(I got this image from my friend from one of the online batik stores but there is no store's name ..., if you know, you can tell me, I'll put it here)

Do you like wear batik too, just like I do?

What is your traditional textile, and how do you wear it with your hijab?

Spring Blossom

Just found Polyvore... ^_^ I'm kind of too late, isn't it? But "better too late than never, right?... ;)

This is my first 'set' of outfits. I want to create a comfort outfits that will suit to hot weather in Spring and Summer, and the first come in my mind is... Spring Blossom! So, here it is:

Spring Blossom

In the Spring and Summer season when the hot wave hits, we need a comfort tunic, shirt, or tee, with breathable and absorbent materials. Not many layers, wear just one or two layers. And, of course, not so-tight hijab wrap style which allow air circulation... you can see how to wrap one of Hijab Style for Summer on my previous post here, the tutorial was presented by my favorite hijab-wrapping tutor, Sister Amena.

As the hijab accessories, a flowery hijab pins or a butterfly brooch would be a perfect match.

On my set above, you can wear the tunic just with the pants or the jeans, but if you want to spice up your style, you could add a mini skirt as an accent to your outfits.

What do you think? Do you like it? Do you have any other ideas how to wear a mini skirt for Hijabi?

UpDate: Style Inspirations

"The Real Her and The Drawing Her"s Original Link

This is an update for my previous post about a girl who dresses herself in her drawing (check her amazing styles and drawings here!).

Luchie from LUCHIELICIOUS has searched for the original site of the girl, and she found it. It is Nancy's New Blog is the title of the girl's blog.



The girl's name is Nancy (Xiaoxi) Zhang. Her blog is really cool... There, you can see many more styles of her, get to know where she got the style inspirations, and of course, her beautiful drawings!

I've been thinking... Do you think what I'm thinking? Yes! She must has a lot of cool stuffs in her wardrobe... ^_^ Lots of clothes, hats, shoes, bags, belts, and other accessories, and she must be enjoy playing around with her stuffs...

When I look around her site, and saw many styles that she has been created, my mind was flying to other site. Another cool style's site of the Hijabi Version. It's Ghaida's GDA's Gallery. I love Ghaida's styles, and she creates many fabulous hijab styles on her blog.


The difference is Ghaida doesn't draw herself in the dress she is wearing, but... she does has talent to draw clothing design.

And, the similarities are they both always try different styles, and both of them must have a lot of chic stuffs in their wardrobe (it must be easy for Ghaida because she has a boutique... hehe.. ;p)

Check out those two amazing sites to get some inspirations in style! ^_^

Style Inspiration: The Real Her and The Drawing Her

Recently Luchie, on her blog LUCHIELICIOUS, has featured a girl who dresses herself in her drawing (Thanks to Luchie for the inspiration... ^_^). The first time I saw the article, I straightly fell in love with the girl's styles and her drawings... very interesting!

She is so creative, and so cool! I love the way she 'mix and match' clothes, bags, and accessories (like hat, belt, necklace, and shawl) to create one style, and another style; And, her drawings... very cute, such a lovely girl in drawing. What caught my attention also is her drawing looks like the real her... hihi.. so cute, I enjoy looking at these... ;)

I would love to know more about this girl. And I searched the source of the article; but I couldn't search further for the original article. My searching ended at a website, Visboo.com, that is dedicated to provide entertainment news (it's an interesting site too, contains many unique articles). The site featured her and her drawings, but it failed to provide me the detail source about the original article.

At Visboo, there are a lot more styles of her and her drawings. Some of her styles, I think, are very hijab friendly. I want to share some of her hijab friendly styles that can be a source of inspiration for chic and edgy hijab outfits.

Here are my picked-up hijab-friendly styles of her. Check them out!
