HIJAB FASHION WEEK: Look 6

NOTE: All photos were taken prior to posting date, done sometime in April 2011 therefore it does not depict my current condition of health. But hey, no harm in participating right? :)

Day 6 - Vacation / Travel: What would you wear on vacation or while traveling?

WHAT I'M WEARING: Native printed cotton scarf from SHOP SPUTNIKSWEETHEART | Audrey Trench Coat from SHOP SPUTNIKSWEETHeART | Equestrian Pants from The Shoplifters | Pink Suede Pumps from ZARA | Vintage Faconnable round shades | Vintage box bag ♥

So you see I'm your atypical tourist running around in trench coat and shades and pumps, a really fashion conscious tourist! During this shoot, I think Aishah and I laughed pretty hard at some of the funny poses I made with this outfit. Ya know how funny we are when we go somewhere touristy? We even want to take photo next to a lamp shade if it looks rare in our foreign eyes. LOLOLOLOL! Okay pretty much laughing at myself right now.

Inspired by my favorite superstar's music video - Yuna Zarai with Gadis Semasa

My last hmm sort of travelling trip was to Malacca with Naz and his two Sony colleagues. One was Arai-san who came from Japan and since he was really nice to Naz and took Naz to a whole lot of place when he went to Japan for business trip, so we thought we should return the favor.

Here's some photo from the trip, I think it deserves a whole post of it's own so maybe in the next entry? ;)

Eh, I think I should've used this outfit for HFW! I did travel in my 5 inch wedges and walked miles in it. Glad the boys accompanying me were the most understanding and never once complained (complain dalam hati cukup! hahahah!). Anyways, gonna edit and upload the Malacca Trip April 2011 photos soon! ♥

HIJAB FASHION WEEK: Look 5

Another outfit I didn't manage to take an outfit photo of is this;

Day 5 - Jummah: This HFW we don't have Eid, so I thought since Jummah (Friday Prayer) is very specific to Islam, it would be nice to include it instead of Eid. This category also covers the general question of what would you wear when going to the mosque?

Maxi Dress; I think would be anyone's first go-to clothes when it comes to going to Jummah prayer or mosque. More like an abaya. It covers most of the part of your body and keeps it modest. I would personally choose something loose like this and cinch it up with a rope belt ala Gucci.

Jacket; Worn as an outer cover outside of the mosque or more precisely on my way to the mosque. I love the simplicity of this blazer with colored hem and pocket, it does kinda remind you of a bath robe doesn't it? But the texture and fabric makes all the difference :) This particular example is from Haider Ackermann.

Shoes & Bag; the armored heels, almost covering most of my feet but not quite. And to match, I would chose something like this, stripes has just made trendy again by Prada. I love a square bag with a long sash like this I suppose, easier to fit all your make-up essentials + prayer outfit (telekung).

Necklace; a tiny little necklace with Faith as it's locket ♥ It's only appropriate.

Hijab; and to sum it up, a printed soft pastels silk hijab to complement the whole color block outfit. I rarely wore printed hijab but why not for a special occasion like Jummah prayer to do so?

What do you think of this outfit? None the less, in the mosque we will all be donning white and be as much the same as the next person next to us in Allah's eye. Although it might not matter what we wear underneath, but it is also important to remember that Allah loves beauty and if we can get all dressed up to a dinner date or to a wedding, why can't we do the same under the roof of Allah's prayer house? :)
