Hijabs: The Way Into A Girl's Heart

Hmm, I don't know if this post should be under Daily Style or here?

Either way, I'm going to write about my hijabs today because a girl can never have too many hijabs. Yeah, you heard me. Forget diamonds and pearls and designer purses, you can just never have too many hijabs. I know because I have five chest drawers full of multi-coloured fabrics, piled, stacked, and flung on top of one another, and yet I still love shopping/buying/recieving more.



When I went to my sister's house for the first time after she got married, I was so in awe at how she had organized her hijab drawers. So I went home and copied her, because that's what younger sisters do best. Folding your hijabs is so last year, rolling it up is the new thing to do.

Uh.. we're still talking about hijabs right?



This is the hijab drawer I have in my room. That pink cotton-candy coloured hijab in the middle and the red multi-coloured stripe one below it were gifted to me this past weekend on Eid. I love getting hijabs as gifts, although I am really picky; they have to be a specific way. I'm telling you guys, if you want to cheer your wife/mother/sister/daughter up, just gift her a hijab. You'll be her favourite person for a few days.

One thing I like to do when wearing hijabs is to not match them exactly to my shirt. I like to highlight one (or two) colours that I'm wearing and then coordinate my hijab with them, or even wear a hijab that is a few shades lighter or darker than the colour I'm wearing. It makes me feel special. I also colour coordinate my hijab drawer... and my closet for that matter. What can I say, I am high maintenance and like my things perfectly organized.

How do you guys organize your hijab drawer? Do you have any rules in how you match them? Do you only wear certain types of hijabs? Do you have any good hijab stores you go to? Please tell me, because once again, YOU I CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY HIJABS.

P.S. I really think I should have posted this under Daily Style.

My Nephew Is A Bug

Readers, I have a confession to make.

This boy has stolen my heart.

And is the only one who can possibly make a double-chin look good.
