why covering your hair if showing where your bust????

i owe this post to my mom about a week ago,, I had just had time to write rite now.

about last 2 saturday ago,, my moms saw a hijabist girl with something like little vest made of denims,,,, well,, i imagine something like this:



well,, i dont need to tell you again,, about the hijab rule( i'm kinda a rule breaker though) . but hijab should cover almost your everything. and my question is,,,,,, why would you bothering to cover if you wearing something which said "hello,,,, these are my boobs"

so,, if you're hijabist,, maybe you dont know,, ( but please do not act like you dont wanna know) i'll let you know,, that your outft shouldn't :

-has cutting around your bust( above like bustier,, below {exactly on your bra line},, or worst,, exactly on your full bust line)
-has terrible detail on your bust( in color, aplique, or textured)
-has a acessories around it( usualy necklace, get it shortened!!!)
-make your bust as point of view

here i show you some pics you shouldn't be inspired










and gurls,,,,, face it that bolero and mini vest is not for you!! you still can look fabolous without it,,,, instead o wearing bolero,, you can wear cardigan,,, and you can chacge your mini vest with a real vest

yellow dress


met another sister of mine,, nisa,,

she's wearing the dress that i made for her,,



making this dress isn't as easy as gesigning it,,,, much harder than i could ever imagine,,, the hardest part isn't making the pattern or sewing it,,, it only takes 2 days,,, but i spent almost 5 days just to do the finishing,,,, if you could see the neck and armhole area,,,, well,, my own design is killing me!!!! i dont wanna use layers in,, because i think it's gonna ruinning all the whole dress. the fabric is something like semitransparant cotton,and if you can see what i want for the waist area,, you would know what i mean. i just didn't know that making this little edging could be so chalanging.



i like these buttons,,, so simple and so pretty

a little thing from a litle skill part 1: phone case




Hey gurls,,, can you knit???? maybe a little,, like me,,

well,,, i'm giving you an idea,,, to make your knitting learning become more fun,, or you just so bored of making another shawl,, but all the stitch you know are knit and purl,, so i made this lovely ( i think) phone case

here's all you need :















later i found out that you need these stuffs too




then make a simple piece of stokinete about 3 times longer then your cellphone's widht and not wider than your cellphone's length,, because naturally it will fit your phone,,, just like t-shirt to your body,, they're elastic.















fold folowing this pic and sew both sides
































i made this simple crochet flower and sew it with the buttons














and TARAAAA!!!!!!!!!!


you can make it in less than 2 hours,,,

i have one tips for you,,,, if you have a very litle skill in knitting,,, you just know stokinete,,,, use unique yarns,,, thet has a textured,,, like these:



Have fun!!!!

hmm,, what else?

why should you be ashamed?

hei gurls,,, i've been reading some of girls style blog,,, and found one similarity on them,, they have some article that only consist of their look,,,, what they wear everyday,,, welll,,, that part is always be my fave,,, i love fashion!!!! and i like girls who share's their taste of fashion. good job girls!!!!

what makes me so sad is,,,,,, below the photo of they look usualy there's all the detail writen. such as: shoes by : prada, jacket by :guess,,, etc,,, BUT,,,,,, if the items they wear is not from famous brand,, or just local one,, they just write : " unbrandeed shirt " oh helllllllowwwwwww,,, i knew where you got that shirt!!

so,, why sould you be ashamed only for not wearing ZARA or GUESS? if you do love fashion ,, love your look,,and really appreciate it,,, you should appreciate every creative side who design and create every piece of your pretty look,,, not only the high price one,, or you dont need to write the detail at all!! be fair!! if you dont know what or who is it,,, take it off,, turn in nside out,, check the back area,,, the label is usualy there.

umm,,, OK,, i'm giving you my look for yesterday



dress: mineola (anyone ever heard that?) , pants: levi's , balerina cardigan : zara ( owh i love this one!!!!!! ) shoes: fladeo, bag: malioboro ( i swear there's no label in that), headscarf: shafira ( oh you sould feel it,,,, so soft,,, so floaty,,, the color is always good in me ,,, the only thing i dont like is,,, it's too narrow,,, i have to make sure they cant see my hair everytime i wear it)



i heard this kind of statement a couple of times( not to me,, they wrote it) " why are you so proud of wearing mark&spencer(zara,giordano,,you named it)? in america,, it's just of middle class brand. well,,,, for me that's a very very wrong reason for not wearing them,,,,,, what does the statement 's trying to say? ooh,,, you dress up to show your social status?? what is so wrong being middle class???

for me, every class who create those faboulous fashion,,,, deserve to get your appreciation if you wear them and love what you wear.

if you read it,, sorry for making you hate me,, i'm just telling you what's in my mind
