Tutorial Hijab Ala Paris

Hijab  Tutorial

This hijab style by HijUpCom would definitely be one of my favorites ;)



Note that you need a MAXI (in length and width) rectangle-shaped scarf to get this style..

When I tried this style, most of my scarves in my wardrobe have a less length compared to the scarf in this video, so I couldn't get exactly the same look with the style taught in this video. Then I simply twisted the style, or modify it a bit..

Hmm.. another reason to buy a new scarf? hehe ;)

The scarf's material in this video is cotton-rayon, but it doesn't close the opportunities to use other materials such as chiffon, cotton-paris, or linen.. I've tried (I have a chiffon scarf in maxi size), and it works really well.. As for materials like satin or silk, they are slippery.. I'm not sure they will work well if wrapped in this style.

So, have you tried this style? What do you think of it?

Asymmetrical Hijab Style and Tutorial

Asymmetrical look in hijab style has been on trend lately..

If I'm not mistaken, this style was first introduced by Rabia Zargarpur, a renowned Muslimah clothing designer from Dubai, UAE, with her signature gathered top sheyla.

Then after she introduced this style and wore it herself, I noticed that some online shops followed to produce shawls/scarves which imitating her designs.

And not too long ever since, following the blooming of these asymmetrical draped-look shawls, there are a mass production of asymmetrical inner scarves, especially in Indonesia, with this kind of "ruffle" on the forehead which gives an illusion of asymmetric.

Salsabeela by Ollie, a Muslimah-clothing online shop based in Indonesia, also designed and produced this kind of "hair bangs" inner scarves.

Some people thought this style can make you look younger instantly.. ;)

Nowadays, particularly in hijab shops in Indonesia, there are lots of variation and modification on this asymmetrical hijabs, either on the scarves/shawls themself or on the inners.

Some of these asymmetrical hijabs/inner-scarves came up with the addition of jewelry or beads embedded on them, like these ones from NuHijab:


You can get these NuHijab looks on Style Plum.

So.. now you can choose, to simply buy the instant asymmetrical-look scarves; Or, make your own by following this tutorial, taught by the renowned beautiful Sister Amenakin of Pearl Daisy.

This wrap from Amenakin was called Asymmenakin.. ;)



Below are one of her looks using this wrap style..

This is also one of my favorite looks of her.. Looks very stylish and beautiful as always, doesn't she? :)

Make your own asymmetrical hijab look by making a ruffle on the forehead-side of your inner scarf or your hijab, then sewing the ruffle to make the ruffle stay in shape... Voilaaaa!!! You now have an asymmetrical-look hijab/inner.

You can add beads, a bow from ribbon, or knitted flower, by sewing it right on top of the ruffle to spice up the look.. ;)



So, what do you think, lovelies? Which one do you like, the symmetrical or asymmetrical hijab style?

Hijab Wrapping Tutorial using Square Scarf

First of all, Eid Mubarak to you all.. Taqobbalallahu minna wa minkum.. May Alloh SWT accepts all the good deeds and things we've done in the past holy month of Ramadhan and also in our future days.. Amiin :)

About a month ago, I stumbled upon this youtube video by zielahamir73.. This is a hijab-wrapping tutorial video that showcases her very first try making a tutorial video.


I love on how easy the wrapping was done.. and even more.. a chic different hijab look as a result!

I've been trying to wear this style for a couple days, and I love it.. especially when I replaced the "usual" ball-tip pins, as being used in this video, with my favorite 'bow' hijab pins from velvet pins ;)

So, what do you think of this hijab style?

I have been so busy lately and have no time to write... As a mom of two boys and a wife, and working on a bit of small entrepreneurial things I'm trying to work out.. are already consuming almost all of my time! I only had a very little time for my "me time".

During this "little me time", I usually fill it out with blogging and reading. I love reading since I was a kid. And blogging.. I love it since I knew it several years ago.. :) These activities make me feel fun and fresh with new knowledge, info, inspirations, entertainment, and sometimes humor I got from them.

