Update and Holiday OOTD #1

Hey guys!! Long time no see hey....I've been rubbish at blogging recently and my schedule has been bussyy but I'm going to let you know what I've been up to.

I was recently on holiday in Istanbul and Dubai, which was amazing and didn't want to come back :(

I'll be sharing some holiday snaps as well as outfit of the days in my blog posts-starting with this post :)

For my past post on 'A guide to Istanbul' click here

Topkapi Palace

This is an outfit I wore in Istanbul. The weather was similar to the UK-cold and woolly jumper season. I purchased the green jumper recently from HandM at half price for a bargain £7! The plain teal hijab is from Princess Rockz and is a maxi, which means it's extra wide for plenty of coverage at the front and back.

The uber cool necklace is from Camden Market. My favourite buy is the faux leather jacket from Oasis.I've been wearing this with practically all my outfits. Shoes are Forever 21 and maxi skirt from HandM.

OOTD: Vogue Style!

HEY GUYYSSS!!!! I'm back with an ootd post!! This is an outfit I wore for a graduation party. I decided to mix a black waterfall dress with jeans for a casual look. The grey blazer is from from New Look for a bargain price of £13. ( I went a little crazzzzyyy in there but that's another story!) I've turned the sleeves up to reveal the black lining underneath for that added twist.

The jeans are my sisters which surprisingly fit me well, even though she is 5ft8 and I am a petite 5ft2. They have a zip detailing at the side which provides for a comfortable fit. (I want to 'borrow' them from her)

Yes that is a toilet door...

Back of dress

The hijab is from Princess Rockz old collection (around a year old) but is one of my favourite crinkle hijabs. This hijab is sold out but there are similar designs on the website.

OOTD: Brights and Stripes

I've been quiet on the blogging front so apologies for that (did you miss me?) :p

The next few posts will most likely be brief and outfits of the day that I haven't posted for a while.

This is one that I wore a few days ago, casual but comfortable. It has been warm in London and the weather is set to continue.

Roses and stripes

The hijab I'm wearing is from my website-Princess Rockz. I've had it for a while but it has only just been re-stocked again after selling out the first time. The hijab comes in a few other colours as well so take a look :)

Allow the veiny hand

The bracelet is from Street Princess which I will be writing up a review on.

Turkish Hijabs-How to wear Square Hijabs, Turkish Style

Many years ago I would wear square hijabs with all my outfits and they would be either white or black. Nowadays there is so much choice that I've swapped the drab, old square hijabs for colourful and vibrant hijabs that will match my outfits.

                                                              Candy Rain Hijab

                                                             White Square Hijab

                                                          Dark Blue Square Hijab

                                    Bubblegum Pink Square Hijab

                                          Ethnic Pink Square Hijab

                                            Maroon Square Hijab

                                                 Silver Square Hijab

                                        Ottoman Blue Square Hijab

I made a hijab tutorial using the 'Ottoman Blue Square Hijab' where I show 2 ways to wear a square hijab in the style that is often worn in Turkey. Have a look at the video below and don't forget to share the video and subscribe to my Youtube channel :)

Here are a few photos of the style :)
