Street Stripes

Hi everyone!

The other day, I went to meet up with the beautiful beauty blogger Amal Saima RM. She is leaving for Pakistan tomorrow to reunite with her family, so we all had some desserts before she flies off. We met up at this place in Gadong called the Flapjack House. Flapjack House is a small cafe situated right behind The Arch at Gadong and is on the same building as the lovely Indian restaurant, Tandoor.com. I got to meet up with the other beautiful girls from Uni of Leicester; Amal Kasmirhan and Lee. I also got to finally meet my dearest friends Fahmii, Mu'izz, Arif and Mah. Not to forget Amal's longtime lover, Azeem. I stayed for an hour and we had our obligatory photo sessions!

Here's my OOTD!

1. Street Stripes

I went all casual starting with a striped maxi dress from ASOS which was very easy to slip on to. The only issue was that it was slightly see through and I had to wear an inner top and inner skirt. Otherwise a comfy dress. Maxis can be flattering and not depending on your body shape. I think the stripes  added a bit more shape to my body but also makes my 'after eating' belly more obvious! So beware of the shape of your maxis!

I wore a denim shirt over my dress which my sister got from River Island  for an effortless casual look and completed my outfit with my favourite Inayah Black Modal Hijab !








The next OOTD features the lovely and beautiful Amal K from http://bohemianbrighties.blogspot.com!

2. The Bohemian Brightie

If you haven't checked out The Bohemian Brighties, you must this instant! The Bohemian Brighties consists of two gorgeous sisters, documenting their beautiful adventures. It's a lifestyle, fashion and  travel blog that will leave you in awe.

Amal K is wearing a gorgeous blouse with a matching flowy hijab. She paired this with dark blue palazzo pants and added a hint of orange as an inner. She is fantastic with playing with colours and silhouettes and this OOTD deserves so much love!

I hope you loved today's OOTD and I hope you're having a fantastic Ramadan! 

With Love,

Ainul

Greek Meets Urban

Ramadan Kareem everyone!

I am back in Brunei and I have been suffering from the infamous jet lag. Yes it is really THAT bad. I have not had enough rest since I landed and I am having a hard time staying awake in the day time. Despite my crazy sleep cycle, our favourite Mu'izz Khalid and his very talented stylist Shahdon invited me to the opening of 'The Revelation of Muslim Clothing Event', a modest fashion function at The Centrepoint Hotel. This event features big labels and designers both local and from our lovely neighbour, Malaysia. We met Malaysia's very own Megat Alfie, who was super innovative and approachable! We learnt so much about the inspirations and details behind establishing a successful fashion line. Mu'izz, Mah and I had the first look at the vendors which caters for Muslim women and men. The event opens to public from 4th July to 6th July, 9:30 AM to PM. Go and have a look for some modest fashion inspiration or if you're feeling generous, take the opportunity to shop!


For this event, I felt like going for a sophisticated and elegant look. Modesty is the main priority and I came up with a colour palette made up of the shades baby pink, cream and white. Hope you enjoy this look!

1. Pink Metallic Grecian Maxi Dress.

Maxi dresses are one of the best things that could happen to the modest muslim women fashion world. They're easy to wear, very airy and super comfortable. This grecian-inspired dress has a chiffon overlay with metallic detailing, tassel details and an elastic waist. I wore an inner skirt to cover the shape of my legs and added a tasselled rope belt to incorporate that Grecian look. I got this at a good price from your one and only TK Maxx.
























2. White Blazer from ASOS.

I can't find the item on ASOS anymore but this is what I would suggest if I were to recreate this look (click away over here). A simplistic white blazer can go a long way. This one is by Hearts & Bows. It is loose fitting and the sharp shoulders give off sophistication while the length of the blazer exceeds the bottom of your bottom ;) and happily offers a complete cover up. My favourite thing about this is the collar which falls elegantly creating a slender look. Super flattering for all shapes and sizes.

3. Off-White Hijab.

I finished off my look with a cream hijab. I needed something to fit the sleek texture of the blazer and to neutralise the crease effects from the dress. A white hijab offers simplicity and a hint of sweetness since white stands for purity and cleanliness.

I hope you like today's OOTD! My eyes are burning and I need to head off now. Have a lovely Ramadhan everyone!

With Love,
