Style Statement

Thanks for all the beautiful pictures sent in, you really are a bunch of hotties!  I shall get round to posting them, starting with this awesome look.  I love Imani’s styling, and those trousers are amazing!  Check out her lookbook page here

Grunge Style

I really should get round to doing another set of my style images, and some more hijabi sketchbook (I haven’t totally forgotten about it!) I’ve just been insanely busy with shoots.  In the mean time here’s another arty image from a few weeks back x

Exciting News

I’m doing a shoot with Grazia magazine tomorrow! Hmm, nervous and excited trying to pick some awesome outfits.  Scary stuff huh?

Lost in Light

Another Paris photo, sporting a Maysaa maxi dress which will be available soon in grey (some of you have already noticed it in the column of the dresses shop!)

The Simplest of Things

I love what a headscarf brings to an outfit, it can bring it all together and add a certain je ne sais quoi to put it in fashion talk.  So, I get that that’s not the point of wearing it, and maybe I’m just a sucker for everything it stands for, but there’s just something about it I fall in love with.

Somebody asked me if a headscarf ruins an outfit, for me I think the reverse is more often true.

The Ensemble

Another stunning Made necklace, bracelet and ring, with the equally stunning Maysaa head scarf and a plain white shirt. Sometimes the simple ones are the best ones.

P.S. We’re less than days away from the launch now… but who’s counting!

With a hat to match

My very special ebay buy, this Barts faux fur hat was my lifesaver in Paris where it was très froid.  I think the trick to wearing hats with a head scarf is finding one that covers your ears (like this rather lovely head scarf by maysaa.com).  Started off feeling kind of conspicuous I have to say but that wore off when it started to drop below zero, now we’re best of friends.

Denim Rush

Putting It Together

It’s not as hard as I thought it would be to make a full on denim look work. A plain white tee is the key to breaking it all up, that and a few well chosen accessories. Ah yes you may have spotted my favourite waistcoat, well you can expect a few more- I just can’t resist it’s pull.

A Little Help

I’m thinking about having more of my own outfits and images and less of the more generic designer posts.  I’m thinking I’ll concentrate on the sketches, modest maxi dresses, inspiring magazine editorials and a lot more photos like these (the ones above).  What do you reckon?

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.

Layers and Lace

Party Perfection

Master of his craft there’s not much more I need to say. Absolutely stunning and so many ideas for modest style… Enjoy! x

Checked Shirt

Long and loose, these shirts are perfect for dressing up or dressing down, always good with denim and perfect with those gorgeous leather boots. Just throw on a headscarf to complete a chic casual look. And I love that furry bobble hat!

The Statement Jacket

Put it with a long black maxi skirt and headscarf you’ll have one hell of an outfit. I’m desperate to find a leather jacket and I think this has got to be one to aspire to. It’s just heart pumping goodness.
