Catching up

There isn’t any excuse for the lack of updates on my side. For the past couple of months, I’ve been idling at home doing stuff such as laundry, babysitting, and even cooking. But most of the time I was catching up on my daily Hindi serials on Star Plus and ZeeTV. Heeee…

I would have spent more time outside if not for my husband’s busy schedule. Who would have thought that an educator’s life is always so busy.

But the holidays are here FINALLY! The first thing we did as a couple after a long time is to catch a movie. A movie date means an opportunity for me to dress up. And that means, this is a fashion post.

So this was what I wore to our movie date.

We caught the movie in town and I’ve been noticing that many young Muslimahs now are dressing up more. They don the hijab and make it fashionable. Long gone are days when hijabs are known as a piece of cloth to cover a woman’s head. Now it’s part of a fashionable Muslimah (Muslim woman) attire too. But some of you may not agree with me here.

Yes, the Hijab is an obligation for Muslim women so that their modesty is protected. But that doesn’t mean you can’t dress fashionably and make your hijab part of your fashion statement. Islam is never about restriction. And thus, you should never see the Hijab as an obstruction to fashion. With it, you can still dress modestly and be fashionable.

Speaking of being fashionable, I am working on a big project right now and I hope it falls through. InsyaAllah. And when it does, please do support me.

Harajuku Street Style Launch Party at Tangs

Sponsored post

Earlier this month Fai and I were invited to the Harajuku Street Style Launch Party at Tangs. We were expecting an exclusive party (by invitation only) but boy, were we wrong.

The party was huge and since it was on Level 4 at Tangs, it was also open to the public, especially since they were having a 10 percent off on everything sale until 11pm that night. Thus, we were definitely not expecting the crowd. In fact, we were like lost lambs. That changed when the models started strutting down the runway.

The party featured 15 different fashion labels from Japan, such as KBF, Dip Drops, Coen, and Mystic. Honestly, I’ve not heard of these brands before. Gasp! I know!

But I definitely know tiny bits about the Harajuku world. In fact, when I heard of Harajuku Street Style, I was expecting bolder and quirkier fashion. I didn’t expect fashion from the Japanese capital to turn out so mellow. Haha. I can definitely see someone like me – a Hijab/Tudung Girl, wearing some of those clothes.

The clothes on the runway definitely caught my eyes.

I was so in love with the top outfit that I ended buying the pants/jumper. Can you imagine that I got the last piece?

But the most memorable part of the event was a photo with MTV VJ Utt.

Mandy Moore in Monique Lhuillier

This dress was the first thing that caught my eyes. Look at her. She looks like she has just stepped out of a fairytale (pun intended). Our dearest Rapunzel is looking really stunning in this original Monique Lhuillier.
