Hijab Style: Product Review: Hijab Fashion Shop
Hijab Fashion Shop is a UK-based online store launched in March 2010. at the moment they have a large selection of summer hijabs, both plain and printed, as well as the usual hijab accessories; bonnets, pins, sleeves, etc. I was recent sent the Summer silky hijab in Ivory to review!
First Impressions
The package arrived in a bubblegum-pink envelope, and came with a cute little note and free gift of two hijab pins:
The fabric of this hijab is lovely - very soft, lightweight and with a hint of shine. I was expecting a thicker, pashmina-type fabric, but was pleasantly surprised. The colour though is actually a little lighter than the website photo, as you can see in my picture below:
Wearability
I like the size of the hijab (190cm x 65cm), it's not too wide and long enough to wrap around about 2.5 times. The fabric is a little see-through so I'd recommend wearing a bonnet cap underneath. Apart from that though, the hijab is very soft and easy to shape without being bulky. It's versatile enough to dress up a simple outfit or to complement evening wear. However the fabric is quite delicate and tends to snag easily, so it's best worn without too many pins.
Overall
The website has a nice selection of scarves and the customer service is excellent. This hijab comes in a lovely soft fabric and is ideal if you prefer to wrap your scarves without pins.
Disclaimer: I received this hijab in exchange for my honest review. The opinions and thoughts expressed are my own and I received no other compensation for my review.
Summer Fashion 2006

Summer fashion 2006 will be exciting, and a bit different from previous seasons. if you are in doubt as to what is in fashion, take a look at your celebrities and you’ll see what is trendy and what is not! Summer Fashion 2006 will be cutting edge, trendy, and we’ll even see the return of some characteristics of fashions from generations past. All of these elements are sure to make summer fashion 2006 beautiful, exciting, as well as offering something for everyone.
First, it’s important to note that Brazilian is still in! Brazilian low rise jeans and low rise jean shorts will continue to be popular on the beaches and even on your favorite celebrities. These jeans show off great stomachs, great rear ends, and long legs! if you have been wearing the low rise jeans for awhile now and you want something new to wear, try the super low rise jeans that are also very popular right now! These jeans and jean shorts come in just about every wash and can be dressed up or dressed down so that they are appropriate for a trip to the beach or a night out on the town with the girls. Paired with a t-shirt or a lacey top, low rise jeans are a big fashion do this season!
Summer fashion 2006 will introduce three main silhouettes, which are the Hourglass; the classic 60’s a line, and the volume look. Accentuating the waist is in again, which will be seen in fashions that are meant to accentuate the hourglass figure of a woman. for so long we’ve been dipping below the waist or above the waist, but now we are also right at the waist and it’s a good thing because it makes the legs look longer and leaner. Volume is in right now, and dresses and skirts will likely be worn with more and more volume throughout the year. it is likely that this volume that we will see this season will continue into the next few seasons. Celebrities such as Reese Witherspoon have made these looks quite popular on the red carpet by wearing dresses that accentuate the waist but also have a very full look toward the bottom. Look out for more volume in the months to come!
Wide legged pants will also be in for the summer of 2006. Wide legged pants have been in and out for quite awhile, but we’ll see them again this summer. These pants can be made with a variety of materials, which makes them ideal for wearing them to the office as well as wearing them to the beach, depending on what they are made of. These wide legged pants can be accentuated with sequined belts, high heeled shoes, and a variety of other accessories that will either dress them up or dress them down. for hot days at the beach wide legged pants made from cotton will be perfect, but a polyester blend is also perfect for the office!
Long shorts or short pants are very in this season. We’ve seen fashions similar to this in the past, but they are definitely in this season for both work and play. this fashion trend may be short lived but right now they are a lot of fun. Many of them are form fitting and others are so wide and baggy that they almost look like skirts. made in a variety of fabrics, this is another very versatile style that will be fun for everyone to wear and will flatter most figures.
