HIJAB TUTORIAL: SPECIAL OCCASION

I made this tutorial to give you an option if you are confuse which model, what style, or how to wrap your scarf for a special occasion. What you need is 2 pashmina scarf, better if you pick 1 light material and another one is in cotton material, so it won't feel so heavy on your head. 

You will also need an accessories like a broach or flower clip to place on your scarf, But this is actually optional, accessories is actually the tool which will make your look more glamorous :)

Rabia Z. Autumn/Winter 2011 Sale on Facebook !

I believe most of hijabi know Rabia Z. Her work is absolutely stunning mashallah. Love the way she designs her clothes. They are totally wearable. A big inspiration for hijabi :)

Rabia Z. Based in the United Arab Emirates, her collection evolved as a brand that echoed elegance. 

Her 2011 Collections stand out in the way she cuts her clothes. Using mostly jersey material (I loveee Jersey), she constructs the garment and wraps it around the body with such creativity that not a single fold was out of place. The colors mixed just right and so did the other fabrics, like when silk and jersey clashed beautifully. She did all this with almost no embellishment. No glittering Swarovski here, no pearls, and it was like A BREATH OF A FRESH AIR ! I Absolutely love her 2011 collections..!!

Below are Rabia Z. Autumn/Winter 2011 Preview SALE for Eid Pre-Order Promotion. They do delivery worldwide, so for those of you who are outside UAE, you can purchase it online through her FB page at below link:

WESTERN DESIGNERS - CLOSE UP

Hmmm... I was in the middle of reading an online newspaper, and suddenly i stopped when my eye catch such an amazing designer's dresses pictures on the runway. My mind immediately go so far imagining it where would i wear those kind of dresses, and which scarf match the best, etc !!! well, since i realized i will not have those dresses, so i guess it's fine right just to imagie it :D hahahaha...
Valentino, Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Armani, Louis Vuitton's designs shows some long dresses, with long sleeves ladies at the podium. Here are the designs:

HIJAB TUTORIAL: SPORTY/FUNKY HIJAB

This hijab style is perfect for casual wear. It comfortable enough and It comes with stylish, yet functional style that is ideal for active Hijabi. I love wearing it for a relax occasions and it's a great Cross between casual and sporty look.
You can choose any fabric, just make sure it long enough, so you are able to make the second layer. And it also great if you pin the back part with a big bros. I was suppose to use my bros, but unfortunately i couldn't find mine, so i was just using a normal pin to tight it.   

MY INNER HIJAB

Since i started to cover my hair, I finally found the hijab style that suits me, which involves me putting my hair up a little higher in order to allow my hijab to stay in place. I knowwww there are so many controversial about this "Bumpyyy" thing under the Hijab, BUT I can’t seem to find another hijab style that I like/suit, and i only really need the volume around my face, not at he back. 
Well some people go so far as to claim that it is Haram (forbidden) because it draws attention to a woman's hair. But for me, I guess its all based on intentions. 
So let me share with you since i have so many questions regarding my inner hijab and what i usually put under my scarf to get a little volume.

Hair Clip

You can find sizes for the hair clip, from big, medium, to small. Since i only need a little volume and just a modest height with a low bump, I usually choose the small size one, like the pink clip is consider the smallest.

After I put a hair clip, instead of using a spandex headband that most of hijabi wear for their inner scarf, i wear this kind of cap/inner scarf. Why i like this kind of inner scarf is that the front part of this inner hijab helps me easier to shape my scarf, and it also give me a longer and more oval face. Besides, the back part of this inner scarf helps my hair clip look more nice round shape at the back.

Anyway, according to my Opinion, having a moderate volume/bump for your scarf i think it looks quite nice. Just DON'T overdone it ! you don't want to look like this:

I hope this post helps you guys who is wondering what is my inner scarf in my hijab tutorial or my daily hijab. Since this hair clip thing is stirring controversy among hijabi, so if you think this does not appropriate, you don't have to follow.

HIJABI-SPECIAL OCCASION

I'm sure each person has their own individual taste especially in their dressing style for special occasion. But I'm not sure how formal the dress code is but a dress or maxi skirt won't go amiss on this sort of occasion. Sometimes when we hear special occasion, it immediately cross in mind that it should be a glamor layered hijab with so many colors and full accessories, etc. Well, it shouldn't always be like that. When i think about special occasion, what first cross in my mind is a satin colored shirt tucked in with a "not your usual everyday" hijab style and a cute contrasting clutch. like this:

And I loooove this outfit by Shaikha Mozah! It's young, fun and perfect for a formal dinner or attending a wedding party: 

If you want to look sophisticated in black, (black is always a safe color), I really love below black dress. it's very simple and sophisticated, you just need to add a hijab on with some accessories of course so it won't really look too simple:

Another idea is to wear a maxi dress of your choice and glam it up heels/wedges, a jacket to make it more formal and a clutch. This look would work best if the event isn't as formal as a prom or dinner but you are expected to look smart. This look is pretty casual but it shows you what i mentioned above.

If you want a more promy look, I would advise a simple evening gown coupled with a bolero or fur. Something like this would look cute for a more formal event where women are wearing evening gowns:

For those of you who love to wear Abaya, for a special occasion, try wearing a glam Abaya and some accessories on your black hijab like this:

I hope this post help those of you who is wondering what to wear to a formal occasion, dinner party, prom, wedding party etc :)
