Final Day: Out with friends

~Day 7~
As Hijabi Fashion Week comes to an end, I showcase my final look; Out with friends. Whether it's out to dinner, a theatre trip or a sleep over, I keep girls close. They are the ones that encourage me when I'm down and help me find the true meaning of the Hijab and Sisterhood in Islam. Love them to bits and this look is dedicated to them.

~Eid~

Day 5
Everyone loves Eid! It's a day to dress up, celebrate with family and friends, reflect on your year and be grateful for all your blessings.
Here are pictures from Eid last year spent with my closest friends =)
I'm wearing an outfit made by yours truly that showcases a fusion of traditional African print (Ankara) and a modern skirt and blouse style.

Day 4: Vacation Time

Sun shining, shades on, bright maxi dress and sandals. Here is my vacation look. Paired with a light denim shirt and black hijab, taking these pictures left me feeling to jump on a plane and fly some where hot and sunny.

Day 2: Hobby/ Recreation

The only time you'll catch me in anything close to trousers in public is at the gym or training.
Here are some pics in our make shift home gym, courtesy of my brothers.
Who said hijabi's don't do sports eyy. Here I'm rocking some Adidas trakies, black hijab and Tee. A splash of purple and my funky die-dye plimsolls
