Some more Hijab Art...

I haven't been posting hijab art photos for a while, only because I was overseas and therefore off duty. So me is back on the ball!

I know one of the sweetest girls, and she asked me on short notice if I could help her out. She was going to her sister's 21st B'day part... they were celebrating at home, but it was going to be a costume party. She had this lovely Japanese inspired dress that she wanted to re-use (you can't see the entire outfit in the photo because she didn't have the caftan-ish coat with her boo hoo!). So she thought of going for the Asian look. I don't think we could achieve exactly what she wanted due to the oh-so-drool-worthy headpiece she found. Mashaallah she ended up looking more like a princess. :)

Here is the end result... Oh, and sorry again about the photo quality.. I promise the photos will be better soon inshaallah!

Hope you liked it.

Toodles!
xoxo

Sarar Scarves - 2009-2010 Autumn/Winter Collection

Finally Sarar has updated it's silk scarf collection online. I've been waiting to see what they have in store for us hijabis this season...

Sarar's scarf range is actually quite new. Well, if I say new, I mean a few years... The brand is actually a very old and well-known top designer brand in Turkey. They have a deep-rooted history in the fashion (clothing) industry, but they do not cater for the muslim community like the other brands that sell scarves.

As you will see below, Sarar's scarves are worn by non-hijabis as an accessory... I had mentioned in past blogs that I am not really fond of scarf companies using non-hijabi models to showcase almost their entire scarf range, but in this case it is different... As I said, their targeted customers aren't entirely hijabis... Sarar has been catering generally for the rich and elite society, and the scarves are a part of this also. However, even though their scarves are 100% silk, they're cheaper compared to other brands - they sell at approximately $50-$55 AUD, while the others sell between $80-$300. Oh and the quality of their silk is excellent. In addition to this, they have some very nice designs. I actually liked the previous season's range more, and I think I liked that model more too :) but this season aint so bad either.

Anyways... I will be bringing in a range of Sarar's scarves to sell soon inshaallah... As most of you know I currently sell through Facebook (see details on the right side of my blog), but my webpage will be at your service soon inshaallah!

And now, enjoy some eye candy...

I would like to believe that she is wearing faux fur (it must be!) :) but she looks hot don't you think?

Lovely colour combo... Always love pink/grey and purple/grey.. also I had heard that leopard designs designs are coming back... Sarar has these designs on a few of its recent collection. We see some of the mentioned trend on this scarf... I like the fact that they've played with the designer "design" and made it their "own" :)

Gorgeous colour, plus the scarf is on her head (even if some hair is showing)... that's a bonus! lol

Scarves with maps on it are increasingly popular in Turkey... I'm liking them too...

Loving the colours...

If I didn't know this was a Sarar design, I would have thought it was one of Emilio Pucci's...

I don't particularly like this scarf... not really my style, but I've put it here only because I LOVE GREEN! :)

I like brown... I also like the combination of colours used on here...

My favourite... I love vibrant colours on black which is why I usually wear a black outfit with a colourful hijab... I will definitely be getting one for myself inshaallah! Had I mentioned that this is my favourite? :)

So what do you think? Do you have a favourite? You can browse through the entire Sarar Scarves catalogue and the Sarar Clothing catalogues online.
