Snakeskin is such a sleek and sophisticated print; and it’s one of my favorite prints to wear — especially when it’s done in shades of gray. In today’s post, I just want to show you some hijab-friendly snake print pieces from my favorite place to window-shop — Shopbop.com.

HIJAB STYLE SPOTLIGHT : SCARF NECKLACE
One of the common questions that Muslim women ask me is “What type of necklaces look good with hijab?” If you’re struggling to figure out how to accessorize your hijab style, or if you just want a unique look, you’ll be happy to know about Lubna Salah and House of Shakti.
Lubna is an amazing jewelry designer out of Beverly Hills, California. She created a gorgeous amethyst bead (tasbeeh) bracelet for me a few months ago, and she has just launched another item that would be great for Muslimahs: The Scarf Necklace.
The Scarf Necklace combines cotton fabric with strands of gemstones to create a circular scarf that takes the guesswork out of accessorizing your hijab. Check out the link below to see more Scarf Necklaces and to see pics of how to wear them… And when you’re done, come back here and leave a comment to let us know what you think!

HIJAB STYLE FINDS : LONG-SLEEVE MAXI DRESS!
Salaam ladies! Today I want to share with you a really great hijab style find that I discovered tonight on ideeli. It’s a long-sleeved convertible maxi dress by Ravon.
This is actually a plus-size dress but I would recommend that women who are NOT plus-size pick it up. Why? Well, you can see from the pic that it’s a form-fitting dress–which is a hijab style no-no. But, if you are smaller than the size of the dress, it will fit you nice and loosely… That’s why I’m buying one. It’s only $59 and I’m sure that I’ll be wearing it A LOT.
This winter, I plan to pair it with sleek boots and a fur vest, my fave black blazer, a denim jacket… the options are endless! To me this is the perfect LBD, long black dress… This will definitely be $59 well spent. Click here to check it out (it’s in the Plus Size Chic section) and then leave a comment below to let me know what you think.
Salaam & Salaam!

**This message is rated MA, which means that it’s ONLY for MArried women (or women who want to get married).
I have a question for you, sister…
When was the last time you wore something sexy?
On your honeymoon? Before you started wearing hijab? Never?
Well if you’re married, sexy clothes should be staple items in your wardrobe… At least that’s what your husband probably thinks.
No matter how much he doesn’t mind you being comfy in your sweats, t-shirts and flannels, your husband would LOVE to see you looking sexy once in a while… And be honest, don’t YOU want to look sexy too?
Hopefully you have a good husband who tries his best to look away from all of the half-naked women that he comes across every single day. He knows that he’s supposed to “lower his gaze” and he knows that he has a beautiful wife – YOU – to come home to… But what do you look like when he gets home?
Is your hair done, or is it a mess?
Are you wearing the same raggedy old clothes that you wore two days ago?
Did you even shower before he came home? (Be honest!)
Let me ask you another question: Have you ever felt inadequate in comparison to “celebrities” on TV or women that you encounter in your everyday life?
Well here’s the thing…
You don’t have to compete with those women for your husband’s affection because he already loves you… Now let’s grab his attention and make him love the way you look. Better yet, let’s make him drool over you… think about you all day while he’s at work… stare at you with passionate desire when you’re in his presence…
No matter what size you wear, what hair you have, or how much money you have, YOU CAN become the object of your husband’s desire.
I’ll teach you everything you need to know when you join my Secrets Of Halal Sexiness Class. You’ll learn:
…What makes a woman desirable
…How to LOVE your body and be confident in your own skin
…How to be naturally beautiful
…How to dress attractively no matter what your body type is – without spending a lot of $$$
…How to create a sensual environment for yourself and your husband to enjoy
…How to create romance without waiting for him to do it first
…And much more…
Secrets Of Halal Sexiness is a two week “virtual class” that you will participate in from the privacy and comfort of your own home. The class will be taught via LIVE teleconferences. I will teach each lesson over the phone and you will be able to interact with me and ask questions.
There will be 6 lessons, which are:
Lesson 1: Sexy Mind
Believe it or not, the sexiest part of a woman’s body is not her booty or her breasts… It’s her BRAIN. Being a sexy woman starts with creating a sexy mindset, and in this lesson, you’ll learn how to enhance your relationship just by using your thoughts, how to boost your confidence, how to stop comparing yourself to other women, and how to exude sexiness from within.
Lesson 2: Detox YOU
There is no point in looking good if your body and environment don’t give off the same feeling. In this lesson you’ll get rid of the physical “junk” that is cluttering your body and your home so that you can make room for romance.
Lesson 3: Beautiful Body
In this lesson, you’ll discover your assets and accept your “flaws”. You’ll also learn how to take good care of your body – from getting fit to grooming painlessly.
Lesson 4: Dress to Impress
Learn the essentials of an attractive wardrobe, how to be comfy and cute at the same time, how to be alluring from head to toe, and the easiest way to create a sultry makeup look.
Lesson 5: Sexy Space
Learn how to create a sensual, private space where you and your husband can go to relax, let go, and enjoy each other’s company – even if you have a house full of kids.
Lesson 6: Cultivating Romance
Don’t wait for your husband to turn into Prince Charming. If you want romance, you need to create it, and this lesson will teach you how. Being romantic is fun and your husband will love the initiative!
Are you ready to be a modest lady in the street and a Sexy Woman at home?
Yes?
Well first let me warn you that if you don’t think it’s important to look good for your husband, you should stop reading this right now. (And yes, your man should look good for you too… The amazing thing is that once he sees what you’re doing, he will start stepping up as well!)
So how much is this going to cost?
Before I tell you the price, I want you to think about how much money you spend on fast food, entertainment, your cable bill, and all of the other things that we waste hundreds of dollars on every month. What if you put some of that money into something that will actually benefit your life?
You probably don’t know this, but I am a Life Coach and a typical 90-minute session with me would cost you $125. But you won’t spend that much, and you are actually getting 6 sessions with me (which would normally cost $750).
Because it’s a group session and because it’s the first class that I am offering online, you can sign up for the Secrets Of Halal Sexiness Class for just $37 — which is less than $7 per session!
You will get all of the benefits that I’ve mentioned above, PLUS you’ll receive personal coaching from me on every session.
Please NOTE: there are only 100 “seats” 67 seats 28 seats 9 seats available now in this class, and thousands of women are reading this message right now (this site gets 1.6 million hits a month, alhamdulillah!)

