HIJABS DU JOUR : PYTHON PRINTS
In this edition of Hijabs Du Jour, I’m featuring the “wildly popular” python print trend. Ok, so I’m being a little corny! But, the trend is really hot right now and I was able to find a number of hijabs that work back to it.
I already have a nice python [...]

MODERN ISLAMIC CLOTHING DESIGNER : SAOULI
I love, love, LOVE Saouli! In case you haven’t heard, Saouli is a growing European fashion brand complete with boutiques, runway shows, and an awe-inspiring line of modern Islamic clothing. I first fell in love with Saouli about back in 2007 when I found out about their US fashion debut [...]
HIJABS DU JOUR : MINI FLORALS
After an odd week of snow, the air smelled like Spring here on the East Coast today — and that has me in the mood to start talking about Spring fashion trends!
Up first, is the Liberty-like mini floral print trend. What would Spring be without flowers, right? This season designers [...]
HIJAB ESSENTIALS : NORMA KAMALI for WALMART
I don’t check Walmart.com as often as I probably should. Like Target, Walmart has started to collaborate with well-known fashion designers to create affordable collections for the masses.
Right now, they are selling some fabulously affordable Hijab Essentials that are designed by Norma Kamali and I’m about to go to [...]
HIJAB Q&A : IMITATING THE “DISBELIEVERS”
[UPDATE: I will continue this post later on inshallah because I am too busy to sit and write it right now. Sorry for the delay.]
Rather than continuing with my post entitled “Is Hijab Overrated Part 1?“, I am going to start addressing the questions about hijab that I receive from [...]
HIJAB ESSENTIALS : CARDIGANS
Cardigans are a huge trend for this year’s spring days and summer nights. But for hijab-wearing women, they are year-round wardrobe essentials. I love cardigans because, like blazers, they provide a polished finish to my sleeveless outfits, yet they are more comfy and easy to wear than most jackets.
The cardigan featured in [...]
MODERN ISLAMIC CLOTHING DESIGNER : ARTIZARA
One of my goals is to create my own line of Islamic clothing in the future, inshallah. I love the behind-the-scenes side of fashion just as much as I love the clothes, so last week I caught up with Helen of Artizara.com to find out more about their modern Islamic [...]
HIJAB STYLE STEAL: ECLECTIC CHIC
I came across the picture on the right online and I love the way the Muslimah is mixing textures, prints, and colors to create her unique look.
My outfit is a little less daring than hers because I was going for a more sophisticated look. I guess the idea is that [...]
Hijab-To-Toe at Target
As you may have guessed, this post is all about finding everything – from hijabs to shoes – all at one store. Today, I’m shopping at Target and the outfit is full of hijab fashion essentials.
The sweater wrap is great because no matter how low cut your clothes are under the sweater, you [...]
Video : Winter Tips for Hijabis by thevintagegoth
I found this hijab video on YouTube tonight. In the video, the sister is giving a few tips for hijabis to use in the Winter time. The one that I really like is the first tip, which is to wear two hijabs instead of one in the Winter. [...]
IS HIJAB OVERRATED? PART 1
I think that it is and it isn’t. This may surprise some of you because this site is all about how much “We Love Hijab“, but I think that some people take the concept of hijab to an unnecessary extreme.
On one hand it is seen as an oppressive, cultural, or otherwise [...]
I have a habit of posting expensive outfits (that I can’t afford!) just because they are pretty. So, I am challenging myself to create outfits that cost $100 or less, TOTAL.
Up first, I’m featuring this Tencel Halawa Dress by Shukr Islamic Clothing that is on sale right now for $60. Okay, I know that I’m [...]
HIJAB FASHION TRENDS OF 2008
The Winter Garden trend is next up on my list of the Top Fashion Trends of 2008. I love this trend because it’s all about femininity… flowers, paisley, and rich embellishments on a darker, wintery color palette.
The silk maxi dress that I chose to illustrate this trend is definitely not an [...]

WE LOVE HIJAB LOVES : TOP FASHION TRENDS OF 2008
Lace is up next on my list of the Top Fashion Trends of 2008. Every girly-girl needs a little lace in her wardrobe; and while there are plenty of lacy clothes in stores, many of them look too much like lingerie to be worn outdoors.
For hijab [...]
WE LOVE HIJAB LOVES : TOP FASHION TRENDS OF 2008
From now until the end of the year, I’ll be counting down ten of my top fashion trend favorites of 2008. Starting with the Purple Trend.
From almost-blue to bright lavender, the many shades of purple denote a feeling of richness that is hard to resist. It’s [...]
HIJAB STYLE REMIX : BLAKE LIVELY
I love the look of wearing a cropped vest over a long shirtdress and this modesty makeover featuring Blake Lively is the perfect opportunity to showcase that style. What I love about Blake’s look is that it combines a classic striped shirt with modern pants and trendy oxford pumps. I [...]
The Rules & Regulations of Muslim Fashion
The Washington Post did a really nice 3-part video series on hijab and Muslim fashion. The sister in the first two videos gave a really balanced and accurate description of what hijab is (alhamdulillah!). But my favorite video is the third one which actually features some style options. Watch [...]
Dubai Street Style
A recent edition of Current TV’s Street Style series featured Dubai fashionistas. There were only a couple hijabis featured and although their clothing may have been too snug for me, it’s always cool to see hijab fashion videos in my opinion.
This subtle purple-striped drawstring-waist dress by Gap is today’s Adore Du Jour. What makes this dress a great Islamic clothing find is that it’s affordable, long, and loose.
To style it, I chose a lightweight wrap to provide arm coverage, dark trouser jeans (a better option for summer than heavy jeans), coordinating accessories in black and [...]
