OOTD - Same Cardi and Hijab, Different Look

I like to travel light.. contrary to when I was a lot younger. However, now that I am older, I probably think a little better due to experience, and I just don't like to burden myself with a heavy load.

Hence, I only brought to Melbourne with me 3-4 items that I can mix and match. So when I went out for brunch with friends today, I wore the same brick red cardi and hijab from the day of my flight... but instead of white, I went for black this time. Too easy! :)

For Melbournian readers... If you like crepes, Cravin' Crepes in Niddrie is a Turkish cafe and is halal. I did not order any of their crepes today... instead I enjoyed my gelati, but the girls absolutely loved it. So why not check it out if you are in the area? They have a shop front seating area, internal seating, and also a back courtyard like setting where you can also sit.

Keep in mind that there is ample parking available at the back, so don't be frustrated seeking parking along Keilor Rd. It's annoying! Luckily we went on Sunday, and were able to find a spot quite quickly (we had no idea about the parking at the back).

So yeah, that's worth a try, and it was nice soaking in the sun... make use of the last few sunny days we have I say. And yeah, I repeat, they serve halal. :) Oh and one more thing: there's only one toilet for males and one for females... so if it's packed and you have bladder issues, just don't leave it to the last minute. :)

Feels like spring, does it not?

Well my question is directed to Melbournians and Sydney-siders... We have had the most beautiful weather in the last few days mashaallah despite it still being winter in Australia. Ahhh, Melbourne's gorgeous days are soon to end, but that's expected.

Anyhow, I am packing to move all my furniture to storage this weekend. Then possibly going up to Sydney the week later. Praying for all the best, and a little unsure about the future. Feels like a new life...

Ahh alhamdulillah, pretty busy and tired, so I can't blog much, but I had to go out and run a few errands today, so the first time since last week that I wore something other than my pj's. LOL So I thought I'd share rather than to leave the blog without any action. :)

So what do I love during warm weathers? Nautical! Didn't really put much thought into it, but I absolutely love this little military-like cardigan from Asos.

So how's Ramadhan going? :)

Day off from work

So I haven't posted anything since the last day of HFW, Sunday last week.

I'm currently working three days of the week; Monday-Wednesday. It's so cold and breezy in Melbourne... and also back in the warehouse I work, so I freeze all day... by the time I get home, all my energy is drained out of me, I feel very tired and ill... So I am constantly getting sick due to the cold... which is why, all I do is read all the blogs I'm following, then go to bed. Not much energy left to write unfortunately. I really do miss it...

However, today is glorious Thursday! My day off from work. :) The first thing I did last night was to sit up to a late late hour... then what do I do? I wake up in the morning at work day time! Grrrr. When I noticed that I'm actually at home today, I pulled the quilt over my head and continued to sleep a little more. LOL

So after that I had to run some errands. I thought I'll do an outfit post today, since it's been a while...

So here you go.... Another casual and neutral outfit. I'm wearing my utmost favourite hijab: the Burberry inspired pink Armine hijab. :)

I expect myself to post a little more in the upcoming days.. I have a wedding to attend on Saturday too. Sooo yeah there should be more stuff coming at you! :)

Mwahhh...
