MW's Khaki Killa Heels OOTD

Hey Whirlers,

Hope you`re all well.

It was my birthday over the weekend so I had an excuse to dress up (!), I opted for a dipped dress in khaki,  which is currently my favourite colour! I`m loving dipped dresses at the moment, also. They`re perfect for modesty and fab for petite girls, as you won`t trip over the front hem!

What do you think of my outfit?

MW's Feminine Fierce OOTD

Whirlers, 

If you follow me on Instagram, then you`ll know, I recently purchased beautiful studded boots:

So, over the weekend, I incorporated them into my outfit as I was dying to wear them! They are surprisingly comfortable for Zara. And, at the moment they are £16.99 on the website!

Studs and spikes isn`t my usual attire, so I kept it feminine with a floral blouse and a long pleated maxi skirt. As you can see, I wore the floral blouse and funky belt from my recent goodies post! I`m seriously loving this belt - literally finding any excuse to put it on.

MW's Cosy Charcoal OOTD

Hello Whirlers, kem cho?

Sorry I`ve been MIA for a while...hope all are well! 

I`m going to be at Smoky not Smudgy on the 17th - will you be there? Would be great to see you! Let me know if you`re going!! :)

---

Autumn is finally creeping on us, with the golden leaves on our drives, the icy mornings, the earlier Maghrib azaan and the warmth of hot chocolate. This can only mean, all my favourite colours come out to play! 

I recently purchased a charcoal grey maxi skirt, which I am absolutely obsessed with. It goes with so many different hues of colour which I am discovering when I play around creating new outfits. A favourite colour combination of mine with grey is...burgundy. This is great as its such an on trend colour this season. It not only adds warmth to a dull hue (the grey) it just looks so cosy!

I`ve also dug out my snoods from the back of my cupboard, so yay - even more cosy time for me!

What do you think of my outfit?

Tshirt - H&M

Cardigan - Zara

Skirt - eBay

Bag - Matalan

Shoes - Deichmann

Accessories - H&M/Forever 21

Hijab - Forever 21

Snood - H&M

Also, a fun photo which I uploaded onto Instagram:

What other colour combinations go with grey? 

(So, I have even more excuse to wear this maxi skirt!)

Also, are you going to SnS this year??

P.S. Have you seen my pics from my trip to Paris? Here and here.

MW's Pin(e)ing for Paris OOTD

Bonjour Whirlers,

Ça va?

I went to Paris and had a magical time!! I took PLENTY of photos which I shall share later this week, but here is an outfit I wore on the trip:

HUNTER GREEN:

Massive this fall. Absolutely adore this shade! I want to buy so many items this colour! Wearing it with black makes it look that much more gorgeous, in my opinion!

This is me in front of the Louvre Museum. 

Blouse: Forever 21

Waiscoat: H&M

Skirt: H&M

Hijab: eBay

Bag: Zara

Boots: New Look

Accessories: Street Princess/H&M

What do you think about hunter green? So fall, right?

MW`s Coral City Lights OOTD

Hello Whirlers :)

I`m a tourist at heart. I love exploring London, especially at night time when the view is amazing. I HAD to take photos and share with you! I went to More Place in London Bridge. I love coming here, its so beautiful. There are restaurants along the river, so you can have dinner with a spectacular view. 

Come rain or shine, I will always look for a photo opportunity:

Blazer: Forever 21

Shirt: H&M

Maxi Skirt: H&M

Hijab: Zara

Bag: Zara

Boots: New Look

I absolutely adore Forever 21 blazers. The fit is really good and reasonably priced! I recommend everyone to buy a blazer from Forever 21!! This coral one is current season and really brightens up a dull outfit, which I love.

But, tell me the view is amazing. Because. It. Is. AMAZING.

Haha - tell me your favourite view in London?

MW's Fall/Winter Footwear

Hello Whirlers,

To ensure I get maximum use of my shoes/clothes, every season I choose what are the likely items I`m going to wear. I put them out, so I know what my options are every morning when I get dressed.

I have a theory that if I do this, every season, then I know I am making use of my clothes and not gathering dust in the closet. What I like to tell Mama Mango, is that I`m being economic with my clothes. Plus, its always nice to have you clothes out, so when you`re creating an outfit, its easy to see the options.

This evening I sorted out my fall/winter footwear, and I thought I would share with you:

(click photo to enlarge)

BOOTIES

Booties are PERFECT for the fall/winter where your toes will stay nice and warm! They are also all over the catwalk, so they are big this season! I have kept my open-toed booties out for a short period because I think open-toes are perfect for the transition into winter, so I think I will RINSE these booties until its too cold to wear them.

RIDING BOOTS

I adore riding boots, they are ideal for fall/winter! They go with jeans, even coloured jeans, which is ideal if you want to carry your coloured jeans over into the fall/winter. They go fabulously with midi skirts, which is perfect for a modest dresser, especially as midi skirts are all over the shop floors, so its a perfect excuse to buy midi length skirts.

OXBLOOD

Any footwear that is oxblood/maroon/burgundy - then you are SERIOUSLY on trend this fall/winter. I am absolutely obsessed with this colour and I am buying EVERYTHING that my eyes fall on in these shades - its getting ridiculous now though!

LOAFERS

These are the new ballet pumps, just much more trendy! I love them. Round up outfits so nicely and goes with EVERYTHING - I kid you not! If you prefer to wear flats to heels, then I think tan, black and oxblood hues would be ideal for this season. At least one pair would go with your outfit, you will be comfortable, and more importantly, on trend!

