Cafe Society--to Jum'a

This is an old set I made. I love the niqab and abaya, and I'd wear with with brown flats to the masjid, and cute brown brocade flats after (I'd also do a purple patent kitten heel) lol, but I am too lazy to remake my collage. The abaya was from IslamOrient, and the niqab was from ebay.

Wild Thing: a brown flip niqab with a leopard pashmina

My husband bought me a plain leopard print pashmina from Le Chateau a long time ago. I used to wear alot of khaki and white linen pant suits before I converted to Islam so he knows I love tans and brown but have never been able to pull of head to toe brown. So I loved the leopard pashmina with a brown jilbab like this one http://www.jannah.eu/pd279529606.htm?defaultVariants=search0_EQ_M/L_AND_%7BEOL%7D&categoryId=1 for $35.99 GBP. I recently bought this http://www.sunnahstyle.com/product_info.php?pName=two-piece-velcro-niqab-dark-chocolate&cName=niqabs-2piece-niqabs niqab from sunnah style, and it looks great with the leopard pashmina. Tomorrow inshaAllah I am going to look for a cheap pin like this one http://www.wetseal.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=15997&ref=ws_aff_pf_k147466&source=pf for $6.99 USD to clip up the niqab in a cool way. Taking inspiration from the colours of this Egyptian Hijab mag fashion pic, I am going to liven up the brown with a pop of some bright colour, like purple, orange, or lime, in the shoe, but keep the bag a neutral. Now this hijab won't match the niqab at all, but it looks like the egyptian fashion pic on the side of the collage there http://www.charlotterusse.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3548812 and it is only $6.99 USD.

I LIKE: i recently bought this dark brown niqab....

I recently bought this Two Piece Velcro Niqab (Dark Chocolate) for $10.99 USD from Sunnah Style.com (which is a site I know and trust). I intend to pair it with this old Imaan Collections.com jilbab I bought a while back. If I don't end up wearing the niqab I'll probably just pair it with this http://www.thecanadianmuslim.ca/catalog/item/1533717/5652234.htm cute hijab for $19.99. I can't wear head to tow brown with niqab else I end up looking like a Catholic friar that lives down the road from me. I like orange with it, though I'd find ruffled flats or something.

SUITCASE STYLINGS: for Majda, Hawaii

My take on the "blue Hawaiian"---- A blue Hawaiian doesn't always have to be haraam----of course the alcoholic cocktail IS, but not this blue wonder. Surf's up Majda in this turquoise and coconut-brown floaty frock from CHIFFON PEACOCK ABAYA (AQUA) for $59.49. I know you [M of the Island] requested coloured niqab and abaya sets and it is hard to find stores that sell specific matched sets that aren't just navy, brown, light blue, grey, olive, and in my luckiest case, aubergine, so the key is finding a good match. This brown niqab from http://caravanxpress.com/Qstore/Qstore.cgi?CMD=011&PROD=1100172788 for $17.50 USD makes a cute addition along with this coconute-skin shadeded shayla http://yhst-17428391916310.stores.yahoo.net/ob5335.html. I JUST LOVE IT with the turquoise sunglasses. Hope you do too. For the rest of you, I'll leave you with my inspiration for Majda's concoction: my favourite Vogue shoot in Hawaii (um, unlike Canadian model Daria Werbowy, please leave your bathing suits and short skirts and shorts and tops and things under your abayas):