Class starts on Monday, October 31, 2011 and ends on Friday, November 11, 2011. UPDATE: Due to the upcoming Eid holiday, class has been rescheduled to Monday, November 14, 2011 and it ends on Friday, November 25, 2011. The live lessons will be taught on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 10pm EST – and the calls will be recorded so you can listen to them at any time… Don’t miss your chance to sign up!
See you in class,
Jokima Hamidullah
Life Coach, Fashionista, Muslimette
P.S. This class is not for women who think that looking attractive is the MOST important part of marriage. It’s for women who simply want to enhance their intimate relationship with their husband by enhancing the way that they look and feel about themselves… And who wouldn’t want to do that?

HIJAB STYLE : ACCESSORY FILE
From golden bangles to chunky chains and cocktail rings, there’s nothing like a great piece of jewelry to finish off an outfit. When it comes to hijab style, earrings are typically out of the question, so I’ve always focused on bracelets and rings when shopping for accessories. For a long time, I didn’t really consider necklaces as hijab-friendly items because my hijabs always covered them up. But luckily, extra-long necklaces are trendy right now and it’s easy to find necklaces that are long and substantial enough to be worn with hijab.
Check out some of my jewelry picks from Shopbop.com (yes, I’m still mildly obsessed with that site!). And tell me, are you an accessory fiend or is your hijab your only must-have accessory?

HIJAB STYLE BY REQUEST
“HijabiLadi” left a comment the other day asking me to recommend a few ShopBop items that are under $100 and hijab-friendly. So, here’s a quick post for her.
The first piece that I chose is a striped shirtdress that currently costs $49.50. This top can be worn open over a t-shirt and jeans for a casual look. Or, you could wear it with slacks and loafer pumps to the office.
The second item that I chose is a tropical pink maxi dress. This particular dress has side slits and deep plunging lines at the top, so normally I’d say that this one is a hijab no-no. However, I think it would actually be quite stylish to have a pair of wide leg pants peeking out through the side slits; and a long-sleeved tee would cover up the plunging neckline very well. This dress is priced at $93.
The third item that I chose is a convertible skirt/dress. I think this piece is cool because it can function as a must-have maxi skirt on one day of the week. And then on another day, it can be worn as a top with pants and a blazer. This one is on sale right now for $82.60.
The last piece that I am suggesting is a tiered maxi dress which costs $68.60. I’ve seen many tiered maxi dresses that overdo the “tiered effect”, so I like that this one has only a few tiers. As you can see, this dress fits close to the body at the top. So rather than layering it over a long-sleeved tee, I’d recommend wearing it under a thin cardigan for better coverage.
I hope this post has been helpful to you ladies, and I’ll be making more cheap chic posts very soon, inshaAllah.

