a cute day look

i love this little sweater and would probably buy it if it didnt cost almost 2 weeks wages. anyway... here is a cute look for a bright summer or spring day:

what do you think of this look?

Here is one of the very cute hijabs from the first ever Hegab Rehab hijab line. It is black chiffon with a purple and silver sequin runner. I design and make these myself on my lil' sewing machine at home, so I'm very proud of this lot.

Here is the first hijab - worn three different ways. It really sparkles in the sun or under lights (which can't be properly caught by camera). I also have designed a matching black satin abaya to go along with it with the same sequin runners along each abaya cuff (pics of that up soon, insha'Allah!).

Worn Saudi Style:

Pinned behind the head:

Khaleeji wrapped:

I am going to introduce the hijabs one by one on the blog, before putting them up for sale on the website (this one is actually up on the website right now -ready for purchase. click here to see prices on the site).

First off I need a name for this beauty. What should I call it? (and do you like it?)

makeup for glass wearers

I wear glasses every day- putting contacts in and out can get annoying so I just save them for special outings. I also wear makeup everyday - nothing too dramatic - just enough to create the illusion that I have somewhat of an eventoned complexion (it totally doesn't work on some days).

Anyways - this is a really good neutral looking makeup look for glass wearers by my fav youtuber Makeup Geek Marlena. She also shares some good tips for brightening up your face, as any glass wearer knows that those frames can create shadows or make your eyes look smaller than they are.

Here is Marlena's video:

Here are a couple more low-key makeup looks for glasses that I also like:

Michelle Phan's look - an ever so tiny bit more of a dramatic look:

I really like MissChievious's video below - great for work days:

and a quick 2 minute video on makeup tips for near vs short sighted vision (depending on your vision - your prescription may make you eyes look smaller or larger and this girl tells how to correct that):

more runway looks via the UAE

Kanzi is another Gulf brand that had pieces on display during Dubai Fashion Week. Here are some the picks from the line...

One very beautiful bright blue gown...

A gorgeous deep peach gown (my fav from the line) ad a cute ruffled black abaya...

And now from Indian designer Ekta Singh...

A gorgeous caftan variation in yellow or candy apple red...

A simpler red gown and another deep peach gown...

(my pick of the line) Grecian goddess-like in simple black and white...

A beautiful, flowing evening gown with a tie-dyed effect - crazy gorgeous... and a multi-coloured striped ensemble...

which is your fav?

hippy pull on hijab

I have been seeing this Malay/Indo style of hijab around me everywhere (may have something to do with all the Malays I work with... who knows...) and although I would look like a troglodyte wearing one (does not suit my head) it does look nice on other girls. Here is one that is quite hippy and sweet...

More from DFW

A chic black and white abaya-like garment...

Which is your fav?

Mimi does fashion... and does it well

Dubai Fashion Week has begun, showcasing the 2010 spring/summer delights. As always, Mariam Al-Mazro shook the catwalk up with bold prints, girly patterns and vibrant colours that just pop against the neutral background on the Dubai runway.

Here are some of the delicacies she had on show:

Miss Mimi herself with two of her creations....

Bright colours - Glam dresses (and glum faces)...

But it is the softer, warmer, earthy hues that I'm falling for...

My favourite from the collection. It reminds me of a soft Autumn; spending time in a field with some country boy called Joe who talks with a stem of straw in his mouth. (But in all seriousness - I love it! Very pretty and right up my alley)...
