Hi Everyone,  Im starting to realize that I only post my fashion blogs up when Im traveling or when there is a special event. I need to be more consistent. So I recently went to Vancouver this past week because we were celebrating my husbands birthday. Also I had a meeting with Melanie Mark the woman I named the burgundy zipper top after (I'll explain that more in a little bit). I've travelled quite a bit but I don't know what it is, Vancouver is still one of my favourite places to be in. There is something so magical about that city...when it doesn't rain lol.  We celebrated my ..read more

Hey Everyone,  Our next destination was to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I had so many high expectations for this city, it has been one of my dreams to visit it. Kuala Lumpur was so developed and clean it was almost complete opposite of Ho Chi Minh. We stayed by Bukit Bintang, which is where all the hustle and bustle went down. I was surprised it was as modernized as it was. At points I felt like I was in Dubai because there were so many Arabs lol, they even have a street called Arab Street. The food was amazing, we constantly found ourselves going back to the same Lebanese restaurant (so ..read more

Hi Everyone,  If you were following me on my Instagram you already know I started my adventure in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam formally know as Saigon. I never took my big Canon camera with me because I just hate hauling it around everywhere, even though it does take great pictures. I really have to force myself to take pictures or else I forget lol. We didn't do A LOT of tourists things because we had other reasons to be there so we stuck to more of the local stuff there.  Ho Chi Minh is such a fascinating place, your brain will be OVER STIMULATED there is no doubt. If it wasn't for my husb ..read more

Hi Everyone! Every time I say I am going to get back into fashion blogging, I literally do one post and disappear for three months. So what I am trying to say is IM BACK. But I'm sure Ill go back in hiding. I feel like any store you go to lately has clothing geared towards hijabis. The modest baggy look is coming full force. Over the years my look has been heading towards more of a baggy and loose fitting look. Turtlenecks have come back on the scene in such a positive way. Lastly, fishnet stockings have come in but not quite left yet. Initially I was hesitant but the more I thought about it I ..read more

The Netherlands journey of my honeymoon is coming to an end and we are off to our next destination...can you guess where?  We spent the majority of our trip in Amsterdam, it was full of history, art, museums, people, and marijuana haha. One thing that I loved about Amsterdam is the aesthetics of the city. Picture Pinterest, now times that by 10 and you have Amsterdam. It was amazing. Everything is pretty minimalistic, that includes clothing and lifestyle, which was cool to witness. After about 6 days in Amsterdam, we headed to Rotterdam which is about 45 minutes to an hour away. This is c ..read more

Hey Everyone! It's quite tough to do these fashion blogs while I am on my honeymoon. I actually don't take pictures typically when I vacation but since Ive decided to blog again it's a must. So I will keep it quick, sweet, and short.  Dress overalls: Simons Turtleneck: Zara Shoes: Aldo Purse: Ted Baker    ..read more

Hi Everyone! It's been a minute since I've done a fashion blog, and Im not going to lie I kinda missed it. I've decided to only post fashion blogs if I am wearing something related to Afflatus Hijab, which will usually translate into one of our beautiful hijabs.  On Saturday July 22, I married my best friend. My whole life I couldn't care less for a wedding but when the day finally came it was magical. We decided to go to Amsterdam and Dublin for our honeymoon. Our first day we went and had breakfast at a cute little restaurant, we went on the canal tour, hung out at the Museum Quarter, w ..read more

August 21, 2016 New York oh New York, how much I love you. This is the fourth time I've gone to New York and I can honestly tell you Im never disappointed. Something about the hustle and bustle of the city makes me feel alive. New York to me is one of the friendliest places but I felt this visit was a bit different. There was a weird vibe in the air and I couldn't put my finger on it, and then it finally hit me, the political climate in the U.S. is so warped and disturbing that people are actually buying into this madness. Other than that, New York is great but I just cant feel my legs from a ..read more

August 20, 2016 I wish I had pictures of my airport outfit, that's right I said airport outfit lol but I didn't have a chance to take pictures of it. My main reason for going to Toronto was for IMFDF it's an international fashion show geared towards the Muslimah community. I am not going to lie I was really nervous and stressed out because it was a brand new experience for me in another city.  We arrived in Toronto at 4:30 pm and my first fitting for the models were at 6:00 pm. By the time we got to the hotel it was 5:30 pm, I still had to change and freshen up. My sister, cousins and I j ..read more

June 21, 2016 Hello Everyone! I hope you are all having a wonderful Ramadan thus far. Living in Edmonton, Alberta we fast for about 19 hours a day. Having said that it has been quite hard to do any Afflatus work, so bare with us as we try to get into the groove of things.  My last blog post I featured my leather jacket and with this blog post I'm going to do the same thing. As stated before in a previous blog, tights and long shirts or midi dresses are my new fav thing for the summer. The one I am wearing in particular is a chiffon based material and super breezy for the hot days we face ..read more