HIJAB STYLE EDITED : FANCY MAXI DRESSES
Maxi dresses in basic colors like black, navy, and white are great hijab style staples for summer — and every other season for that matter. But what do you do when you want to add a little bit of spice to your wardrobe?
Sarah from Toronto emailed me for help with this. She wants to find a few maxi dresses that are fancy, but not too over-the-top. So, I headed over to shopbop.com (I’m a little obsessed with this website at the moment!) to find some options for her. Check them out at the links below and tell me, which style is your favorite?

HIJAB STYLE INSPIRATION
The other day, I was browsing through the lookbooks at shopbop.com and was immediately drawn to the image above. I love everything about this outfit! The brightly colored dress, the neutral striped sandals – it’s all very chic… But of course, I could never wear it outside.
This often happens to me when I’m flipping through magazines or looking at fashion photos online. I’ll see beautiful pieces that are put together in a really great way. Sometimes the outfits are complete hijab style no-no’s (think: anything formfitting). But most of the time, all that’s required to make an outfit hijab-friendly is a little bit of layering.
To make this particular ensemble fit for a hijabi, I paired the dress with wide leg pants, a fitted long-sleeve tee, and shiny accessories. And of course, I’d top it all off with a pretty hijab style.

WE LOVE HIJAB LOVES : WORKWEAR BY SETRMS UK
Every woman has an I’ve-got-nothing-to-wear-to-work day now and then. But, I think that Muslim women have it the hardest. Why? Because we have to find clothes that are clean, professional and modest enough to wear to work – and then we’ve got to find a hijab to match. I’m sure that many of you working women know what it’s like to find something halfway modest in your closet – for example a sleeveless tunic – only to realize that the long-sleeved t-shirt that you normally layer it with is in the dirty clothes bin…
This brings me to one of the reasons why I love the new fashion franchise called Setrms UK. While most designers sell suits that feature jackets and skirts that are too short to be hijab-friendly, Setrms UK offers long jackets and long skirt-suits that make it easy for a Muslimah to get dressed without having to worry about layering, mixing, and matching.
Some of my favorite items of Setrms UK’s first collection are their long jackets. The one pictured above is called Tulin and I can imagine wearing it in several different ways. You could wear it to work by pairing it with wide-legged pants (as shown above). You could dress it down by pairing it with jeans and a t-shirt. Or you could wear it with a simple maxi dress.
Click here to see what else Setrms UK has got to offer. And be sure to sign up for their email newsletter (at the bottom of their website) because they’re giving away a free silk hijab to one lucky subscriber… When you’re all done, come back here and let us know:
Would you wear this type of clothing to work? What do you normally wear to work? What do you think of the Setrms UK line in general?

HOT TOPIC : CAMEL HUMP HIJAB STYLE?
I found this video about Rabia Z. –an Islamic clothing designer based in Dubai– the other day, and when I watched it, the infamous “camel hump” hadith came to mind. To be honest, that hadith always comes to my mind when I see pictures of Muslim women with these huge humps -for lack of a better word- under their hijabs. Check out the video below…
The hadith in question: Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There will be in the last of my ummah, scantily dressed women, the hair on the top of their heads like a camel’s hump. Curse them, for verily they are cursed. [At-Tabarani and Sahih Muslim]
Now, I know that there are probably different interpretations or viewpoints on this hadith, but another issue comes to my mind as well, and that is the issue of deceit. Many of us know that Muslim women should not wear wigs because that is a form of deceit – leading people to believe that you have hair that you really don’t have. Is wearing all of this “volume” under your hijab doing the same thing? Is it leading people to believe that you have more hair than you really do?
Personally, I am a “to each her own” type of person. I feel that we should be judged by our intentions and since God is the only One who knows our intentions, He should be the only One who judges us.
That being said: What are your thoughts on this hijab style and the trend of wearing things under your hijab to make it look really big? Do you even like the way this looks or do you think it looks strange?
Comment below to leave your opinion.
P.S. Here’s an interesting comment from a Muslimah who actually tried wearing her hijab in the Rabia Z. styles and found that it was causing her physical pain… Seems that there could be multiple reasons not to wear your hijab like this.
DESIGNER HIJAB STYLE : SILK HIJABS AND LONG SKIRTS
We Love Hijab is back with more hijab and fashion ideas from ideeli. If you’re not familiar with ideeli, it is equivalent to a TJ Maxx or a Marshalls in that it offers huge discounts on designer clothes. The difference is that ideeli’s sales are for a limited-time only.
Today’s sale features beautiful long skirts and 100% silk scarves by a company called Love Shop. The silk scarves come in several pretty colors and prints, including the rose print hijabs pictured above. The long skirts come in a couple different colors as well, but there is also a white tiered skirt that I think is a great hijab style staple for Spring.
ideeli is an invitation-only website so you’ll have to register to see more styles from Love Shop. Here’s your personal invitation. Sign up (it’s free)!

