modest wear clothing
I love kaftans, they’re effortless and so versatile. Ammara Khan sent me their latest lace kaftan from their luxury collection and I’m in awe. I feel like a little Pakistani princess with Dior vibes. I admire their quality of their dresses and the price point is unbeatable.

New designer Anaroz designed this gorgeous statement outfit for me. I love that it can be worn for a Nikah or Eid event. I’m absolutely in awe with how stunning it turned out! The silhouette is flattering and the quality is impressive, nothing tugs or snags. We need more of these quality outfits Pakistan :)

I’ve been trying to get my hands on the Lahore based Pakistani brand, Sak Atelier for some time now and I finally found a way to snag my outfit! The only thing that was holding me back was their payment and delivery method, which is Western Union (and I do not have good experiences with that platform unfortunately). Finally, a friend went to Lahore and brought it back for me — this was definitely the most efficient method to get this outfit. I hope that changes in the future because I love their minimalistic style and at a great price point too.

When it’s chilly and gloomy out, a chic way to dress warm and look cute is dressing up your open front abaya. Pair it with a jumpsuit for the most effortless look and doll it up with accessories.

It’s been 3 years since I got to celebrate my birthday with friends and I’ve always been THAT girl to throw a huge birthday dinner or party. I was a little anxious at first planning for my birthday dinner, but I’m so glad my friends encouraged me to because it reminded me how much I love spending my special day with loved ones (and not just my family).
So I busted out this chic plisse set that I’ve been waiting to wear for the perfect occasion. It’s gorgeous and will have heads turning no matter what event :)

What I love about modest fashion pieces is the versatility. This stunning and elegant abaya can be worn as an abaya with a full slip underneath, a cardigan to add elegance to your look or as a dress. It’s a beautiful piece to add to your minimal capsule wardrobe.

Summer time is here! To keep it easy and light, I like to wear a flattering minimal spring dress for picnics. It’s easy to jazz it up with accessories so I’d rather do that instead than wearing something that might interfere with my comfort throughout the picnic.

I love rocking a meaningful shirt because it adds words to your personality, a little glimpse of who you are. Just because it’s a graphic shirt, doesn’t mean your outfit needs to be basic. Take it to the next level by styling it simple and cute with these 3 ways below.

Sometimes you feel like you have nothing to wear, but then the best part is head over to your man’s, brother’s, dad’s closet and you’ll find a trendy outfit waiting for you. Why are men’s dress shirts so comfy? I would love it if we could make more of these for women as well. The wrinkle-free, breathable and effortless dress shirts are just waiting to be worn since the pandemic. The more oversize, the better: more chic and more comfort.

I love a vintage chic look. It’s easy to add retro glam to your casual outfit with a silk square scarf and your favorite sunglasses. Just rock your oversized shades and fold the square scarf into a half triangle, place it over your hair and knot it under your chin, and voila, you’ve got vintage chic.

There’s one thing I love about fashion and that’s ability to style other pieces in a variety of ways, and that includes changing up its original purpose.
I took this cozy wrap dress and tied it in the back for a cute trench look in the back, and a modest chic cardigan in the front. It’s minimal, effortless and a sustainable way to rewear your wrap dresses.

The best packages are the ones from the motherland, no doubt. Pakistani couture designer, Ammara Khan sent me their two of their laced kaftans from their latest Miraki ready-to-wear collection and I’m absolutely in love. PS their shipping is incredibly fast, I received the package within a week!
