I am covering...

I am covering for you, dear brother, trying to journey closer to Your Lord but finding it distracting to see Him thru my perfect silhouette and seductive walk.
I am covering for you, my husband, who might not show it, but feels a tinge of jealousy and insecurity when I'm complimented and glared at by your closest friends and family.
I am covering for u,dear sister, who is shy to leave the house since you can't afford the lavish western materialistic dressing of your peers.
I am covering for you, dear sister, as an example of modesty, that I can still be stylishly covered, and when I am in my castle I can play dress up just like I did when I was a little girl.
I am covering for you, my precious daughter, to give you confidence that you are precious and you don't need to flaunt it to show it.
I am covering for myself, cos every day when I walk out that door, I should be learning a lesson in humility and modesty, and insha اَللَّه as I keep on, those qualities will find its way in my heart and vanquish my inner pride.
And most importantly, I am covering for You, My Sustainer, my Creator, my Protector, for unlike some sisters who look for hapiness, contentment and satisfaction in the pleasing gazes and compliments of others, I look for it in You, for who better to look to than the Creator and Owner of these qualitites Himself!
Please accept it from me, make me sincere, and all those sisters desiring to follow Your beautiful way give them strength and willpower to act on their intentions

Moroccan Evening Part 1

Me; Dress: Msquared Scarves: The Silk Route Belt: Forever New Bangles & Earrings: Women Street Shoes: Zoom

Alhamdulillah, the Moroccan Evening was a great success- for both MSquared and Mardrassah Fatima Tuz Zahra. It was so exciting to see everyone dressed in their best Moroccan garb- or the best version of Morroccan they knew! You know an event was a hit when everyone involved had a good time: and that is definitely true for friday night.
Planning this event- and especially designing the outfits for it- was so fun. And I hope to make this an annual event, insha-Allah...So for everyone who didn't get a chance to come this year, you have next year to make up for it!
Of course, the evening couldn't have been the success it was without some very important people, and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank them:
To my mom, for supporting me and putting my designs together;
To my friends, Fatima and Aaisha, for doing the model's make-up;
Ayeshah Sardien, for directing the routine;
To all the models who volunteered- they really made the show!
And to Aishah Cassiem, for the amazing photographs which I will be posting soon, insha-Allah.
May Allah reward each of you for efforts, Ameen.
To everyone that didn't make it to the event on friday, I'll be hosting an Open House Show this weekend, where both fridays designs and my winter range will be showcased- I hope to see you there, insha-Allah.
This is your chance to see my work, and if you'd like to, place your orders for eid.
You'll also have the chance to view the beautiful hijab sold by The Silk Route and some amazing jewelry by Heyjewels.
I hope to see you all there, insha-Allah.

Capture The Moment


 This week I decided to break away from the usual fashion stuff. I decided to focus this post on all the little moments that we will always remember, or we capture the moment by taking a photo so that we can remember the moment forever.
I love taking photos, especially of my nieces and nephews. Whom I think are the most adorable little people. I don’t only take pictures of them (mostly of them) I take pictures of random things that fascinate me. So here are some of those moments that I have captured. Hope you enjoy.
P.S all of these pictures are taking with my iPhone, so some the pictures taking at night’s quality isn’t that good.
Waiting to hear what you think…