Swimsuits will come in a variety of fashions in 2006, with the bikini still being a favorite. Bikinis are coming in a variety of fashions again this year with longer tops, short bottoms, and a variety of styles in between. The one piece is still around, but the bikini remains a favorite of the young and the old! With so many different patterns and styles emerging, just about every woman can find a great bikini to sport at the beach!
Jackets for those cool nights out will likely be short and fitted. there may also be a return of those cropped vests that we saw for awhile in the mid 90s that will be paired with everything from shorts to khaki dress pants. Duster style jackets will also be quite popular, especially as we move toward fall. by the end of summer it is likely that we will see a lot of short and fitted or duster style jackets.
Generally, summer fashion 2006 looks to be quite diverse and exciting. everyone will find something that they will love, and perhaps something that they have worn in the past! we may be able to pull some stuff out of the back of our closets this year, which will be fun!

Shoe Icons at Fashion Week Messrs. L and B
So to sum up: the Divine Mr. L and the Divine Mr. B contributed mightily to Fashion Week. Hurray for shoes!
Is cute, no? and who recognizes this model?Christian Louboutin babel shoe boots BrownI know that any of you watch some of the same embarassing television that I watch so I am betting the answer come right quick.
And are you noting the cool contrasting toe tights? I love it. Manolo did an awesome job. and did I mention how clever Band of Outsiders’ presentation was? rather than having models stand on pedestals that created and indoor-outdoor setting with old-fashioned lampposts for the models to lean against, park benches for them to sit on, telephone booths for them to feign calls in, and rope ladders for them to climb….toward the ceiling (perhaps it’s an allegory for reaching great fashion height? going to great lengths? reaching for the stars?)
The Barbie show was fun and whimsical and the invitation specifically requested invitees to bring their daughter, niece, cousin, 4-year-old BFF, etc so the tent was full of glee.
Manolo Blahnik’s contribution to fashion week was much edgier.Christian Louboutin Fifre 120 suede boots He collaborated with Band of Outsiders to create custom open-toed lace-up boots for their fall presentation. (Sounds like it wouldn’t work but it totally did). they could have starred in their own mini movie about a down-on-her luck fashion editor that has to take up boxing to support herself and the rhesus monkey that she adopted in hopes of making it her best friend or, in hard times, a coat. Instead, she takes up boxing (coached by the indomitable Clint Eastwood, of course) but can’t bring herself to put on the ugly boxing boots that come with the job so Band of Outsiders and Manolo come to her rescue. At he end of the saga, the viewer is left with many difficult questions like: does the monkey get his own pair of mini boxing stilettos? does the fashionista give up her new found career when Clint catches the Ebola virus from a very naughty monkey bite? How far is she willing to go to reach her dream of becoming the well-heeled boxing champion of the world? would she, perish the thoughtherve leger bandage, trade in Clint for Sylvester Stallone?
Anyway here are the shoes in question (photos courtesy of fashionista.com thanks to the poorly timed death of my camera battery):
These shoes were worn with some classic Barbie looks designed by various well-know folk. For example, DVF designed what looked like a day-to-night Barbie wrap dress and Bib Mackie did a very Cher-esque showgirl outfit set off by feathered eye makeup
Though this fashion week’s shoes have been quite a bit less fanciful than those of yesteryear (or even just last season), some shoe icons are still participating in the scaled-down version of Fashion Week footwear.
Christian Louboutin remains the patron saint of high footwear. the man’s work is EVERYWHERE. At the fun and fanciful Barbie fashion show, the Divine Mr. L created human-size replicas of the iconic hot pink plastic stiletto heel that nearly every little girl slipped onto Barbie’s painfully pointed foot.
Here is a photo of the red-soled Barbie shoe with the dress that Carmen Mark Valvo designed for the collection. Update: These exclusive Louboutin for Barbie shoes are available now at LuisAviaAroma for $956.
