HFW: Day 4 Vacation

Salaams and Salutations,

Its Day 4 of HFW...and its VACATION TIME!!

I'm not one for long vacations but I do do a couple of mini vacations a couple of times a year. Next year I'm planing a week in Aruba **happy dance**.

This look is great for strolling down the beach or boardwalk somewhere nice. The overgarment is crepe and very flowy. All i need is a big floppy had an some pink flip flops!

Deets:
Overgarment: Creative Overgarments buy Tawanda Mackey
Hijab: The Souq
Headband: Forever 21







Check out the other ladies on vacay here at HFW.

Day 1 -- Leaders in Hijab: what leadership roles do you have or want to try? (President, teacher, mother, Volunteer Leader, CEO etc.).
Day 2 -- Hobby/Recreation: What do you do when you have free time? (hike, sail, write, paint, etc.)
Day 3 -- Break the Rules: A stylish hijabi can look good in anything, even when she's breaking the rules! Pick a fashion/style rule you always follow, and show us how you'd break it in style! (Any style rule may be broken, except the Islamic criteria for hijab).
Day 4 -- Vacation/Destination: Where would you go, if you could go anywhere in the world? What outfits would you wear?
Day 5 -- Eid & Formal: It's Friday! Dress up! What did you wear for Eid? What do you wear to formal events/parties?
Day 6 -- Date Night: Yesterday you dressed up for you, today dress up for your man! What do you wear when going out with your (future) husband?
Day 7 -- Out with Friends: Finish off the week by hanging out with friends! Where do you usually go? What do you usually do?

Where is your ULTIMATE vacation spot?

HFW: Day 3 Breaking the Rules

Salaams and Salutations,

Breaking all the rules?? Hmmm well here we mean FASHION RULES. Poka dots and stripes, denim on denim, all neutrals, stuff like that. I chose Black and brown. Most would say they don't go together but I think I pulled them off quiet nicely.



I put in a pop of color with the necklace.

HFW: Day 2 Recreation

Salaam And Salutations!

Day 2 of HFW...And I had to think about what I consider recreation. Well my girls love to swim. As Muslimahs we all have modest swimwear, so I picked swimming. So this is what I wear on my WAY to the pool. My LiaWear Action cover up. I love it. It matches my swimsuit from Spashgear USA and is so comfy.

Pearl Daisy haul (most recent)

Salaams and Salutations Ladies

So I have a Pearl Daisy obsession. At first when I FIRST saw the hoojab video..I was like, "I'm NOT getting into the hype'...well that went out the window when I purchased my 1st hoojab.



Pearl Daisy is run buy Sister Amena, she love of hijab into a J.O.B. (not made at her) On her YouTube channel, Amenakin, she does hijab tutorials, make up tutorials, drops ilm, and baby product reviews. Check it out.
Most recent haul
Drape hijabs: pink drape (fushia), coco bean drape and greycious drape

Thin scarves: Pansies in the Sky (blue), Rose Fluer (peach), Victorian Spring(brown), Floaty Flowers(cream)

Crinkle scarf: Sprinkles Hyacinth

Please check her channel for tutorials on these styles and others. Note that Pearl Daisy is a UK store and the British pound is KILLING the US dollar. Go in and share the shipping with a friend or wait for promo codes and the like.
Me in some of my Pearl Daisy collection:

Dark as night (black) hoojab with an accessory

Evening Mela hijab

Da Vince thin scarf

Cherry Blossom Hoojab

PD tip: Hand wash these hijabs. Some are very delicate and can snag easily. Crinkle Scarves can be stored in a twist so that they STAY that way. Or they can be ironed out for a new look.
Hope you enjoyed that.