HIJAB STYLES FOR LESS: HIJAB FASHION TRENDS SPRING 2010
Today’s hijab style set has two purposes. 1. I wanted to demonstrate a more subtle way to mix prints within one outfit. And, 2. I also wanted to do a post (as requested) about Hijab Styles For Less (thanks Mira for the title!).
Mixing prints is a pretty hot fashion trend for Spring, but in my opinion, that look can leave you looking like you got dressed in the dark. Nevertheless, I still love this trend and I think that mixing prints can look more chic than crazy by following a few tips:
1. Keep one of the prints neutral in color.
2. Keep one of the prints simple.
3. Keep the shapes classic.
The long skirt that I’ve used in today’s hijab style set fits those three requirements perfectly. It’s black and white, it has a simple striped print, and it’s a classic a-line shape. The blazer is also classic in shape, but it has a bright pink, floral print which carries this look in to Spring 2010.
I finished the look with neutral pieces: black booties, a black pashmina hijab, and a large mother-of-pearl cocktail ring.
HIJAB STYLES FOR LESS
This striped long skirt by Xhilaration costs about $17, so it’s a very affordable alternative to the skirt featured in the hijab style set above. I don’t think it would look good with the floral jacket, but if you want a striped skirt in your wardrobe, this one would be a great choice.
So, what do you think? Would you mix prints? By the way, I’m sure that some of us have mixed prints before by wearing a floral scarf with a pinestriped pant or something similar — even if not on purpose. Have you?

A reader on Muslimette.com left an interesting comment today, which reads:
“You’re right – non-muslims don’t have much problem with the hijab. It’s muslim girls and women who are ‘ashamed’ of it in a way. To some people, wearing a hijab is akin to slumming it, like not living up to what life is offering. But we have to face it – this life here is just a transition spot for the true believing Muslim. Sad and such a shame they cannot realize that…” -Z.
I have been wearing hijab since I was about 12 or 13 years-old and I can honestly say that I’ve heard more negative comments about it from Muslim women than from non-Muslims. None of these women actually wore the hijab and their reasons for not doing so range from “the hijab makes my hair fall out” to “I will start wearing hijabs once I’m out of college”… I wouldn’t say that I’ve heard a lot of these comments, but I’ve heard enough of them. On the other hand, I’ve only heard one or two negative comments about hijab from non-Muslims in my entire life (not counting the stupid things that a few people have said in my blog comments).
What about you? Do you agree or disagree with Z’s statement? Have you encountered more Muslim women who dislike the hijab or more non-Muslims who have a problem with it? If possible, please let us know what country you live in so that we can get a feel for what it’s like in different parts of the world.

DESIGNER HIJAB STYLE : SILK HIJABS
In case you haven’t heard of it, ideeli is an invitation-only shopping website that offers limited-time sales events on designer brands at deep discounts. My sister invited me to join the site 2 weeks ago and I’ve been addicted to it ever since. I check it every day to see if they’ve got anything on sale that’s cute and hijab-worthy and today I made a great find! They’re selling silk scarves by Christian Lacroix! I don’t really care about labels, but some people do, and either way the scarves are really pretty. The one above is $54, but you can’t check it out unless you’re a member of ideeli. Here’s your personal invitation. Sign up (it’s free) and let me know what styles you got, if any.

HIJAB STYLE FINDS: LONG DENIM SKIRT
Today’s hijab style set is full of neutral textures. The featured item, a long denim skirt by Shukr Islamic Clothing, is a classic wardrobe essential, but the pleating detail makes it a bit more special than the average long denim skirt. A soft cardigan contrasts the stiffness of the denim, while the woven handbag and nubby, suede boots add additional elements of texture. To finish off the look, I chose a fringed, pink hijab which adds even more texture and a pretty pop of color.

Apparently, BCBG Max Azria has created a new fashion trend of wearing long sleeved tees underneath sleeveless dresses… Message to the fashion world: Hijabis have been doing this for years. You guys are a little late. :o)
