Hijab & Ootd For Aidil Adha Celebration

Happy Eid al-Adha to all Muslims. This Eid also known as the Feast of Sacrifice, is celebrated by Muslims across the world to honour Abraham's (Ibrahim) willingness to sacrifice his only son Ismail on Allah's command. Arabic language and the word "Adha" means sacrifice. Also known as Bakr Eid or Bakrid, Eid al-Adha falls on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the 12th and final month of the Islamic calendar. This year, this festival falls on Thursday, 24th September.

 

 

                 

 

 

 

                

            May Allah deluge innumerable blessing and barakah upon you and your family.

 

 

Symbolically muslim devotes all around the world sacrifice camels, lambs, goats, cows, or other animals and offer prayers. The meat is then divided into three portions; while the family members retain one third of the portion, another portion is given to relatives, friends and neighbours and the remaining is given to the poor.

  

What my family & I had :- Lontong with Sambal Kacang , Sambal Ikan Bilis , Saudi Arabian Rice with chicken Manchurian and Laksa Johor.

 

As part of Eid celebration, every Muslim is encouraged to wear beautiful & decent outfit.

So this was the look that I had on Eid Adha 2015 .24th September is indeed a day to remember . Lastly , don't forget to keep me in your prayers and once again Happy Eid Adha!

 

Hijab accesorising

Assalamualaikum & Hello Everyone !

             Praise to Allah we are given a chance to enjoy our weekend. How's September going so far ? Are you girls planning to go out for  any occasion ? Lunch date with your special someone ;-) ?  This was the look I had on to my friend's mansion when she organised her birthday celebration. I decided to wear something simple yet elegant. Therefore , I chose this long dress " jubbah" and my pull-over instant hijab .

Drama Hijab Accessorising

I needed accessories boost up the sense of elegance

Therefore , I decided to have tinch of drama by accessorising my hijab & clutch

Appreciating the simplicity of the outfit, I am putting it together with my chunky accessories to give a touch of dramatic to my appearance.

Jubbah - Luxe Ethnic Chic ( ZALORA)

Necklace - Fashion Valet

Choosing the accessories is not something that you can decide in a blink nor walk in the park! Take a look at yourself, are you introverted or extroverted? Do you want to be seen? Do you have a strong personality? Keep in mind only those who have strong personality can carry chunky & dramatic accessories. There’s nothing wrong of giving it a try. Hence, take risks! You’ll never know if drama accessories look magniloquence on you!  However, accessorising is very individual.

My Hijab Styling Experience

Assalamualaikum lovelies ,
   Okay apa kata harini kita chit chat about hijab ! So, ramai yang masih confuse on how to look gorgeous yet have that chic look ala ala arabian look gitu... tapi will it look flattering on you? Hihi nak share experience Eyra nak buat tudung ala ala "Chic Arab " but end up gone wrong pulak! My lovely readers , will get the chance to know more about hijab that suits you well . Here's my experience in styling hijab wrap.
                                          After experiencing few methods of wrapping the hijab style Alhamdulillah this look matches me. 

 

Peplum - Zalia , available on Zalora

Heels - Vincci

LOL there's a story behind this . Cerita dia , I punyalah excited , nak try hijab styling end up astaghfirullahalazim... I don't know how to put in words tengok gambar je lah :p here's a picture of me trying to style it few years ago . Rasanyaa...5 tahun lepas kot 

Haa…. this was my first attempt on wearing wide shawl. LOL!

This picture was captured few years ago unfortunately it turned out pretty bad and so, I told myself maybe this isn't the best hijab styling that I could rock daily. Later on, I decided   to watch this Youtube tutorial regarding Arabian chic look and I was inspired by her. I'm pretty sure most of you girls have heard of Ruba Zai and you could say...  that I am truly inspired by her creativity in hijab styling. After trying different methods, it turned out pretty well. Therefore, , when it comes to hijab styling you won't master it in a blink! Thus, practice makes perfect. Keep in mind, that Rome was not built in a day. The reason why I decided to start writing a blog to inspire beautiful woman regardless of age and to embrace beauty as well as enhance it with proper ways of styling it . I am indeed a one lucky person to get the opportunity to gain more knowledge on how to look applauding with or without hijab. Besides, I think I should make use of what I master from PICD - Professional Image Consultant  and my 5 years experience in the field. Wanna know more? Ada banyak lagi , its not just about hijab styling nor how to wrap it , it also consist of your facial shape , color that suits you and also to match it with your accessories . To know more , stay tuned ;-) for exciting tips ! If you have any questions feel free to comment down below or email me at pop.the.blast@gmail.com
