beach party!!
Assalamu Alaykum,
A good friend of mine whom I shall give the name 'T' is having an all ladies private beach bash next week, which starts at 3.00pm when the sun is high and sunny, to 7.00pm when the moon is almost, well.....moony?.. well anyway as every other female specimen, I have ransacked my whole wadrobe looking for the perfect swimsuit outfit! luckily it is a private beach meaning there will be no male specimens about allowing all of Ts friends to dress as they wish. Due to my lack of the perfect outfit, i have decided to go shopping for the swimmng costume and sarong, but here is an outfit i might consider.....
hat (ann summers) swimuit(dorothy perkins) sarong (zara) sunglasses (ray ban)

2011 predictions: headscarves
asalamu alaykum,
according to the last 2010 issue of the economist magazine, 2011 would be a year when the headscarves would become very popular and fashionable..good news isnt it? well for us muslimahs fantastic news! although the headcover isnt as severe as the islamic one it is a good start. what used to be a trend in the 70s is now a 2011 must have! designers such as Armani, Emilio Pucci and Dolce and Gabbana have incorporated this trend into their spring summer collections. these head pieces vary from turbans to simple scarves leaving pony tails at the back or fringes in the front, here are some i think are quite pretty......

under the abaya
what i love so much about the abaya is that i can wear anything i like underneath it! i could put on a simple black abaya with a cute mini dress or shorts underneath it, so nobody would know except a few girlfriends! so buy your dresses and your shorts, but wear them at home alone or under an abaya!
“O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e. screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allaah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful”
