Princess takes the spotlight

I haven't updated you on my kitty cats for a while now. They were born in November 2010. And I didn't know what to name them. Take a look back here to remember. :)

Well, I found out later on that the black one was NOT a male, infact, she is a FEmale. LOL My sis wanted her, so she had named her Aslan (pronounced aass-laan, meaning Lion, Leo) while we thought she was a he. If you remember, she is missing a foot and an eye. Mashaallah she is doing so great that you can't even tell that she is disabled. She's amazing! :))) My sis had named her Aslan in hope that she has a lion's heart and courage to make up for her 'missing parts'. My dear baby... As soon as I found out that she is actually a she, we had to change her name. While my sis was thinking up something new, I started to call her Ass... short for Aslan. I thought that doesn't sound good in English, so I added another letter and called her Asi (meaning Rebel, LOL). It was a familiar sound to her, I just didn't want to confuse her with a totally different name, and till now Asi (pronounced aa-see) she is!

Ok ok, boring stuff for those who don't care, I know! :))) Now I have kept the white one for myself. I love her sooooo much that I could not even think about giving her away. She is soooo cheeky, soooo playful... My God! Anyone who sees her will fall in love. She whinges and cries a lot when she doesn't get what she wants. She hates being alone. So when her mummy Pamuk goes off wandering she screams to be let inside to feel my presence at least.

So Princess takes the spotlight today, and she carries her name well...

Say mashaallah to my baby! :)

Priceless shot. Look at that tongue! LOL

Mother and daughter... Pamuk to the left and Princess to the right. :)

And plane jane moi... I just went to the fruit and veggie place so I literally threw on anything that came at me... I don't think I will be wearing this combo again LOL

Brand Watch: Baraka Women

To most Australian hijabis, Baraka Women SHOULD be a familiar name. Cos if you don't know or haven't heard about it until now, then don't say you live in Australia. Shame on you! :)) Ok, I'm kidding a little, but it frustrates me... the number of hijabis living in Australia and elsewhere know so much about hijab(i) brands faaar faaar and away, when there are stores/brands to provide an alternative locally, so close to home...

I first heard of the Baraka label 2 years ago. I know that they are in Sydney, and that they design/sell the simplest designs in the greatest quality. The fabrics they use are luschious and flowy. I'm sure one would feel like a princess wearing them.

I mean, I would definitely buy and wear, but they do not cater for my size. That is possibly the only negative I can think of. I cannot try their clothing even though I would love to. Another negative may be the price at first glance. However, when you see, feel the fabric, the stitching, the quality, you will understand that the price is well under it's worth.

So when I read an article in Vogue Australia November 2010 edition, I was proud... I was proud to see a label designed with hijabis in mind made it into Vogue! A big applause to Kathy Fry, the designer.

Nuff said! You can all go a browsing on the Baraka Women website and you can also go a shopping online too. Now how can you resist that? Especially with the perfect length dresses, sleeves... :)

Oh, I have to add that I love how Baraka Women are progressing very professionally. I love their lookbook. Here are some of their looks:

I love the colours used in this outfit. The model looks so comfy, peaceful wearing them. I love how everything flows.

A very smart look for any occasion. Loving the denim skirt...

This is definitely the dress tjat I wanted. I absolutely love the entire look.. the cardi... the dress... the balloons... :)))) However, the dress only goes upto a size L. :(

Wow! The model's legs look never ending! Okay besides the point, I like the entire look and I request more hijabs to be used in their next look book. Kathy? Please? :))

Lastly, I would like to thank Kathy for her kind email. At the moment, Baraka Women is giving everybody a FREE $20 voucher. So hurry before the end of the month/year as the offer will end soon. Quick! Quick! Quick! Get those mouses/mice (LOL) a clickety clickin'! :)

Has anybody purchased/worn a Baraka outfit before? Lemme know!!!

Oh, and you Sydney-siders can now visit their new store at:
