysaa jersey maxi skirt

In my Maysaa maxi skirt once again, I really do love that thing.  I felt a bit conflicted in this outfit, like I picked out a bit of every style and threw it together.  I quite like the effect though, once again playing to my erratic styling behavior.  And I even managed the slightest amount of colour, a big step for me.

I want this…

Dries Van Noten

This maxi skirt is so lush, especially with the juxtaposed rock styling.  I would wear this in a heartbeat (just swap for a long sleeved top underneath). Oh and those shades are just uber cool.

Olá Brazil

In the Press

Correio Braziliense

Hana Tajima Correio Braziliense

Had a really lovely little interview with Correio Braziliense (A newspaper from the capital of Brazil).  They ran it in print an a lot more online too.  Shame I can’t speak Portuguese, although I do quite like foreign language articles, it means I don’t nitpick!

Looks I love

HoneyPokapoka

Nfatin

Hijab Nfatin Nfatin hijab blog

Now this girl has a ton of attitude, her blog HoneyPokapoka is pretty darn awesome too.  Love the eclectic styling, and her use of colour, she’s just uberously cool. The fact she shares a love of Alexa Chung, Daisy Lowe and Freja Beha Erichson kinda proves my point no? p.s. I nabbed the first pic off her blog (I hope you don’t mind I just loved what you were wearing!)

And I Never Wear Colour

How to make tomato red work

For a ‘Fraidy Cat

black maxi skirt hijab style

I’m definitely not an expert on colour as you will well know by now!  So I decided to keep it simple, and opt (chicken) out by keeping it to small flourishes.  The thing that keeps it me is the mid tone grey plaid shirt, it’s basically the wearable embodiment of a security blanket.  Once again loving my MAYSAA jersey maxi skirt and chiffon head scarf.  Oh and yes I do smile… occasionally. x
