Urban Freeze

It's been blizzarding here for almost a week, so I thought I'd do a wintry, warm, cozy, yet urban outfit. I love the oversized wool coat with high-heeled boots. The leopard scarf is the hijab, and the knit one is for the neck :). The knit fingerless gloves are the perfect touch to a chic outfit for a cold night in the city.

Classy Nautical

The nautical trend is so much fun to wear, and I feel like it's bold yet easy to pull off. You could go small with a little sailor or sea-themed piece of jewelry, or you could go a bit more bold, like seen above with an anchor hijab. Here I've fused a nautical themed piece with an elegant, business-y outfit, and I feel like it works well! Hope you like it :)

Winter Trend Alert: Chunky Knits!

If you've been watching the runways, the stores, or just people around you, you know that chunky knits are a huge trend this season. Actually, they're kind of a classic that are always in fashion for winter and fall, but definitely this year. I absolutely love chunky knits; sweaters, scarves, cardigans, everything! They look fabulous, but are as comfortable and warm as wearing pajamas. What more could you ask for?

A chunky scarf in classic red is the perfect accent to any winter outfit...

The gorgeous Emma Watson sporting both a chunky knit sweater and scarf!

Rust and neutrals are also gorgeous for the winter time.

And the grand finale...

I bet there is a variety of animals and unidentified creatures living under that gray scarf haha.

Tips on wearing this trend:

• Don't wear your hijab in a long, flowy style with a chunky knitted accessory or sweater; it will render you a bit. . .frumpy. Keep your hijab in a small, tidier style. Because chunky knits are large and loose, it will compensate for any chest coverage that you may lose by wearing a smaller hijab style.
• Try tucking your hijab into your knitted scarf, and wear the scarf round (similar to an infinity scarf) like the rust-colored scarf in the image above Kate Bosworth. Don't let your hijab dangle out of the knitted scarf; it'll look messy.
• If you're outfit is a little bit too "chunky," try belting your sweater to create a more polished look.
• Layer wisely. Don't shy away from loose chunky sweaters that hang over the shoulder. Wear a tight, long sleeve tee under it. Play with layers and colors to create gorgeous yet cozy hijabi outfits.

Autumn Tassels

Leather and neutrals/rusty colors are perfect for the colder seasons! Big gold accents can completely transform an outfit.

Slate

So I discovered this amazing website called looklet.com! It's like Polyvore but there are models and pretty backgrounds!! Haha but I love that you can see everything on, and it has different options on how you can wear it, and it's all very real.  AND some of the scarves can be worn on the head like a hijab! Well more like loosely draped but still haha. The only thing is that it has a lot less variety of clothes than Polyvore. So I will be using both, I'll probably alternate between the two depending on what I feel like :)

Soft Edges

This outfit is edgy, yet so feminine and elegant at the same time. I love those huge, flat clutches that look like you're holding a clipboard lol. They're so bold and gorgeous. 

Shimmering Nude

Here, I paired a nude/metallic stiff skirt worn high on the waist with a white blouse under it. Along side it there's a casual nude cardigan, with  a shimmering hijab and metallic-toe flats. A few pearls and jewels on your wrist, a shiny-finish nude handbag on your arm, and you're good to go. :)
