Introducing the Resham Collection plus 10% off!

It may seem not long ago that Eid was upon on...and we already have another one to look forward to! This week we are bringing you a style feature showcasing scarves and accessories from the company Resham Collection.

The Resham Collection is a new store operating online has a stunning range, and prides itself on quality and professionalism towards each detail, including their customer service and packaging. Their ethos is to deliver 'fashion that is both modest and modern and combines east with west'.  That sounds great to us, and we were excited to receive their products.

We have 3 scarves that we have styled with autumn looks, as well as accessories including a necklace, hijab pin and bracelet.

African/Aztec Print Hijab Scarf with Gold Crystal Spike Necklace 

This gorgeous maxi scarf is great for autumn and mixes the seasonal colours of mustard, golds and browns perfectly. Here we have styled it with an evening outfit, woolen dress, ankle boots, a funky side bag and also a necklace from the Resham Collection.

Ankle Boots-Primark

The scarf is £9.99 and available here. We absolutely love the spike necklace, because it hangs perfectly underneath your scarf,  whilst you can also wear it on top.  The Necklace is also £9.99 and comes with earrings.

Grey Plain Scarf
This scarf is light grey, and subtle, making it a good match for those outfits where you have a lot of print or patterns. Beautiful soft material, made from a cotton/viscose mix, and large size means you can gather it at the top or the front
.

 Here we have worn the grey scarf with a checked dress, and boots for a casual day look, finished off with a leather jacket.

This scarf is £7.99 and we have accessorised it with a pin, also from The Resham Collection called Russian Velvet Stone Hijab Pin. This handcrafted pin is £6.99 one of many different styles and colours.

Teal Plain Scarf
This scarf is similar to the grey one is size and material, and the colour is beautiful, and a way to jazz up an otherwise dull outfit. Here we have styled the scarf slightly differently. Instead of wrapping it around the head, it is wrapped around the neck, bringing emphasis to the length of the scarf.

At the moment this colour is out of stock, however there is a range of other stunning colours including reds and oranges. We have worn the scarf with a bracelet, that compliments the colours of the outfit, also from The Resham Collection. It is one of those bracelets that can be worn on its own, or layers with others. The vibrant cluster bracelet is available here at £8.99.

Needless to say, The Resham Collection should be added to your list of stores to visit when you need scarves or accessories. With a stunning and expanding collection, good premium quality and excellent service including the option of gift packaging what is there not to like. 

Make sure you visit their online store here for the whole range, as well as liking their facebook page to be kept up to date with other offers and sales. Delivery starts at £2.99 within the UK and also available worldwide.

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 
2) Comment on this post letting us know you have entered.
3) Tweet us @hijablicious saying 'I've entered!' to increase your winning chance.

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!
