Hello Kitty Wedding Dress

Hello Kitty Wedding Dress

Hello Kitty overwhelmed me when I was seven, but I think some girls are not too old for this white cat Japanese Sanrio. Japanese brides who have the money for the kitsch can disburse $ 4.000 for a ruffly dress, pink wedding adorned with Hello Kitty's face. And if that's not enough for the fan, who apparently can have a Hello Kitty wedding made in the entire chain of hotels in Japan Daiichi Hanyu. Wedding packages cost between $ 8,717 to 22,275 dollars.

Sanrio is not the only company that provides cartoon-themed wedding for the bride child. Last year, Disney launched a line of wedding dresses for women who want to look and feel like your favorite princess fairytale wedding day. The most expensive wedding dress Disney princess is a thousand dollars cheaper than the wedding dress of Hello Kitty, and I guess it's because Disney dresses are much less foam and busy looking.

Bridal Veils

Bridal Veils

The wedding veil you choose depends on how formal your wedding will be in general and its appearance - the veil should complement your wedding dress, not overpower it. You also need to consider how you will be using her hair. You can get a veil covering her hair at the ceremony and then remove at the reception to show their hair, or choose a hairstyle that will support the veil and you will use throughout the event.

The length of the veil depends on the label of religion or church. Here are some of the styles bridal veil over the type of dress that will look the best.

The veil of fingertip veil is the most versatile style. Falling all the way to the fingertips when arms hang naturally, this veil goes with most of the types of dresses, ball gowns to the spine slips.

The elbow is a soft veil of light that reaches the elbow and is perfect for informal weddings to provide a veil of beauty, not detract attention from you or your clothing.

The waltz veil reaches to the ankles and it looks great in long dresses without trains.

The cathedral is the more formal veil wedding veils, but extends around three and a half yards away from the hull and is used with a cathedral train length. Just pick the cathedral veil if your gown is complicated enough to carry out this aspect.

Wedding Hairstyles Long Hair

Wedding Hairstyles Long Hair

Brides with long hair tend to choose to have formal wedding updos, but designers have taken the classic updo and gave them a modern touch. Take a look!

This classic cap has given a contemporary touch with the twisting style. Start with a spiral and pull hair into a ponytail to the left of center. Twist tightly on a rope, then wrap and pin in a knot. Complete with two forks glass color palette of your wedding.

Trendy Wedding Shoes

Trendy Wedding Shoes

The new fashion dresses wedding at New York Fashion Week show elegant wedding dress styles that resemble more of Oscar dresses bridal fashion. Strapless elegant, trumpet shapes, is transparent above the knee, and openings that go all the way to the thighs. Now you might ask - what kind of shoes you wear to a wedding dress fashion?

There are two ways to go about doing this. If your dress is very complex and has a crack, or is short enough that your feet will be visible, consider the simple but elegant slingback shoes. Nine West has refined styles will not be as bright as her dress, but look better than the base strip heels.

For girls who shudder at the thought of wearing a white dress, a lot of designers at Fashion Week includes a lot of wedding dresses of two and three colors in their collection. For footwear, you can choose shoes that match the color of your dress - red heels to match the band Red empire waist, for example. You can also try silver or gold shoes for a complementary rather than watch the game.

Finally, if you want a traditional dress, long white wedding, now is the time for you to be uncompromising in their shoes and wear whatever you want! There will be at the ceremony and can be displayed during the reception. Imagine the only thing that would be bright pink in color, black toes feathered out look from the outside of her dress as she walks down the aisle.

Hijabi Beginner: Iqraa

As part of the Hijabi Beginner posts, I interviewed a new hijabi to find out why she decided to adopt the hijab at the tender age of 13 (awwwww!).. Sorryy, but I think I'm fast approaching the age at which I am allowed to be patronising, yaayyy :o)

Here's as little about her...

"Hey, my name is Iqraa Shahid and I live in Cumbernauld, Scotland, which is in the UK. I was born on the 16/02/97 so that makes me thirteen years old (A). I am halfway through my third year in high school and this is usually the point where the exams start, eeeeeek :S!!!! I started wearing the hijab last year, after the summer and although I found it hard and it did come with its rough times, I am just so glad I went through with it and to be honest it is one of the best things I have ever done and I don't regret a single thing :D"

1: You're quite young, how do you know it's the right time to adopt the Hijab?

To be honest, there isn't really a right time to adopt the hijab. It is a hard thing to do and most people would try and put it off as much as they can. Some people grow up wearing it and have started from a very young age so don't see life any different. In my case it was different. I've always known that my mum wanted me to wear it and would eventually make but I tried putting it off for two years but I finally did it! The reasons for putting it off wasn't really because I didn't want to wear it, it was more to do with the fear I felt, which is usually what people feel when the topic of hijab comes in their lives. I knew that someday I am going to have to wear it and the more I put it off the harder it will be for me and I realised that it will just burden me until i eventually decide to wear it and masha'Allah I did and I am glad i did it during Ramadan :D

2: Truthfully, would you say that anybody had an influence on you making the decision?

Well, my mum really wanted me to wear it and things where tough between us because it was hard for her to see me not wearing it and receiving wrong attention and she feared that I would end up going on the wrong path. When I realised this, it really upset me because I knew that if I didn't wear it, the relationship between me and my mum wouldn't be as close as it was because she would be too busy trying to control me so I don't go off and do wrong things and I would be annoyed by her controlling so it would just be a whole lot of trouble. But then I realised that if I did wear it, my mum would be happy and step back and give me more freedom and respect. So yeah, she really did influence my decision.

