As I sit across from him, I can’t help but think back to just twelve months ago when he was my good Christian friend, Nathan. He seems different all of a sudden wearing his white fez with that usual gleaming smile that can make any bad situation seem like less of one.
It’s a beautiful time…
So guys it is the 17th day of Ramadan. Hope all of your fasting has been going well, I know mine has. It is actually quite sad to know that this holy month is nearly over, however, it does mean that we are all starting to hunt for the perfect Eid outfit.
Keep calm and dress shop on
Today I decided it would be so much fun to focus on modest bridal fashion. For those of you who are already married you would know what an exciting time it is to pick or design your wedding gown. Those of you who are currently engaged to be married and is feeling unequipped to begin the hunt for the perfect wedding dress this post right here is for you!
You can’t see me

The idea here is to delve into the world of the so-called ‘ninjas’. What am I talking about, you wonder? Pardah’s of course.
People assume women in pardah are extremists; in most countries it would mean being nothing short of a terrorist. But have you taken the time to understand the reasoning behind it? I can guarantee you that if you do you will have a new found respect for the women who are brave enough to not just wear it, but rock it.
Oh, the possibilities…
Hey ya’ll
So I came across something interesting while surfing the net and I thought to myself, hey, my readers would really be pleased with this information!
Yes, yes, I do think about you guys… So Singapore just had its first Modest Fashion Week in April 2017. It was held from the 14th until the 16th of April at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. The event featured Modest Fashion designers from Singapore, Malaysia as well as Indonesia.
Talk about controversy…
Kendall Jenner faced some backlash after being put in Vogue India’s 10th year anniversary issue.
Followers of Vogue India were deeply displeased commenting on whether all the Indian models were taken. This brought up issues of ‘whitewashing”, the concept of whitewashing is basically when people of colour are replaced by ‘white’ people in what would be a typically non-white role.

Halima Aden who is a Somali American Fashion model was born in a refugee camp in Kenya and moved to the United States of America at the age of six.
Halima is the very first woman in Hijab (headscarf) to walk the runway. She starred in Kanye West’s New York Fashion Show Season Five edition. At the mere age of nineteen, Halima is breaking grounds for all Hijabi’s in the world of fashion.
The What’s and Why’s…
“What is it like being a Muslim?” A question I am faced with almost on a daily basis. People always seem to think being Muslim, specifically a Muslim female, means that we face oppression in various ways. However, ‘being Muslim’ is not simply just a religious choice. It is a way of life and when it is the only way of life you know, you learn to love your way of life.
