Formal hijab style for your next big event

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

The best part of this outfit is the effortlessness of it all!

This abaya is so regal that you can totally wear it for the next formal event you have.

Let the earrings peek slightly from under your hijab if you know how to make it look good.

Otherwise play around with the scarf and show-off the necklace. You can either tuck the scarf in or tie it behind you so the ends dangle down your back.

Classy hijab style for a big event

BONUS TIP: If you’re ever worried about what you’re going to wear to a wedding, graduation, banquet  etc. there are so many abayas in a variety of colors/fabrics on the market that can easily work as a beautiful gown.

Bellissima’s summer collection

Monday, May 31st, 2010

hijabtrendz review

We’ve previously featured Bellissima Scarves through a hijab video tutorial, and now we’re reviewing their summer collection.

Bellissima sent us a sample from the new collection and we love it.

The summer collection of scarves are still made of the same quality and cut.

We love that they are made in Italy and that the woman behind the brand actually goes to Italy to source her fabric.

The color we have is Clara Beige and it works well with almost any outfit whether you want it casual or formal.

MTV in Saudi Arabia

Sunday, May 30th, 2010

We were recently sent a link to this piece that apparently aired recently on MTV about Saudi Arabia.

Note: it runs about 1 hour in length.

Our particular interest is on the girl in the documentary who wants to design “colorful” abayas as opposed to the black ones that dominate the market.

We like her hijab style and we find the whole video to be rather intriguing. It seems like women will never win whether they live overseas or here in the West. Can’t we just wear whatever we want?

What do you think of the piece? Do you think there are exaggerations or is it pretty accurate?

We love the flow of these outfits because they can go as both a dress or an over-garment.

Which one is your fave?
