Leather Craze

"A fashion, that does not reach the streets, is not a fashion," According to Coco Chanel...And that leads me to my final verdict that leather pants are definitely a hot trend once again! If you have not invested in a pair just yet, i recommend it. Leather pants are a MUST for this fall/winter.

I still remember, in 5th grade my mom bought me my first pair of wide leg leather pants. Being the inpatient child i was, i wore them to school and remember tripping and falling during recess, while playing basketball, and ripping my brand new pair of leather pants. I was so devastated..Seeing how i was never able to keep up with the trend in 5th grade you can only imagine how excited i am that they are back, once again, with an even better style and edge!

People may say that leather pants are hard to pull off, well...their right.
It's a little tricky trying to balance the masculinity and femininity of the entire outfit. Givenchy model wore a pair of skinny leg leather pants with a mid-length coat....without those accessories, the outfit would not be as striking. You can pair these pants with heels or booties to make the outfit look more "girly." You don't necessarily have to wear all black, although all black looks more chic, its always fun to throw in some colors. Try a beige top and pair it with a pair of red booties. The colors will add more to your outfit, and will definitely draw more attention.

Speaking of RED ....I know these pants scream 'look at me' but definitely in a good way. They are so bold, that many accessories are not needed. Balmain's collection for winter was Brilliant. The army inspired blazer meshed so well with the red pants, that you cant help but keep staring.

Leather leggings are also another option for this Fall.When wearing these always try to wear a longer top that does cover up your assets. Since the leggings are so tight, the top must flow for the outfit to flow. if not, your outfit could be a complete train wreck.

OMG! shoes

Shoes....That word alone is so bold.What girl doesn't have a shoe fetish? Shoes, in my opinion, complete an outfit.

Every girl needs a pair of Nude pumps.This color is awesome, it goes with everything, and just about any color!


A look you can expect to see around for awhile is the embellished heels with the spikes. It adds a bit of edge to the shoe making it look a little more daring.


Being hijabi, i understand the frustration sometimes when trying to tie your outfit together. The more open you are towards colors, the easier your life will be. I usually attempt to match my Hijab with my shoes when putting an outfit together.

This pair of Louboutin's is a legit example. The variety of colors in the shoe make it so much easier to find clothes to wear with the shoes. This oxford style pump adds a dash of femininity to the shoe.


If you aren't much of a heels person, the original oxfords are your best bet, and also my recent obsession.Not only are these shoes casual,but very attractive. 


Statistically, the first thing people look at when meeting somebody is their shoes sadly enough. Try stepping out of your box and purchasing a pair of wild shoes that you never in your wildest dreams imagined you would wear. A bold pair of shoes doesn't need much of an outfit to look good, the shoes speak for themselves.

Bought a Fuji Instax Mini camera and decided to shoot some portraits. I need to start doing them again.

Harem Heaven

Harem pants are hands down one of the most controversial items of clothing since 2009. In my opinion, it doesn't get any better than this! I am a harem pant fanatic! Wearing these pants takes a lot of courage and confidence, and with a trendy top and the right accessories anyone can rock this classy/comfortable look.

This eastern-inspired look is great for hijabis. Not only are these pants elegant, they are non-clingy and very breathable..something EVERY hijabi should keep in her closet!

Balmain did a great job pairing these pants with detailed blazers and a pair of mid length booties. Not a fan of the shoes? Try substituting the booties with a fun vibrant color of heels...A red, Indigo, or even brown pair of heels can never fail you

When you have a statement pair of Harem pants, try not to go over board with accessories. Ralph Lauren, for example, paired a sequined pair of gold harem pants with a beige button down, keeping the colors neutral. They tied the outfit together with 2 great accessories without going overboard. Don't be afraid to wear hats... fedoras, look great with just about anything! BELTS make a HUGE difference. Always try to incorporate a belt into your outfit if possible.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. Asalaam-Alaikum everyone!

Words cannot express how excited I am to FINALLY start this blog, and hopefully inspire you all along the way! A quick introduction of myself....I'm Rida Aamir, born and raised in Houston, Texas. I'm currently a Pre-med Biology major, and health minor. Although saving lives is my ultimate desire, Fashion has ALWAYS been a huge part of my life. About a year and half ago I started wearing Hijab (for those of you who don't know what a hijab is, google it). Hijab is not just a piece of cloth on your head, there is so much more behind it. The true essence of Hijab has been lost and with this blog, I hope to show you all that being modest does not necessarily mean you can't be fashionable!

When I first started wearing hijab, not only was I constantly sweating in all my different layers of clothing, I was frustrated on a daily basis because my attire was so limited. The goal of my blog, InshAllah, is to give you guys some of my personal input and show you all how I would throw certain outfits together, not only to fit the "hijabi code of conduct" but to also keep up with the latest trends...and to look cute, of course! According to my fav fashion icon, Rabia Z, Modesty is always in style people!
