Street Style Featuring Bellissima Scarves + 15% off!

I hope everyone is recovering well from the month of Ramadan, and Eid celebrations. If you have been anywhere around London, you will know that its been an absolute heat wave! Not that we should complain, I am sure rain will be on the way soon!

This week we are bringing you an (incredibly tanned!) Street Style post, featuring a lovely scarf from a company called Bellissima.

Bellissima, specialises in beautiful Italian scarves, that are chosen carefully and manufactured with love in Italy itself, making them all that bit special. The beautifully threaded fabric makes them stand out and a perfect choice for an occasion as they are subtle and uncomplicated

Here we have worn the Bellissima scarf with a black scarf underneath/bandana, so that the scarf can be worn loosely and easily fit those much needed sunglasses. Alternatively you can wrap the scarf tighter, or even backwards as a turban. However with such beautiful material, we like to keep pins away!

The scarf is teamed with a jumpsuit under an oversized blazer and vintage side bag, and is a perfect combination for an evening out with friends.

This scarf retails at £14.99, and is available in a number of different styles and colours. See the full range on the Bellissima website here, and also make sure to join the facebook page for special promotions.

As a post Eid gesture, Bellissima is offering our readers a great 15% their purchase. Simple enter 'Hijablicious' at the checkout to redeem your discount. Enjoy!

(Offer valid on the Spring/Summer Collection 2012 and expires on 22^nd September 2012.)

August 2012 Giveaway Time

So we haven't had a giveaway in a few months, and with Ramadan nearly over and Eid around the corner, we thought we will help get you into the spirit!

This month we are giving our lovely readers (yes, you are very lovely!) a chance to get their hands on an exclusive headpiece from a company called Moluccan.

The company was started my two sisters who are Moluccan, hence the name. For those who don''t known, Moluccan is the name of those who originate from the Maluku Islands, within Indonesia. (A little bit of geography for you all there :) )

The sisters from Maluccan have always been inspired by fashion and style and have since have turned that hobby into a business, selling stunning headpieces and also kaftaans which are unique and elegant.

This is the lovely headpiece we have up for grabs:

It can be worn over a hijab for an occasion such as a wedding, and also over the head if you don't wear a hijab. It is simply beautiful and will definitely make you stand out from the crowd.

How to enter:
1) 'Like' the Moluccan facebook page here

Good luck and enjoy the end of Ramdan!

Inspiration: Evening Nautical Style

Our latest style post shows how you can dress the nautical look, for an evening out. Simply replace the casual t-shirts with a lace dress, layer with jeans, and swap the anchored necklaces with more subtle high necked or beaded ones, keeping with the colour theme. Keep the outfit simple and plain, adding a splash of colour here and there in your bracelets or shoes... this has to be one of our favourite looks as it is so easy to recreate yet elegant!
