Rayyan's Sixteenth Outfit
2008-03-17 12:23:00 OMG Rayyan without a hijab! An interesting thing about Zarqa Nawaz being stuck with having to choose primarily non-Muslim characters to play Mercy's Muslims, as there were no appropriate Muslim actors available, is that they have no objection to being filmed without hijab as Muslima muhajabat would have. For example, Rayyan's mother Sarah never wears hijab outside the masjid (and then only a sheer scarf), Rayyan is shown mostly with hijab but without at home and Fatima is shown always wearing hijab except when they she first goes to a 'Women's Aqua Fit Class'.The look that Rayyan is sporting here is hijab ready, like she has come home from work and taken off her scarf:Al-Farah's Cotton Spandex Blouse in Forest Green for USD $24.99Shukr's Braided Belt Denim Skirt for £28.95 or from Shukr USA for USD $48.95Rayyan is a shayla girl but seeing I have free range at selecting a scarf option, I would pair this outfit with a dramatic tesettur scarf like this:Hijab Planet's Peri Silk ...

Rayyan's Thirteenth Outfit - Hijab
2008-03-04 10:04:00 I adore this hijab, it is incredibly stylish and soft. The shayla is pink and is covered in floral patterns and hearts, and is worn over an olive green underscarf. I can't find any similar so I've found some really nice paisley pashmina options:Scarf World's Jacquard Pashmina (Petal Pink Paisley) for £11.99Scarf World's Beaded Pashmina Shawl (Rose Floral Paisley) for £34.99Yes it's expensive but it is true pashmina and is very pretty.Scarf World, has a wonderful section that is rare in general accessory sites in that it has a specific range of Hijab Scarves! They have a huge selection and I applaud them for responding to the needs of the Muslim community and encourage you all to have a look at their great website and huge range of scarves.I have included this scarf, also as although it is quite different from Rayyan's scarf, it will match Rayyan's Thirteenth outfit well and has the soft floaty quality of the scarf she is wearing above:Al Hannah Kuwaiti Style Wrap Hijab hi127...

Rayyan's Twelth Outfit - Top
2008-03-01 11:22:00 This is picture from an older version of the Little Mosque website shows the same top worn in this episode but gives you a much better idea of its wonderful emrodiery. I love this top, but as with many of Rayyan's clothes part of their gorgeousness is their uniqueness so I don't think I'll be able to find something similar. I've tried to choose things that would go with the hijab I've chosen. You can't see Rayyan's skirt here so I'd just suggest you wear one of your black skirts.Forgive me, I love Kurta but please remember with kurta, most of them are not muhajabat friendly on their own as they can be sheer or have 3/4 sleeves, remember to wear a Trendy Long Sleeved V-Neck 100% Cotton Shirt US $18.99 underneath.Garment Mart's Exclusive Designer World Kurti for $56.20Garment Mart's Black Lucknowi Kurti for USD $34.60Indian Dresses' Black Georgette Kurti - Kr-119 for USD$39Garment Mart's Pink Stone Tunik for USD$49.90Are you brave enough for pink hijab on pink tunic, if...

Apologies
2007-12-07 13:41:00 Salaam alaikum, peace be upon my lovely readers. I have just moved to a new city straight after end of year assignments and exams, and started by first full time job. It is very busy and I haven't had much time for blogging. Inshallah I'll get onto some more Rayyan centered postings. Today however I'm going to show you a work outfit I built using polyvore an outfit creator. I've tried to do it on Rayyan based outfits but I find that its very difficult to get items that are both the closest to Rayyan's and are in a useful format for polyvore (they need to be just the item straight on with a white background to look good).Click on the pictures below to get shopping details for the items. I've put hijab links at the bottom as they are what makes our fashion special and also as Star Scarves links that polyvore picks up just link to the picture with no way to access the Star Scarves online shop. As with everything in a hijab outfit, make sure to choose loose clothing itemsI hope yo... More About: Polo , Logi
Rayyan's Ninth Outfit - Top
2007-10-26 08:42:00 This is a very unflattering photo of Rayyan but gives you the best idea of this top. Most of the clothing that Rayyan wears are a bit different from what is available for sale online with hijabs. I suspect that Rayyan's wardrobe is supplied by scouring North American stores for what is modest enough for her to wear. Unfortunately I don't live in North America so I really wouldn't know the first place to start recommending shops that sell some modest items. So it's back to trying to find something similar on the net.The closest top I could find was thisSunny Leigh Woman Sleeveless Wrap Top for US$14.99 team it with a shrug or jacket for modesty and make sure your scarf covers the v-neck.For the buckled wrap look I found a 3/4 sleeve top in white and red, wear them over a button-up for a formal look or a long sleeve tee for more casual. I liked both colors so here they are:J.R. Nites Women's Taffeta Wrap Top for US$69.99Remember if you find it an item in white you can dye it any ... More About: Outfit
