♡Kawaii Hijabi Post#15: What I Got from Umm Al-Hamam Street :3 ♡

♡ Salam Sisters! ♡

I'm back after being AFK for sometime.

I apologize.  >  _  < '

I went shopping at Panorama Mall & Umm Al Hamam Street.

This Post will be of the items I brought at Umm Al Hamam Street.

The shops here are similar to the ones at Deerah (Suwaiqa Market) and Taiba Market.

So,here's the few things i got :).

♡1. Polka dott House Slippers

Rating:3/5

These slippers are cheap and cute.But they don't have the same effect I was hoping for when worn.They are cozy and wear rather well.I've been saving them for house guests.

♡2. Pale Tahini Skinny Pants

Rating:4/5

These pants were (almost) just what I was looking for!The color and fit is great...just the top is a bit loose. Im pretty sure who ever had worn them before me had stretched them a bit.They also had rather loose seams and a small hole in them.

One thing I like about the shops in the area is that they let you return things if they don't fit well. Sadly,whom ever returned these wasn't very honest about the pants condition when they did.

Since I like them so much...I've decided to keep them and just repair them myself.

Here's a black version of these pants.

The materials are slightly different..but the black pair is better than the tahini pair.It has much better quality and looks a lot nicer.

Its 100% 5/5!

♡3. Cute Baggy Dolman Sleeved Top

Rating:3/5

I really like this item...!

I love anything slightly oversized or with Dolman sleeves!

But this top was a bit small for me.

It should have a nice 3/4 effect when worn..but the sleeves only go past my elbows.

So im attempting to stretch it a bit.

Its cute to wear with a matching maxi dress and scarf.

:3

♡4.Gold & Pink Maxi Skirts

Rating:4/5

This maxi skirt is so pretty and has great flow to it.

Its a nice skirt that could go with both dressy and dress casual outfits.

But its slightly too see-through.

This is a problem I've had with a lot of maxi skirts I've bought in the markets in Riaydh.

They look great and are nice to wear around Mahram,but would need to be layered with another skirt to be worn outside.This skirt comes with a slip underneath..but its still too see-through.

This is a pink skirt I brought from the same store.

♡5.Cute Striped Sweater

Rating:5/5

This is one of may favorite things I brought!

Its so cozy and is really cute.It goes well with skinny jeans and maxi skirts.

So I can wear it with Hijab outfits and around Mahram.

It also has bows on the back....I can't decided weather they look 100% cute or slightly tacky.

:/

♡6. A-line Checkerboard Dress

Rating:5/5

This dress is cute and has a simple A-line silhouette to it.

It has a nice glossy gold belt around the waist and is very cute and dress casual.

♡7. Leggings :3

Rating:5/5

These leggings are awesome!They came in so many colors and all have long inseams.

They are cozy and lightweight enough to be worn anytime of year.

I love them so much I brought 3!

♡8. Dolman Sleeved T-Shirt

 Rating:5/5

I mentioned how I love dolman sleeved tops earlier , so Im sure you can understand why I brought this.

The V symbol also reminded me of "V"( Taehyung) from BTS.

^ u ^

♡9. Kawaii Wannabe Pajamas

Rating:4/5

This pajama top looks nice on a hanger.

But looks slightly awkwardly when worn.

Its top part either looks too high or too low.

And the heart the bow is sitting on is kinda badly sewn.

But it looks good enough.

♡10. Awesome Bow Bag!

Rating:5/5

This bag is everything!

Cute, decent in regards to the quality and price(30SAR) and comes with 6 pockets!

One under the bow flap,one on the back and two inside.

The strap is fully adjustable and it sits nicely on the shoulder.

♡11.Cute Striped Fuzzy Socks

Rating:5/5

Great for the colder months and nice to look at.

I love these sock and have worn them often.

They aren't to thick and are really cozy.

♡12. Cute Misc

Rating:4/5

This ice-tray is ultra kawaii and I've been dying to use it to make

cute shaped ice-cubes for when my friends visit!

I brought a small pack of Pink balloons,heart shaped pink balloons and two pastel pink ribbons.

Rating:4/5

The balloons are heart shaped enough...but the material they were made of is  sort of weak.

The first balloon i blew up popped and i ended up getting hit by some of the material in the face.

It left a bruise that lasted for a few days.

:/

But now when I blow them up i leave them slightly small so they don't pop.

*SIGH*

This post was very simple and long overdue!

I apologize for taking so long to make it.

It seems like things couldn't help but pop up as of late.

Im going to get a bit of shut eye.

I hope some of you find this post interesting and helpful.

♡Kawaii Hijabi Post#11: How to be a Hijabi Ulzzang! * u * ♡

♡Salam Sisters!♡

I pray you've all been well!

