The original hijab fashion, hijab style, beauty and entertainment blog for Muslim women

At least we think so

If you’ve noticed below we have a brand new toolbar (it’s different from the hijab fashion toolbar).

This one enables us to connect directly with you!

We have some exciting features we’ll be adding to it in the near future so keep your eye out for alerts. The alerts will be used sparingly to update you on giveaways, winners and other important news, so don’t worry we will not be bombarding you.

If you don’t like the toolbar you can minimize it and it will be out of your way. But if you want to chat with us, check out the latest happenings or even get to know other readers, this is the place to do it.

You never have to leave the website to check your other favorite places like twitter, youtube or facebook. It’s all here for your convenience.

Feel free to play around with it and find out what all the cool buttons do.

We hope you enjoy it and we’d love to hear your thoughts.

This feels like the beginning of something totally awesome and we’re excited to share it with you!

Lately I’ve been having recurring dreams that stress me out: I’m having heated arguments with friends or I’m trying to get to work but can’t seem to make it there or even worse I’m trapped in an elevator.

Perhaps it’s because I’ve become really insecure lately. We have a lot of things that are up in the air at home in terms of job security and health care and so I find myself worrying about it subconsciously. But that’s not what bothers me the most. I worry a lot about other people. Did I say something that bothered someone? Did I hurt someone’s feelings because I didn’t call them back like I promised? Is someone holding a grudge against me because I forgot their birthday? I probably sound like a broken record and if you’ve read my previous Behind the Screen posts you may be noticing the pattern of negativity and self-doubt.

Elif Kavacki is the woman behind the hijab fashion line Kavacki Couture. The fashions she designs are geared toward Muslim women who wear hijab and are looking for something that is fashionable and yet still adheres to the guidelines of hijab.

Kavacki’s story is very unique because of the way she ended up in the fashion industry. To begin with Kavacki moved from Turkey to Dallas, Texas when she was only 12 years old and says her family moved to the United States because of the ban on Hijab in Turkey.
