I Heart Chanel

Who doesn't?.. Well, there may be some of you who don't... too bad! :))

I love the classy and sophisticated lines of Chanel designs. I especially love them when they can be easily hijabified!

Check out these super maxi skirts combined with blazers. I would wear this to a wedding or a major special occasion in a heart beat!

Have a looksie and tell me what you think...

Mwahhh

Yep, they are from the Chanel 2011-2012 Winter Collection. Don't expect to see them in any summer collection. They are 'too' covered! ;)) Yeah, I don't get it... As if everyone takes off all to bare everything to sizzle under the sun when the temperature hits anything 20 degrees celcius and above. Would it kill to sell some stuff during spring-summer that's a little less revealing?! Sheesh

Oh, and I look forward to implementing this style in my own way. I may not be able to afford Chanel attire like the majority, but I do own a few flowy maxi skirts or I can get something like this made by a tailor... and I do have a very nice blazer with a cute cut. Now all I need is a nice shirt with a collar that screams, "hey, I'm here!" The hijab part is easy... You shall see if/when I use this combo... It might be soon or not so soon... depends if there is going to be any event to which I can wear it. :)

Ciao bella :)

Accessory of the Season: Neckplates

Do you want to jazz up a plain outfit? Well then you can do so with one of this season's hottest trends: the neckplate!

I had been seeing these around in some Turkish and American blogs and had saved some for inspiration, because I am interested in designing some of my own (obviously if/when I can be bothered to do it - I just create a large mess in certain places of the house when being crafty) - I'm currently collecting items that I can use...

Anyhow, while I was thinking that the neckplate would not be a trend in Australia (I'm talking about the beaded ones and the ribbon ones rather than the metallic and crystallized ones), I picked up Instyle Magazine's October 2009 edition, and there it was... "this season's hottest trend" hmmm....

To be honest, I don't really know how it can be worn with the hijab... I know some hijabis tuck the remaining parts of their hijab inside their jacket or top, etc.. so they wouldn't have any trouble wearing these, but if you like myself prefer to wear your hijab out rather than inside your tops, then you might find it difficult to wear these. If you do have an idea or if you do wear these accessories on your hijab, please share your style... I am very interested!

In the meantime ladies, check out some of the current styles...

This one is a Nina Ricci design

This hottie is a Lanvin design



This is one of Herve van der Straeten's designs

And this beauty is a Chanel!

I soooo love the Chanel one!