But, when it comes to blogging, I got distracted easily.. you know, with so many news and exciting info, I can help it but read them all one by one, and.. when I realized, ohh, my "me time" has run out and I haven't share a thing yet with you guys! :p

(Update: I read in one book that there's a site named ReadItLaterList.com that is useful to save and make a list of what we want to read later. I surely need to check this out.).

Or, I have been too tired to blog after I finished up my "duty" as a mother and a homemaker :)

Sounds cliche? But I definitely sure that many of you, especially Mothers, feel this way.

Many self-development books also have taught us how to be an effective person, how to manage your time effectively, how to be a very good multitasker, how to not get distracted easily when you are working (in my case, blogging) and so on. But still I feel that I am not as effective as I want to be.

So, I have to mind myself to keep learning on this my best.

Okay then, here is today's newsflash for you:

Today, the countdown begins for the launch of new Karl Lagerfeld collection:


Click the picture to read more about it.

New modest fashion lines come from:

Saby H, a New York based designer coined the word Shehjaab for their fabulous scarves. It is a blend of two words, Shehzaadi, which means princess in Urdu and the word Hijab. Here are some of their scarves I love:



Cocoon Clothing from UK with lots of modest, chic clothing collection:

A new, unique, scarf-necklaces from House of Sakti is a scarf united with handcrafted healing jewelry (a necklace composed of healing-quality gemstones).

This fabulous long scarf, along with the necklaces, has a circular/infinitive shape. Here, in my city, we used to call this kind of scarf: a tubular scarf.

The scarf is made of 100% cotton.. the fabric is so lightweight, thin, and available in 10 colors.


With their unique, infinitive circular-shape with a necklace, these scarves can be worn in many possible ways. You can wrap it, twist it, just keep playing around with it until you find the style you love.

You can place the necklaces on the front, at the back, or style it up as a headband; Or, wrap the scarf as a bolero.. It is up to you to get creative and be inspired.




Mariam Sobh of HijabTrendz has made a tutorial on how she wrapped her scarf-necklaces. And, she really love to share this tutorial with you all..

So.. Enjoy! :)



You can buy this scarf on House of Sakti's website: here.

For a week round, I was searching for online Islamic clothing stores, especially those which based in Indonesia. I found some that impressed me (whether it's because the style they're bringing up or the affordable prices they are offering). Many of them based their stores on Facebook.

Few stores also share their tutorials in hijab styling. I've picked two of the stores that I thought their tutorials are interesting, easy to follow, and suit for 'everyday style': 

1. Hijup.com
It is a new online Islamic clothing shop based in Indonesia. What is interesting about this shop, besides the cool hijab tutorials on their site, is they collected boutiques/collection from some Indonesian Muslimah Fashion designers, such as Shabby Chic by Ria Miranda, Anemone by Hannie Hananto, Casa Elana by Fifi, Hanna, and Anneke, Mainland Heritage, Delisha Hijab, etc., then united them into one website; So, we can visit all the boutiques in one site and buy them online.

If you are interested in Indonesian Hijab Fashion, you can check out the site here.

And here are the hijab tutorials by HijUp.com:









2. Dila&Zata Shop.
It's an online hijab fashion store founded by two best friends, Dila and Zata. I met and be friended with them in Hijabers Community Yogyakarta (we are just know for a while and not very close, or even they might be not remember me anymore.. hehe, because I do not attend HCY's events very often). But, I can tell that they are kind, friendly... and very stylish! I adore their style and like the hijab tutorials they taught, either it's offline, like at HCY-Dixie's mini fashion show last Ramadhan, or via their blog or Facebook page.

Here are some hijab tutorials by Dila&Zata Shop which they share online:
The styles are simple yet chic.

Turban style:









Dila&Zata Shop sells chic hijab fashion. I love their collection: it's young, chic, with  fresh colors. One item I would like to buy but already 'sold out' is their inner hood. It can be wore as an inner scarf or wore the way it is.

They said they will have another production on this inner hood.  

Hi, Dila&Zata, let me know if you already had them in black and pink! Thank you.. :)
