T Shirt Policy & A Bit Of Lace





Hi everyone! So this post is all about the company T Shirt Policy London and their products. I have two of their products, this T-shirt and a red jumper (which you would have seen if you follow me on Instagram). I'm not the type to wear t-shirts within an outfit, but I wear them as PJ's lol, but this looked soooo wicked! It says 'fashion blogger' and obviously I just HAD to ;) The T-shirt is of very good quality and you can wear it anyhow you want, dress up or down. Here I dressed up more so than down, because I just felt like it. But, just as easily, I could wear it a lot more casual, for example with boyfriend/ girlfriend/ mom jeans. Here I went for monochrome and you can't tell in the picture, but I'm wearing a stunning lace skirt from Zara. T- Shirt Policy sells the obvious: t-shirts, but also other easy to wear items with patterns or quirky writing of some sort. They are for everyone, I would say, because I wouldn't have ever considered wearing a t-shirt but this has changed my mind and it's super comfortable! It's more of the laid back sort of style, but if you don't want it to be then you don't have to and it's more simple statement pieces. 






















Here you can see that the skirt isn't long enough to cover my legs, so I wore my underlay and it might look a little stupid but I just loved the skirt so much I had to.


My shoes are roughly 2 years old from the Zara sale.



For more products from T-Shirt Policy they sell their products on Asos Marketplace and you can check out their website www.tshirtpolicy.com !

Mayfield Lavender Farm




Soooo this is the most awaited (well most awaited for me ;) ) post that I have been meaning to put up, Mayfield Lavender Farm! I have been wanting to go here since last year and finally this time I went and it was STUNNING!!! (To say the least). I have always seen pictures of the lavender fields in South of France but if we have it right here then why not you know, but obviously the fields in France are probably a LOT larger, but I'm very satisfied with the ones here :). Unfortunately it wasn't particularly sunny that day and it started to spit as well but it didn't stop me (also because I travelled 1 hour and half, don't know maybe more for this :| ). If I am a blogger and I know I have planned on going to the field, of course I'm going to plan my outfit for it! I'm not hiding anything ;) Anyways forget my rambling and just enjoy the pictures!













I LOOOOOOVE my sleeves on this dress! I know I know for those people who are reading and find it weird that  I wore a top underneath, but I have to cover up you know and I still want to wear these sort of clothes, I mean if I think I genuinely can't get away with it then I won't even purchase the item, but if I can, with it still looking good then I will :) But, for many items you see you'd think girls who wear hijab (hijab is the thing I'm wearing on my head covering my hair :) ) can't wear them, but you can always somehow find a way, unless you just know you can't, but with that stuff you'll know and you'll be sad about it, but it's just life :)







I thought I'd show you behind the scenes ha haaa. My youngest sister always takes my pictures now and she is only 12 guys and we don't have a fancy shmancy camera so I always just use my iPhone 5 but I don't mind at all, they still turn out pretty decent, I mean it's not something that will stop me from blogging (unless the quality of images become terribly bad, but for now everything's good!). So, my eldest sister was with us this day, so I was making them both take pictures at the same time looool ;) Make use of the eldest and youngest is what I say (looool). 








This dress I bought last year from Asos, and I have always said that Asos always does the best flowy maxi skirts and dresses so I would recommend going there, but beware they tend to be very long and I'm considered short (I think I'm just under 5'5).


Thank you for reading guys, make sure to follow me on Instagram to keep track of when the next post is out!

Eid-Ul-Fitr 2015






Hi my dedicated readers! It has been a very long time and this post is obviously VERY late, nevertheless I am still very hard headed on putting this one up no matter how late, because for as long as I am blogging, I will always put up my Eid outfits. Now for my readers that aren't Muslim, no worries I will give you a quick explanation of what Eid is. We have 2 Eid's every year, and Eid is just known as a 'Muslim Festival' (in the most simplest terms), like Christmas is a Christian 'Festival' (it seems sooooo wrong to say Festival to a religious time of the year especially for Muslims, because it's not about partying at all lool), or like Holi for Hindu's, which is, I would say, more of a 'Festival' than Eid or Christmas (taking away the whole dressing up of the city with lights, the money spent on presents, but more so the actual religious aspect of it not the materialistic side of it.) If you don't know what Holi is just look it up on Google. So, the first Eid was this one for this blog post which is the 'celebration' for the end of Ramadan, where we fast for one month, so each day the fast starts at the start of the first prayer and then it ends at sunset, so just so you know, when we fast, it means no water, no gum and not even brushing your teeth just in case you take in the flavour (but I must admit I still brushed my teeth otherwise customers would have died), because I got this question a lot at work ("not even water?!), yes not even water :) (For more details, because there is way more to it than this, then go to Google). The second Eid (which is coming up at the end of September) is as Google says, and I quote: "the festival marking the culmination of the annual pilgrimage to Mecca and commemorating the sacrifice of Abraham." For more information on it go to Google again.

By the way guys, if I have said anything wrong I honestly didn't mean to do so and feel free to correct me. Also, I really do not mean to offend anyone if I have said anything incorrect :) 


So this was my outfit for Eid and what we usually do (i.e. my family) is buy material and then get it made by a tailor. There are all sorts of materials, fabrics, colours, patterns and prices! For me this is all very normal so to explain it, it seems a bit odd, but I know some of you guys probably don't know anything about this. Oh and I must say the tailor made it very well this time so thank you to him (which he won't see but I've told him already). The only thing I wanted different was the lining underneath the sleeves to be full length because the sleeves are meant to be see through, but as a person who wears hijab I can't be showing my whole arm off, but I'm okay with showing 3/4 but since this is MEANT to be full sleeves, it looks funny when you make it half, because it just looks better if you either make it without the lining at all or the lining completely in line with the sleeve, if you know what I mean, but that wasn't the tailors fault, it was just the matter of there not being enough lining, because it's used for the trousers underneath and wherever else it's needed :) But you can take an easier route and buy ready made clothes, but they tend to be quite pricey, for the decent looking ones, but even tacky ones are expensive these days. (wooo explanation over so enjoy!).











Jewellery is bought from indian stores, except for 2 of them which is from New Look and Asos.
