MW's 3 Ways To Wear: Blazer


Hey Whirlers!! 

Sorry, I`ve been MIA! Been lazy and no motivation, or as my bbloggers say, I had lost my 'bojo'!

But, here we go:

3 Ways To Wear: Blazer

A blazer is the probably one of the most versatile item of clothing someone can have in their wardrobe. You can dress it up and down. I have chosen to show you: formal, casual and ladies lunch.


 1. FORMAL
Tailored trousers, a pussybow blouse, an animal print shirt, anything that you would be able to wear into the office, throw on a blazer and the entire look has rounded up. Throw on some high heels and this look can be worn into work, job interview or anywhere nice.

Blouse - Vero Moda
Long Vest - H&M
Trousers - Zara
Blazer - H&M
Bag - ALDO
Accessories - H&M

2. CASUAL
I love wearing my comfy, colourful clothes and throwing on a blazer to complete the look. In this photo I have worn a pink long sleeve t-shirt, slim fit blue jeans, brown pumps and bag and this oversized abstract scarf that I`ve worn as a snood to complete the casual look. Why don`t you wear your usual casual clothes and see how much cuter it looks with a blazer on top?

Abstract Scarf - Monsoon
Pink Tee - H&M
Long Vest - H&M
Blazer - H&M
Jeans - H&M
Pumps - H&M
Bag - Zara
Accessories - H&M

3. LADIES LUNCH
We all love going out for meals with our friends and we want to wear something cute yet comfy. So, I`ve worn an oversized nude t-shirt, skinny jeans, black court shoes and a nude clutch...and, the blazer just adds a little smartness to the simple outfit, making it perfect to go eat at a nice restaurant for lunch and mocktails!!

Oversized Tee - H&M
Blazer - Zara
Shoes - Kurt Geiger
Clutch - New Look
Accessories - H&M

These looks can all be done with different colours of blazers, too, obviously. So, have fun and throw on a blazer over your already cute outfit and watch it come together.

P.S. Pastel/nude/bright coloured blazers are HOT this spring/summer. Invest in one!

I`m abroad at the moment, and I just wanted to say a 
MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS

May Allah make the period from engagement to the wedding day smooth. And, I hope you have a wonderful day. Its the nearly the start of a new adventure!!

MW's Attempt At FrootiBeauty's Naked Arab Look...

Hey Whirlers! 

Hope everyone is well? I`m currently away at the moment. Probably taking snaps of my family and the scenery! Will share once I`m back. Anyway, on with the post.

I have a beautiful friend called, frootibeauty and she is a MUA. She regularly posts her eye make up and they`re really inspiring....so, I gave one a go: Naked Arab...

Here are her photos (be ready to be blown away):



*beautiful* Masha`Allah

And, now, lollllll, here is my attempt (don`t laugh):




I`m actually really embarrassed to show you this, lol.

But, yeah SOOOOO not as good as Frooti's! I wasn`t able to blend it like hers, nor achieve the right shape. I want to blame my tools, but its just me not being very good lol *cries*

But, that just means, you guys should all check out her blog!
http://frootibeauty.blogspot.com/
Follow, follow and follow.

What do you guys think? Should I put down the brushes? lol

1. Flew over KSA during the sunset. AMAZEBALLS.
2. My cousin sister gave birth whilst I was visiting, so was able to meet my lil bambino!! Alhamdulilah, mother and son are doing well.
3. Paid my respects at the Shahid Minar. Always wanted to go here. You guys might think this is nothing, but I`m pretty cultural #geekalert

MW Goes Ice Skating

Whirlers!! I`ve missed you! I`ve been pretty busy for the last few weeks and will be for another few more weeks, unfortunately! Hope everyone is well. Couple of weeks ago, I went to the Tiffany & Co. Ice Skating Rink at Somerset House in London and it was AMAZEBALLS. LOVED IT.

I went during the day, so it wasn`t as crowded, which gave me more confidence on the ice and I was actually not bad for once. I usually hold onto the side for the ENTIRE session, but last week I even surprised myself lol and rarely held onto the side. I think thats why I enjoyed myself, I wasn`t a wuss lol. But, I DID fall, RIGHT at the end. Even the Ice Marshall was surprised I fell lol! 

Its such a fun thing to do with friends/family. Theres a tuck/coffee shop so people who aren`t so keen on the ice skating can sit inside and watch in the warmth from the side. Honestly, go! Its so much fun!

I`ve uploaded a few pics from the day. Enjoy :)

Have any of your guys been ice skating lately?

MW's Snapshot Saturday

Salam :)

I`m REALLY sorry for not replying to comments, I am reading them with a smile on my face, but I`ve been so hectic with life at the moment, my bloggy has taken a backseat, but I have a few scheduled posts lined up, so please do bear with me...and, I will babble away properly after I get back from my trip.

Hectic week, haven`t really taken photos :(


1. Went to Westfields in Stratford City, I really like this map they have on the wall facing the escalators as you`re going down to the mens section in Primark. Its a cartoon version of London.
2. STILL packing. I`ve come to the conclusion, I can never be able to travel light for ANY trip!! *annoying*
3. Just the outfit I wore when I went to Westfields, I`m actually in the H&M changing rooms lol. But, I wore black trousers, black jersey long vest, an animal print chiffon blouse over that, black blazer and my brown ballerina pumps to match that brown handbag.
4. This was a photo of a hijab stall in Whitechapel Market that I sent to my BFF who lives in the Midlands, I got caught taking the photo. *awkward* lol.

I`m SO silly. I had been craving gbk for over a week, and I had some when I went to Westfields, but I COMPLETELY forgot to take a photo. Bottoms :(

Anyway, hope you`re all well.
I`m uncertain about access to the internet on my trip so I may not be able to do my 'Snapshot Saturday' for a couple of weeks *sadface* but, if I can, I will definitely try!!

How has your week been?
