Muslim fashion clothing: spring

Kimono: Joyce Leslie // Jeans: Zara // Blouse & Shoes: Forever 21 // Bag: H&M

Yesssss! Spring is finally around the corner...at least I hope so! I among many others just want this cold weather to go away. This week will be a tease with some good weather but with some snow too. Anyways, spring is my second favorite season after fall. Florals, pastels, and flow skirts are just a few of the themes. Kimonos have been around for a while but I couldn't really get myself to like certain prints or really wear them. Recently, chiffon flowy ones have come out and I am in love! I have to say I'm pretty picky on floral prints and I finally found one I liked and that I could afford. I found this sweet chiffon floral kimono from joyce leslie (I know shocker). Some of you are thinking, what in the world is that? It's definitely a cheap store...but you can find some gems in there if you look! I loved some at urban but were way out my price range for just a short trend. I'm so happy I waited until I found this. I also love florals in the spring and summer but realized I can't wear floral pants, they just don't suit me. So I love that I can wear floral print as a kimono and even as a dress. I paired it with some casual blue jeans from Zara which I REALLY recommend. The comfiest jeans, well jeggings ever! I've just given up on buying jeans cause either they don't fit or they're not comfy or too long. I'm definitely getting some more of these from there. Here are some more details of my Kimono.

This is definitely long overdue! About a month ago I took an amazing trip to San Diego, California. My family was going on a family vacation and coincidentally went around the same time as the Fashion Fighting Famine Show! Here some of the places I went and all the outfits I wore:

San Diego
This was my favorite city! The views, the weather, the people--absolutely everything was beautiful! There was a certain warm breeze in the air that I've never felt anywhere else. I'm wearing the same outfit in few of the pictures because we just took one day and went to all the scenic views in San Diego all in one day.
Mt. Soledad:

La Jolla Cove:

Balboa Park:

Sunset Cliffs

We ended the day with a beautiful sunset at sunset cliffs! It was a little cloudy but we caught a quick glimpse of it before it set.

Treasure Island, Laguna Beach:
Right before we went to the airport on our last day, we visited this beautiful beach. This was the most breathtaking beach I have ever been too. It was so clean, the people were so friendly and it was not crowded at all. We even saw a wedding take place on the rocks along with a photo shoot for a girl's Quincenera.

Los Angeles:
We visited LA for a day. It was fun visiting and can definitely take it off my bucket list but don't really plan on going there again. It was pretty crowded, hot and a lot of traffic. Nonetheless, we had a good time. We first went to Universal Studios and also went to go see the Hollywood Sign.

Fashion Fighting Famine:

Last, but not least. I was so excited to have attended and been a part of Fashion Fighting Famine Show! It was so nice being surrounded by like minded Muslim Women who want to maintain a balance between fashion and faith. I bought a beautiful floral dress from Inayah Boutique which I will be featuring very soon! They had an amazing bazaar with the items from the fashion show and from some other designers as well. All the pieces were modest yet fashionable as well. My favorite was a black jumpsuit by Abayah Addict that had spiked shoulders (It is not on their website but available to email by order!) Check out all the other designer on the Fashion Fighting Famine website and the runway pictures as well! It was lovely meeting Yuna and other fashion/makeup bloggers such as Winnie Detwa, YaztheSpaz, Nura, Hani Hulu and many more!