NEUTRALS

These types of footwear NEVER go out of fashion, simply because it is a safe option. I tend to sway to neutral footwear, when I am unsure about which shoes to wear with an outfit. I know I will feel confident in neutral because attention won`t be drawn to the shoes, so it won`t be an issue - does that make sense?

MILITARY BOOTS

I don`t really have military boots simply because its not my style and I`m 5ft, so they don`t really suit me. However, I do have these trendy/edgy/studded boots, which I feel work as a substitute and I would use these to attempt the military trend this fall/winter.

What are you wearing this fall/winter?

MW's Bright Lights and City Lights OOTN

Whirlers, 

If you follow my blog, then you will know I went out for dinner with Lilmissrosh earlier this week, where Rosh was kind enough to take photos of my outfit to share with you:

(click photos to enlarge)

I wore black chinos, black shirt and an oversized tailored blazer in hot pink. By keeping the accessories muted, I was able to ensure the hot pink blazer stood out!

OVERSIZED BLAZERS

I am kind of in love with oversized blazers at the moment - I think that`s because its so simple to throw on over an outfit and it will just round it up - and still be on trend! Especially, as I went to dinner straight after work, so needed something office friendly, yet could pass as 'going out' afterwards. To keep it casual, I rolled up the sleeves and ensured my black shirt sleeves were poking out.

Shirt - H&M

Chinos - Zara

Blazer - Forever 21

Clutch - New Look

Shoes - New Look

Belt - Zara

Hijab - eBay

What do you think? Yay or nay for oversized blazers?

MW's Bordeaux Booties OOTD

Whirlers,

Two of my recent purchases, which I am crazy about: 

- City Bag - Zara (£49.99)

- Burgundy Booties - New Look (£24.99)

I`m finding any opportunity to wear these:
(click on photos to enlarge)

Tunic - Next

Trousers - Dorothy Perkins

Hijab - eBay

Accessories - Street Princess/Dorothy Perkins/H&M

Both are fab items to wear this fall. 

I paired these items with a black tunic, black jeans and a black hijab as I wanted all eyes to be drawn to my booties.

BURGUNDY

ANYTHING burgundy, whether it be your shoes, or your lips all the way to your socks, will be a big on-trend movement this season. I`m loving it this fall, simply because burgundy is one of my favourite colours and I already have a few burgundy items in my wardrobe! Although, there is no harm in stocking up on more burgundy items...

STRUCTURED BAGS

Move aside, slouchy hobo bags and make way for structured, rigid big handbags - YAY! I hate slouchy bags, I much prefer structured bags - so am totally loving this trend, too. This bag is GENIUS. It has SO many compartments and keeps everything organised. The interior is burgundy, too! 

TOTALLY LOVE.

What do you think? Yay or nay?

MW's I SEA Your Outfit & I Raise Mine OOTD

Whirlers ;)

How is everyone doing?! 

Basically, three weeks ago, I uploaded this skirt onto Instagram and asked for helped from the ladies on my IG to make an outfit with this skirt, as I was SERIOUSLY struggling and hadn`t even worn the skirt as I couldn`t find ANYTHING to go with it: 

I had so many girls give their opinions, and here a list of the outfits they thought would look good with this skirt:

@fujjywujjy - black t-shirt, black blazer and black leggings OR long white shirt

@sweetchums - nice bright top (coral/mustard) and toned down hijab

@bonitasusie - plain white t-shirt tucked in, plain colour hijab - black/grey

@yousras - red silky top, or bright pink or fuschia top

@thursdayslovechild - orange top, fuschia hijab

@jannatul_ferdusi - bright colour blouse and nude hijab

@black_mamba8 - to call him before I buy something as this looks like his mums curtain -.-

@crysiona - black or white blouse

Just wanted to say thank you for all your advice ladies, and mamba (-.-)

I now have MANYYYYY ways to wear this maxi skirt!! 

And, this is how I decided to style it:

 

 

T-shirt: H&M

Skirt: H&M

Blazer: H&M

Sandals: Zara

Handbag: ALDO

Hijab: Green St

Accessories: F21/H&M

MW's OOTD: Man(go)Made Maxi ;)

Whirlers!

I had a project at the back of my mind for a while, but the other day, a friend of mine totally inspired me to get creative and get on with it, soooo, I proceeded with and ended up sewing myself a maxi skirt out of my Ma`s kameez.

I shaped  the panels, so it would flow out towards the bottom and  I added a piece of elastic at the back, to form a shape, and to basically not fall off my hips.

I took a few snaps of me sewing it and then OOTD (duh) of it, check it out!

Ohhhh, its finally coming together!!

 

 

I think its not bad for a first attempt of making a skirt!

I had two TINY slits at the bottom, just to make it a little different. 

Vest: H&M

Blazer: H&M

Maxi Skirt: MangoWhirl (lolll)

Hijab: Zara

Accessories: H&M/Forever 21

Hellllooo, 1st of June! Its the first time in SO long that I don`t have exams around this time of year, but I still have the butterflies in my stomach for my friends who are all in exam-mode at the moment! So, I hope everyone that has exams currently are revising hard and are only checking this page out on a well deserved break! :p

On with the post, I got given this gorgeous light dip hemmed maxi cardigan from F21, and I just had to share! Its perfect for summer!

Because it is SUCH a bright tangerine colour (which cant be seen in these photos) I kept it simple with black and nude.
