Caffé Concerto

Posted on 23 November 2010 by Zinah Nur Sharif

I've dropped a visit to Caffe Concerto before, in their Westfield/London branch, and had this delicious white chocolate cake! As mentioned on my Hijab Fashion Week post here.

Since I loved the cake, I couldn't help but visit Caffe Concerto again, this time in their Kensington High Street branch! Their cakes are just ssssooo delicious, and the best thing is its vegetarian friendly, and mostly Islamic friendly too! Alcohol free cakes and veggie gelatines , but do NOT order Tiramisu, as it contains alcohol!

Not only are the cakes aesthetically, but also the caffe itself! The decorations and interior design are beautiful. I took some snapshots, enjoy!

Daily Dilemmas

Posted on 21 November 2010 by Zinah Nur Sharif

Day 7: Hijab Fashion Week Running Errands

This is the final look...rather ordinary and relaxed. Wondering why? It's because I don't bother dressing fancy when I'm out and about and just dealing with my daily stuff such as going shopping, going to the post office and other 'usual' stuff I need to do.

I mean, who stands in front of the mirror fussing about an outfit for hours, just to send a letter to the post office or do the grocery shopping? I clearly don't.

I hope you enjoyed the Hijab Fashion Week, as much as I did. I was amazed by all the effort and outfits posted by each participant/blogger. It was all so much fun and interesting. I hope that this event will come next year inshallah and that more bloggers can join the Hijab Fashion Week.

Opinions, feedbacks and suggestions are very welcomed!

5 Days Down

Posted on 19 November 2010 by Zinah Nur Sharif

Day 5: Hijab Fashion Week Weekend Wear...

Once your stressful 5 days of work/school is done, the last thing you wanna do is fuss about your outfit and try to avoid one of your daily dilemmas of "what to wear?!" during the weekend.

I normally wear my comfortable slippers and have a light breakfast, then change into something casual!

You are meant to be relaxing and just be out and about with friends or family...This is a suggestion to your dilemma not a solution. Enjoy!

The hijab is from my puny hijab collection ZNS, this one is made out of 100% silk for the bottom material, and the upper material is a mixture of wool and nylon. I hope you like it!

Well, the weather and season right now does not compliment this look at all...I always have 'summer' in my mind when I think of holiday, I honestly did not have any time to do this outfit and did this instead...I picked fashion items I would personally wear during a sunny holiday.

Don't worry, all my other remaining outfits are gonna be photographs!

2. Knitted Angora Mix Shrug- Topshop

3. Scarf Ray- Mango

Señoras Night Out

Day 3: Hijab Fashion Week Girl's Night Out...

Going out is all about dressing up and having fun. A little bit of sparkle here and there won't hurt, but too much can be blinding (no, not literally...)

Ps. If you live in London try the cakes from Caffe Concerto...delicious!

Eid Mubarak

Posted on 16 November 2010 by Zinah Nur Sharif

Day 2: Hijab Fashion Week Eid Celebration

This is obviously not me celebrating Eid at the time of this writing...and this is my Eid clothes...to be exact, I will be wearing a different dress than this one, but I shell post that sometime soon inshallah.

I normally wear a maxi dress when I go to the mosque for Eid prayers, and when I go out in the evenings with the family, I change...But since this post has to be done DURING Eid, and there is no way I can manage posting on the blog, I put this outfit together for the Hijab Fashion Week.

Scarf is by ZNS puny collection, grey jersey with big velvet bow. Hope you like it!

I wish you all a very blessed Eid, with full of happiness, love & joy! Eid Mubarak my lovelies.
