Looking for fun, part-time work (from home!) ?

Salam girls, I've been away for awhile and btw thanks to those who asked about me! I'm just really busy  starting a new career right now and I'm looking for somebody to help me with this blog because I don't want to let all my subscribers down; if you're interested just contact me at info@modestflair.com

Keep Rock'n Your Modest Style!

Winter Wear from Shukr

Shukr should be noted as one of the only Islamic clothing stores that offers warm winter clothes! Something a girl from Canada can really appreciate! They have wool items (even jackets), corduroy, and knit! Here's a sample of their warmer items! I have this black <----wool jumper and I LOVE it...I can just change up the look by wearing different under-layers (I wear bright colors underneath like fuschia, red, yellow..) so there's a tip for you: a jumper is a very versatile item, an inexpensive way to get many different looks.

Thanks Shukr!

Style Inspiration: Rayyan Hamoudi

Okay so she's a fictional character, but boy does she have style! If you haven't heard of Little Mosque on the Prarie, it's a sitcom about a Muslim community in a small town Canada setting, and it's pretty funny! Some of the silly situations are totally relateable! Rayann is a single doctor who wears hijab and keeps a level head amidst some pretty crazy characters! Her clothes are casual, but always wonderfully coordinated with her hijab! If only they'ld pull down her underscarf so that annoying little bit of  hair doesn't always show!! grrrr...just a pet peeve of mine. Okay it happens to me sometimes, but I'm not on TV! Anyways she's not even really Muslim, and I believe only one of the characters on the show actually is Muslim. Here's some photos of Rayann's style below, and check out the website here!: http://www.cbc.ca/littlemosque/index.php

P.S. I've been told I kind of resemble her..so if you've ever wondered what I look like...and I usually wear my hijab like her too :)

The J.Peterman Company

If you haven't explored the J.Peterman "catalogue", now online, you have to take a moment to step into his eccentric world - especially since a lot of the women's wear is modelled after the modest clothing of the early 1900's. You'll also find exotic caftans, long skirts, and wide pants from around the world. You'll find items from Morrocco, Turkey, India, Paris....mostly attached with pricey tags but you can find a nice sale item here and there. Even if you don't shop, just reading the lengthy product "descriptions" (more like stories) is entertaining enough!..and illustrations instead of photos...hmmmm, definitely not your ordinary store. But I happen to like it :) This guy/company was spoofed on Seinfeld for years, remember that? I always remember the "urban sombrero" episode. LOL.

How NOT-To Hijab

Visor Hijab

No no no no no. See, this is exactly why visor's have gone out of style, and why they've invented something called SUNGLASSES. It wasn't cool without a hijab, and it sure isn't any cooler with a hijab attached!
