Summer essentials and outfit ideasBeat the summer heat with these flowy breezy outfits and hijab styles. Flowy and light colored clothes are a must. Now don't go and pick out all the long dresses, firstly you won't find any and secondly their too hot any way. Choose a sleeveless or straps long dress or even a jumpsuit from h&m, factorie and cotton on always have them in stock. Yes you might be asking, but Aaliyah I wear hijab how can I wear sleeveless clothes? And I say, " Gurl pair it with a kimono or an open Abayah" Long shirts or shirt dresses that are matte and made from pure cotton or silk are you're best friend for an everyday basis when you don't have time. Since it's so easy to pair with a jean or pants and still look elegant. Summer time is the right time to dress girly and classy and I think swop the superstars for heels or wedges. The place where you'll find these shirts is Refinery. Every summer I go on a hunt for shirts and blouse shirts, but they are now more commonly found at Zara. They are airy and breezy. They give a classy look when paired with pants and a casual feel with jeans. Hijab styles: Drape you're hijab effortlessly over your shoulder for a classy and heat proof look. Choose a chiffon scarf since it has a cool touch. My favorite shades for summer are blush, nudes,baby blue and light grey. And lastly the effortless turban. It's so easy to do especially with the Ajmaan instant turbans( check my IG). They are so light weight, which means no headaches or tan lines around you're neck.

I hope you enjoy you're summer shopping and don't forget to comment and share. xoxo Aaliyah 💐

The right scarf colors for you're skin toneSalaam hope you're all well! There are many scarves to pick from, but the right shade is all that makes the cut. Today I'll be recommending different hijab shades for different skin complexions. Light: Pastel hues and softer tones such as lilac and baby blue work in most situations. Avoid cream and beige as they might make you appear tired and dull. Medium: Think tropical colours such as teal, saffron and dusty rose. Avoid neons. Dark: Earthy tones like peach, coral and jewel tones of blue, olive and purple work best. Avoid extremely bright tones especially during the day. In order below : My personal favorite shop to buy scarves is scarves unlimited, since they have a huge variety of colors, shades and textures. Follow them on Instagram and let them know I sent you @scarves_unlimited. That's the one shop I always have to pop into at the al ansaar souk.
xoxo aaliyahs__closet Salaam hope you're all well. Yup winter is nearly over and the days are getting hotter which means hijabis get 10x hotter. All my jackets are at the back of my closet, because I'm so bored of wearing the basic winter outfits aka jeans, t-shirt and boots. Yup and don't forget you're pashmina. This time of the year I like wearing a warm bottom and a duo top. Which can be worn long or short. If you know what I mean :) Pumps: SISSYBOY (on sale now)
Jeans: Forever21 Shirt: Refinery (R380) Turban: ajmaan (intagram). Totally love this instant turban. (R200) Sunglasses: Aldo Lip stain: body shop (R150) Salaam hope you're all well. Yup it's time to start looking for Eid outfits yet again. I don't know if it's only me but I do get hyped up to go on shopping trips and all that jazz. So I decided why not show you guys some outfits and abayahs. The picture above was my moms outfit last Eid. The outfit has a very elegant touch with the shoes and the Abayah is a very unique style which I love. The abayahs intricate sewn style and simple flower pattern adds to its elegance and beauty. This Abayah was bought from my favorite Abayah shop "Leila Couture" in Fordsburg. This shop sells everything from undercaps to abayahs and evening dresses. The shoes are from non other than Melisa and can be purchased from Stuttafords or even their website. I suggest getting a size bigger since they have small sizes. Okay I'm seriously obsessed with costume jewelry since I always loose my jewelry and my favorite shop to purchase these are Klines or Accesorise. Since the dress was simple and not over beaded as well as the simple black Madam la Arab scarf from Bling By Binte(Instagram: blingbybinte) I thought of an Arab makeup look. With a really intense eye makeup and than a simple nude lip topped of the look. These eyelashes just looked gorgeous and for the best quality I suggest buying Huda beauty lashes or Mac ones. I hope this helps you guys out don't forget to comment and follow me on Instagram @aaliyahs__closet xoxo Aaliyah |
