Strong and too many bold colors sometimes look overpowering and messy. Try to 'soften' bold hues with this simple mix-match to smarten up your look.


















Simply partner neutral colors with hot pink or crisp blue for a cool, minimalist feel...

As a continuation of my last post about Hijab Dupatta, today I post two tutorials on how to tie a Shalwaar Kameez Dupatta (Indian Suit scarf / South Asian traditional scarf), which is commonly very long and slippery, into a hijab.

Here's the tutorials from Amena on her youtube channel:




Hijab Tutorial using a Dupatta with a border.

Here's how to tie the scarf so that the border is visible around your face and neckline:




Hope these tutorials would be useful for you, especially for you who live in South Asia, like India and Bangladesh... :)

Readers' Style

Nusrat Sami, one of my readers from Bangladesh that I have featured here few days ago, sent me her photograph wearing "dupatta" as her hijab.

She wants to show us how she wears dupatta as hijab. She said to me that the girls in India and Bangladesh who wear Shalwar Kameez (Indian and Bangladeshi suit) find it difficult to drape the dupatta as hijab, as it is too long and not like the usual hijabs we wear. Concerning to this, she said she have found a way to drape dupatta as a hijab in a fashionable way.

What do you think of her style?

Dupatta Hijab

Do you also wear dupatta as your hijab? How is your style?

If you don't know yet what "dupatta" is, here's a bit explanation about it, quoted from Wikipedia:

Women from Jaipur, India wearing Salwar kameez and dupatta

"Dupatta is a long, multi-purpose scarf that is essential to many South Asian women's suits. Some "dupatta suits" include the shalwar kameez and the kurta. And it has long been a symbol of modesty in South Asian dress. The primary use of a dupatta is to cover the head and/or any inadvertent cleavage and the contour of the bosom." 

"However, the use of the dupatta has undergone a metamorphosis over time. In current fashions, the dupatta is frequently draped over one shoulder, and even over just the arms. Another recent trend is the short dupatta often seen with kurtas and Indo-Western clothing. Essentially, the dupatta is often treated as an accessory in current urban fashion."

Spring/Summer 2010

Inspired by Wall Street gravitas, these runway pinstripes will be an investment-worthy to your wardrobes.


You can teaming up the pinstripes with unexpected floaty floral silk dresses, as seen at Roberto Cavalli, or Dustbowl era tea dresses à la Ralph Lauren.

A sharply tailored blazer by Ralph Lauren is well matched with loose jeans, a classic shirt and a brown leather belt. My favorite looks are picture number 2 (pinstripes-suits by Vivienne Westwood... Love the sophisticated cut of the suits), and number 5 (peach-pink dress paired with pinstripes-blazer by Ralph Lauren... Beautifully feminine... and I think the pinstripes-blazer adds a smart tone to the dress).

What do you think? Which look is your favorite?

For this upcoming weekend, merge the look into your weekend wardrobe and wear with roughed-up denim and a classic T-shirt.

I think these new maxi jumpsuits from Miss Selfridge would be perfect for Summer. It looks light, chic, and comfortable. Cover the tops with blazers/cardigans/light-coat and of course with the long ends of your headscarves. Pair with wedges sandals and a classic tote for a directional daytime.

A new way to wear long pashmina from H&M:

Do you wear a long headscarf or long pashmina? Do you wrap your long pashmina in a Loose Casual Wrap like Hana-of-StyleCovered's style?

But... do you find the long ends of your pashmina hanging around and they keep distracted you and blocking your activities?

Perhaps you should try this style from H&M collection's lookbook... Just put the long end of your headscarf/pashmina under the belt, like this:

What do you think? Chic?

Have you try it? I know I will... :)




As a hijabi, can we wear a mini skirt? Yes, of course. CHANEL shows you the way for it... :) Here it is:





Imagine the headdresses as headscarves... :) What do you think of this style?

Hijab styling tips: Find a simple plain-color long-sleeved maxi dress or a long skirt that can act as a layer under all signature suits you love to wear.

Happy experiment with your wardrobes!
