New Hijabicap Style and Old Fav's

Im back from another shopping spree. Getting ready for the fall and winter involves revamping and updating my wardrobe. I love adding new pieces and mixing and matching new styles with old favorites. Speaking of new styles, check out these cute new Spanish Rose Hijabicap styles! I just love them! These caps come with hijabs and neck covers already assembled into one piece. So easy to wear and great for fall weather - keeps your ears warmer :) I also listed two of my old standby favs that are back. If you're a busy mom like me, and dont always have time to make an ornate hijab fashion wrap...these are a great alternative.

Hijabi Style's Stylin' Sisters: Ariba's Pakistani-American Hijab Fashion Looks

This Stylin' Sister caught my eye with her unique sense of fashion and ability to mix different styles across a multi-cultural spectrum creating a gorgeous look all her own! Ariba's look is elegant, classy and hip. I love her style!

Ariba on her hijab style: "My Hijab Style is inspired by many things. I like to be creative with it--layering, mixing and matching, and trying new things. But one thing I absolutely love to do is come up with new hijab styles for Pakistani clothes. The designs are so unique, I love playing around with hijab styles until I get a perfect match!"

Isnt she chic Masha Allah? :)

Hijabifying Your Style - neck/chest scarves

Eileen Fisher Cotton Voile Shibori Wrap from Bloomingdales



Kalamkari print square scarf from eShakti




Antique Floral Print Scarf from Forever21




Neck and chest coverage is in - and has been in for over a year! Even the veil fashion models have joined in on this one. So we have no excuse not to wrap it up! The best thing about the trend is that its very mainstream-chic, which means thats you'll blend in more for a change! How often does this happen to a hijabi, really???!!!

Take advantage of this style fenom. You can go by just about any ladies shop and find a slew of scarves, or you can bust out your old square/oblong scarves and keffiyas. You dont have to drop a grand on this accessory craze...and you'll be adding to your modesty :) No excuse not to cover up "the girls" now!

Hijabi Street Style - Then and Now

The top photo is particularly poignant - this isnt your mom's abaya collection! - My how things have changed. As the world becomes a smaller and smaller place due to the internet super highway and global transportation we see many new changes in fashion all over the world. Muslimas and their style are no exception. Young Sisters are adopting trendy runway fashions while trying to meet the requirments for hijab. The line between faith and fashion is beginning to blur.

Meeting the requirements for hijab incorporated with trendy runway fashion : What do you think about these outfits? :)

New Summer Style Idea - Kimono Sleeve Maxi Dresses!

Paisley Print Kimono Sleeve Maxi Dress on Ebay



Black large print paisley kimono sleeve maxi dress



Abstract print kimono sleeve maxi dress

I love these because they offer more coverage than the traditional strappy (or strapless) style maxi dress. All these styles were found on Ebay, a Sister's best friend for great fashion finds. Ebay rocks. Happy shopping! :)

Hijabistyle Shopper Tip: When searching Ebay, narrow down the results by using the key words: "maxi dress kimono"

If you just search "maxi dress", you're gonna end of with about 7,000 listings.

* a nice kimono sleeve maxi dress isnt very expensive at all. Expect to pay around $35.00 - $45.00 with shipping. A pretty sweet deal. :)
