hey hijabi!

salaam readers. we had a yard sale today. it took hours of preparation and then we were out today selling our things for at least seven hours! as you can imagine, our feet hurt, our eyes burn and we are tired BEYOND belief. inshAllah i will rest up and post more this upcoming week.

salaam readers. we were supposed to have a yard sale today. we got ready to sell everything, spent HOURS packing, sorting and pricing our stuff and then what happened? it began to rain this morning. oh well, inshAllah we will be having it tomorrow.

since today was so gloomy and gray, i wanted to show you some of my favorites from Mara Hoffman’s newest line. these maxis are beautiful and could easily be hijabified with a scarf and a light cardigan. just look at those prints!

salaam! head over to Salon and check out a great article critiquing Sex in the City 2. it breaks down the derogatory and racist stereotypes that the film perpetuates and addresses the anti-Muslim sentiment of the film. take that, Carrie Bradshaw!

i just submitted my dissertation! now all i have to do is defend it and i will be done! i couldn’t be happier right now, Alhamdulillah.

salaam! yesterday we enjoyed the day off (Memorial Day holiday in the states) and just lounged about. it felt so nice to not have to do anything except go to the grocery store. i wore my new cargo pants from Old Navy and these great new vegan sandals i bought from Simple. i love wearing linen in the summer. i am going to try to buy almost all linen abayas and kurtas for our travels since linen is always so cool and comfy. i am going to make a post on Old Navy hijabs soon inshAllah but let me just say that they are some of the best scarves i have ever bought!

salaam readers! inshAllah you are all doing well. the past week has been really stressful but it is finally (almost) the weekend! i wanted to highlight a really cute ring that i found while perusing Etsy. i love raw jewelry, especially raw stones and this raw Crysophrase gem is stunning. and…it is only about $60! pick one up.
