The boutique also seeks to provide versatility in their products by selling scarves which can be worn both as a hijab or fashion accessory.

Fleur Green

This scarf is a beautiful eye catching sea green colour with a mid cut ivory lace detail. 

I've worn lace scarves before but never with something with mid lace which makes this scarf quite unique. The length of the scarf is quite generous and the lace detail is on both edges so it can be worn in a variety of ways. I can imagine this scarf looking quite eye catching with an all black outfit too.

Marigold Brown

I love the deep rich colour of this scarf and it is definitely a special occasion scarf. I felt it was important to pair this with a dark outfit because the colour of this scarf is really bold and eye catching. I would wear this for a meeting or for an evening event and I don't think you need to wear anything else too bright because the scarf speaks for itself.

Accessories I kept in theme with the scarf, I think colour blocking makes the scarf stand out more. I would also most likely wear this as a neck scarf with a black headscarf with  a suit.

Laser Cut Scarf -Pink

This is quite a playful scarf, it has beautiful edging detail on the scarf and the colour is really nice for spring and summer. Block colours, especially pastels are making a comeback in 2013 and this is right on par. I would most likely wear it as a neck scarf because it is quite generous in its length and width and can also be used as a shawl scarf.

Another idea I found for wearing this scarf which I would do is to pair it with a Asian Shalwar Kameez. I think the cut out edge detail would look quite sleek with such an outfit.

Bella scarves are hand finished and you can see this with the attention to detail on each scarf, especially lace detail. I like the versatility of them as they can we worn in a number of ways. as they are made of silk material I would advise wearing an under scarf and pin to keep them in place if worn as a headscarf.

They have free postage for a limited time only! You can find them on http://www.bellascarves.co.uk/ and via Facebook here 

Winter Elegance with Khimar Online + discount & prize draw!

Khimar Online seek to provide its customers with edgy and personalised garments. It mostly consists of a large selection of hand picked scarves and accessories as well as a unique selection of abaya's which have been carefully designed and made with a creative twist. Their creative influence is in their fashion statement listed below this feature.

Berry Heart 

When I opened the parcel, The first thing I noticed was the quality of the material of the abayah. It is quite heavy, but not too heavy, enough to give it a dress like feel, made from a jersey like material. I also noticed the attention to detail on the garment and also it has been cut in such a way that the garment has a very feminine edge making it something you could also dress up even if you do not wear a abayah. 

I'm definitely going to be wearing it as a winter maxi dress option. All you need to do is wear a cropped jacket or leather jacket to give the dress a different look and as its quite roomy, I added a belt to give it a dressy look. I would wear this kind of look for a dinner or evening out. The colour is really eye catching and because its versatile you can accessorise it a number of ways. 

The scarf is one of their large silk scarves, its got ample material therefore you don't have to worry about it being too small, the only issue I had was because it it silky I found it moved a couple of times, however if you wear a plain under scarf and pin it, it does the trick.

The detailing on the cuff of the sleeve and on the edge of the neck is very delicate and eye catching, the corsage is a really cute touch and it gives the abaya a edgy twist and what's even nice about it is that it co-ordinaries with the matching hijab should you choose to wear it.

KHIMAR FASHION STATEMENT

Each woman’s style is a unique personal expression; we honour those differences and created Khimar. As a Muslim woman working as an accountant in an office environment, I wanted to wear modest but modern abayas. These were rare to find at affordable prices, with tailored styles & cuts. Most online boutiques did not give much choice and I couldn’t find an online boutique with variety of items.  At Khimar we wanted to create this online one stop boutique catering for Muslimahs needs including variety of scarves, accessories, Halal skincare, hair care and cosmetics. 

We take inspiration from cat walks, fashion magazines such as Vogue and latest high street trends. We try to implement these trends into our designs bearing in mind modesty & Hayaa. We understand the criteria of Islamic dress for a Muslimah & this is our main objective. The rest of our ideas, designs, & inspiration stem from this thought.
