Premade hijabs for lazy hijabis

A while back I wrote about the very practical hijab cap, a premade hijab you can put on with one simple step and be ready for work, parties or even for your own wedding! Wegdan Hamza is THE place to get these premade caps, if not on ebay as in the earlier post I made.. Here are some examples of fancy styles you don’t have to spend hours in front of the mirror to sport:

Some of it looks pretty cool -and will save you a lot of time too.. Too bad they don’t have a webshop :S

Hejab Fashion – November/December issue

Of course I had to buy the newest issue of Hejab Fashion Magazine when I was in Egypt. Sadly I get more and more disappointed for each new issue I go through…

For example, they used to have two pages of new hijab wraps in each issue; now there is nothing like that. Basically they have a couple of written pages, most of the time not about very interesting subjects at all. I think they need a “face lift”. Instead of the “fashion” being just ads for the clothing stores, they should combine items and clothing from different brands, like they do in regular fashion magazines. I think they would have a better shot at getting more fashionable, nice looking outfits that way… They should continue with the wrapping instructions they used to have. And try to get some better writers.

Here are the best outfits from the November/December magazine:

Yup, I know. The belts are not the most modest accessories, those skinny jeans aren’t either, I was actually surprised to find myself dressing more conservative than 75% of the women my age in Cairo (that was not the case a year ago)… Anyway, I believe any of us hijab fashion bloggers would manage to put together outfits much more stylish than these. They should totally hire us :D

What’s do you think about the Hejab Fashion Magazine? Will you buy this issue?

Uniquely styled hijab that actually covers

If you are not a fan of the spanish hijab or spanish wrap that leaves the chest uncovered, you probably end up dissappointed when trying to look for new ways to style your hijab. Many of the found around, especially the party styles, are lacking the neck and chest coverage. Here’s something for you;


I’m totally loving it. What about you?

Random Egyptian hijab wraps

Did you ever run out of ideas on how to tie a “fierce” or unique hijab? Here’s a lot of inspiration for a lot of different styles. Most of these styles are “spanish wraps” but you will also find some slightly more covering styles. All of these are the work of several veil and makeup stylists around Egypt:

So what do you think? Did you see anything you like? Would you try any of these looks?

Egyptian winters

Although these pictures are old, I still love the combination of wintery colors. This is Egyptian autumn/winter to me…


I can’t believe it’s less than two weeks till I’m there insha’a Allah. I can’t wait to run around buying tons of scarves. I can’t wait to eat koshary. I don’t have to wait either, I just have too much to finish before I leave :S

What do you think about this style minus the makeup?