Today,i'd like to make a little post about Ulzzang fashion,and hopefully,give some tips to  You sisters who are interested in it and would like to merge elements of the look into your day to day style.  ^  u  ^

^  u  ^

1.♡ Whats Ulzzang Fashion? ♡

Im sure most of you have already become well versed with the term Ulzzang and the fashion style,make,hair and general Look that go with it,but for those of you who aren't,ill try to summarise a bit of backstory for you ^^.

(*Skip if you already know :3  ^^.)

Ulzzang,is a term in korean(made from a combination of two korean words),meaning "Best-Face".

People who became known as Ulzzangs,first started out as people who would post their photos on online sites and gained popularity because of their appearance.

Popular Ulzzang could go on to become singers,actors,models and etc,after having achieved their popularity.

But,with time,the term Ulzzang has generally died out in korea,or rather,the phenomena is not as popular now.

Still,there are many people who follow Ulzzang/kfashion looks and trends in korea and internationally as a whole.

With that out of the way,lets get started. ^ u ^

2.♡ The Look (Part 1) ♡

Ulzzang wear a variety of fashion styles and looks,based upon their preference and whats fashion at the time.

Ulzzang fashion tends to have a very "Asian-Fashion"/"fast-fashion" feel too it,so allot of Looks that you may like,can easily be compiled by shopping online and in the mall.

Stores that sell Chinese made clothes and japanese clothes & accessories also carry items which can be used to create Kfashion outfits,But Ideally,you would want to shop online(or at the mall,if your in korea  ^ 3 ^)

at stores like Yesstyle and DGG sites(korean online clothing stores which have a special section available for international shoppers).

3.♡ Get Your "Best-Face"!♡

Take a look at these next few photos..

well..?

Notice anything similar about the girls in these photos?

They all have slim faces,clear skin,well defined eyes and a small nose and mouth.

This particular type of beauty is preferred in other Asian fashion trends and classic ideals of beauty as well.

But regardless of how you look,the main focus of Ulzzang for you should be to put your "best face" forward!

Here are a few tips to help(InshAllah):

1.Remeber to take good care of your skin!

Keep it moisturised,avoid pimples and minimise them when you can.

Be gentle with it and take good care of it when your not wearing makeup and about to go to bed.

Getting enough rest and healthy blood flow is crucial to good skin.

So...

2.Practice doing face massages..!

Yes,they do exist,and there are even ways to help slim down your face and reduce water retention,as well.

Try searching them up on Youtube or googling them.They help your skin get better circulation as well,so don't miss out if you can help it.Just make sure you used clean hands on a clean face.

(Ive tried them before,and they have helped me slim down my jawline and get rid of any puffiness in my face.  ^ u  ^)

and Lastly..

3.Try to avoid using the wrong skincare products for your skin type.And use products with less harsh chemicals in them as often as possible.Don't over-wash and don't forget to tone & moisturise!

4.♡Style It By Face-Shape!♡

Ive mentioned this before in a previous post,but its important all the same.

And can make a world of 

difference!

Learn to style you hijab by your face-shape..!

It can help get rid of any exsisting akwradness to your appearance that you sometimes get when you style your hijab.

An australian Muslimah fashion blogger made a wonderful post about it here:http://www.misshijabi.com/2011/11/hijab-styles-for-your-face-shape.html

5.♡ (Mahram)Hairstyles & Makeup ♡

Ulzzangs hairstyles and Makeup Looks vary,but their Makeup has certain focuses ...

In Makeup,Ulzzangs,Ideally,should go for a natural,light beauty type of look.

With focus on enhancing the eyes and minimising the nose and lips,adding light definition to the face and slimming it with light contouring. 

To better suit your style of makeup to your face,read up online and search for tutorials!

Once you know what your working with and how to work with it,the rest is easy,just a matter of finding Ulzzang hairstyles and makeup looks you like that suit your face shape. ^  -  ^

*(All though Photoshop and photo-editing is notorious in Ulzzang fashion,its not necessary ,and ideally,since Ulzzang should have a natural look,its best to avoid any heavy photoshopping)

6.♡  Selfie Away! ♡

When you feel happy with you achieved look,feel free to document it as much you like!

(but don't get too carried away!)

Ulzzang fashion wouldn't be Ulzzang fashion without a bit of Selca taking(would it?)!

If you decided to post any photos online,id advise you to post them as private,and only

 visible to Other sisters whom you trust

to respect your preferences and privacy ^ - ^.

Or you can take photos with an instax camera and store it in a journal!

It would be very cute!

I hope you have fun!

^   -   ^

I hope that these tips have been helpful for 

those of you who like Ulzzang fashion! ^ - ^

(InshAllah,Ill have more posts up more often!)

♡ Kawaii Hijabi Post#10: RED Hijabi Coords !♡

♡Salam!♡

I had the time today...so I made this small set of coordinates.

Red & Black were my favorite colors in the past(before i discovered Fuchsia),So i found this set really enjoyable to make.

I was worried it would look too "Christmas-ey"(With the whole winter,white and red of it all).

I hope its neutral enough ^  u  ^.
