taming of the hijab

i can't manage to wear it successfully without tweaking it every few seconds or so, and i do not wish to end up being a Chipsmore, so... touching the waters first for now.

the current online craze amongst my friends: tudungs. shawls. huwaaa tu pun boleh jadi macam2 jenis fesyen. gone are the tudung bawals and tudung empat segi, in are the tudung syria, pashmina shawls and goodness knows what else. so... good thing some of them come cheap! (wayyy cheaper than baby carriers anyways =P).

fluff mail!

i recently bought a couple of satin shawls (in the photo above), no thanks to Pah's subtle poisoning =P and i wasn't sure what to think of them when i made my purchase. Significant Other's away and the kids are being minded, so i took abit of time (ok la, ALOT of time due to my inexperience) to do a little experiment to see if satin and me go together. i followed the tutorial which was set up by the owner herself (which i put here for my reference, it took me ages to track this tute down!):


after much struggling, this is what i came up with:

comots benor

still needs tweaking, but i conclude that i look better without glasses, else i look like a makcik T_T. this shawl is not bad. now if only i was rich so that i can stock up in every available color they have. hohoho.

i just realized that there's so many different style of headscarves out there. macam lilit tak habis pun ada. yet they still call it 'fashion'. lol.

i also have a couple of De Veil snoods i bought from my friend Lix. bought them for convenience though, first time i heard the term 'snood' was from her. the word kinda makes me think of an inappropriate sound you make coming out from your nose when you're sick: *srott srott* =P. i like the lycra snood, easy to wear although i still needed pins. i have one pashmina snood and a couple of chiffon snoods. have yet to determine which i like best.

ni kawan ai. kawan ai cun! in DV chiffon grad
