If you’ve been waiting for me to feature plus size clothing on WLH, this Hijab Style Find is for you. Today’s find is a kelly-green cardigan by ON. I like this cardi because it’s feminine (the elasticized puff sleeves), affordable ($30), and it comes in three basic colors (black, white, and tan) and two jewel-tones [...]
HAUTE HIJABI : ANGIE
The Hijabi:
Angie, a 17 year-old Egyptian-American high school senior from NJ, USA.
Angie on her Haute Hijab Style:
“I have been wearing the hijab for 8 years now ever since the September 11 attacks in New York City. I saw many of my Muslim friends taking the hijab off because they were afraid of [...]
Today’s Hijab Style Find is another nod to Global Pink Hijab Day. This pretty pale pink top features intricate embroidery, bishop sleeves (a favorite of mine!) and soft pleating detail in the front.
Hijab Style Tip:
This top is made of rayon and as you can tell in the picture, it’s very soft and flowy. To balance [...]
This year’s Global Pink Hijab Day event is scheduled for Wednesday, October 28, 2009. As you may know, the purpose of the event is to support Breast Cancer Awareness month by having Muslim women wear pink hijabs for one day. This campaign is especially important to me this year because one of my loved-ones was [...]
Today’s Hijab Style Find is this gorgeous paisley print maxi dress by One World. This dress is so pretty, don’t you think? I am in love with everything about it, from the elegant paisley print to the vibrant colors. And the fact that this dress costs less than $50 makes me like it even more.

EID HIJAB STYLES : SITI
The Hijabi:
Siti, 28
Location:
Singapore
Occupation:
Secretary
The Look:
Another festive look featuring Singpore hijab style – tunic and pants set.
I love it because…
the tunic has gold accents (my favorite metallic color!) and the pants are an example of the original inspiration of fashion’s harem-pant trend. See how Muslim women inspire mainstream fashion?
What I’d change…
Not a thing. [...]
EID HIJAB STYLES : HASLINA
The Hijabi:
Haslina, 28
Occupation:
Singapore
The Look:
A beautiful abaya, silky hijab, and brooch.
I love it because…
rather than wearing a plain abaya, Haslina wore one with decorative green accents. Very festive!
What I’d change…
Nothing, at all. This look is very modest and elegant… And I really want that abaya!
What do you think of this look?
What did [...]
EID HIJAB STYLES : TAMEEKA
The Hijabi:
Tameeka, 25
Occupation:
Clerk/Student
The Look:
Gray skirt, silky patterned top with ruffles, ombre hijab.
I love it because…
the black, yellow, gray, and white colors are really elegant. I also like the fact that she found a way to show the ruffled neckline on her top whilst wearing hijab.
What I’d change…
Nothing, really. This look is [...]
EID HIJAB STYLES : AMNA
The Hijabi:
Amna, 24
Location:
Canada
Occupation:
Stay-at-home Mom
The Look:
Maxi dress by Gypsy 05, tee, large bangles, and a fringy hijab.

of the cool blue and green color palette… Very ocean-esque as we move into Fall. BTW: Kudos to Amna’s sister for the lovely photography!
What I’d change…
I like this look, but I’d do one [...]