3: How did your family react to your decision?

My mum of course was over the moon. My brothers and sisters where just happy but really didn't see the difference in me and didn't see what a huge decision it was. My dad was fine with it but he doesn't really take much things seriously so he never saw the big deal in it either, he was just glad that I was being a good Muslim I guess lol oh God that sounds so corny lol. My gran was happy since I'm the first (hopefully not the last) grandchild to wear it and my granddad who I don't see much because he isn't very well, didn't see a difference and if he did kept it to himself but I would imagine he too was very happy. My two aunts, one who does wear the hijab and one that doesn't wear really happy, the one that didn't brought me scarves and stuff and the one that does was really happy but upset because her daughters don't wear it so I understand that it hurts her to her niece wearing it when her own girls don't.

4: What was your first day like? Did people treat you differently?

The first day I wore it was the day I was going back to school after summer. Everyone was fine with it and only a few questioned me about it. But because I wasn't completely happy I kept thinking people where giving me looks and stuff but I realise now that it was all in my head and nobody really cares if I wear it or not, to them I'm still iqraa. It was really hard for me when I first wore the hijab and I went through some really rough patches and did try to blame it all on the hijab. I hadn't yet fully accepted it but now I am fine and love wearing it, yeah I do have days when i think "urghh I wish I didn't have to put this on all the blummin time" but then again, I have those days where I look in the mirror and smile back at the reflection and think this is perfect for me :D

5: What is the best thing about Hijab?

Hmmm I would say....being different (In a good way) lol. Not just like the usual teenage girl you would typically get, but someone unique, someone that will be remembered in a good way. Also not having to do my hair all the time when I go out but then again, it takes me ages getting my hijab right before I go out lol :L

6: What would you say is the worst thing about Hijab?

I'm the type of person that has to have everything in order and perfect! I can't go out without looking decent or without any makeup! I hate it when the hijab doesn't sit right, it bugs me off and I sit and have a screaming tantrum at myself for ages until I can finally get it right lol. So with hijab I hate it when it doesn't go the way I want it to!

7: Do you feel that it's has brought you closer to Allah (SWT)?

Yes I do, Hijab is about everything not just a scarf worn on your head. It's about your behaviour, attitude etc. When your walking in the street and you see a woman who wears a hijab and she has a growl on her face, it puts you right off, but when you see a hijabi with a lovely smile, greeting everyone and that, it makes you attracted and you think "wow she's a nice woman". This type of Muslim attracts people to Islam and makes them think what a lovely religion it is. Now when I go out I always think this and smile all the time cos it makes me think "this is the way I should be flaunting my religion", it is our job to welcome people to Islam and for them to see what a lovely religion it really is!

8: If a girl wants to start wearing the hijab, what would your advise be to her?

Wow, I have a lot of answers for this one lol.

I think a woman should wear the hijab when she is personally ready, but for some people this works but for others they think "what if I am never ready?". But for the people that question, well they should think of the reasons why they are putting it off? It is probably somewhere along the lines of being scared of what others think or the fear of being out casted. Trust me this doesn't happen, In fact you get more respect for wearing the hijab. Men respect women more when they wear the hijab. These women are like diamonds, they need to handled with care.

When you wear the hijab you shouldn't be doing it for anyone else but for yourself and your relationship with Allah (swt). The hijab is something that once you take on, it's something that sticks with you throughout your life and it makes you who you are. It's an amazing feeling to walk out wearing the hijab and knowing that each time you're wearing the hijab you are getting closer to Allah (swt) and to heaven.

9: And finally, what do you think of women who don't adopt the Hijab? Is it right to judge them?

I don't think you should judge anyone but yourself. Some women just aren't ready to wear the hijab and I think that this should be respected. It is between them and Allah (swt) and it should remain that way. It really depends on someone's faith and the type of Muslim they are.

If you would like to tell your hijab story, email me :)

Everybody Loves Stripes (And Wide Leg Jeans..?)

A casual outfit idea for the spring.

A lot of people say to me that because they are not as vertically endowed as others, they cannot get away with wearing wide leg jeans and therefore have no choice BUT to wear skinny jeans...

.

Here are a few tips for wearing loose bottoms for shorter women:

.

1. If you are petit and slim, wide leg jeans should work if you opt of a shorter dress and a short cardigan to avoid looking swamped.

2. If you are petit and plus size, go for bootcut jeans but not a shorter dress.

3. Choose a more structured top half (not tight) when wearing wide jeans e.g. blazer.

4. Remember, it is not always about finding clothes to suit your shape and size. It's great if you can do that but maintaining modesty is far more important.

5. Experiment. Trust me, you will find a wide leg style that suits you if you play around with the clothes you have in your wardrobe.

6. Lastly, don't think that because you are wearing wide leg jeans it is OK to wear a long sleeved top tucked into them. It's not. Sorry :(

I Actually Didn't Buy These Shoes. For Once.

($99.99, Modcloth.com)My darling coworker, MTV Twitter Jockey Gabi Gregg, who also runs Young, Fat and Fabulous, had on a great pair of studded boots. I was like, point blank: I'm buying those. Until I realized I own about seven pairs of black boots. At which point nly my spotty, waning sense of financial propriety kept me from buying these really fun studded boots from ModCloth. Ugh.

Fighting Oppression

After two long weeks of hardship and bloodshed, the Egyptians are still fighting for their freedom from tyrannical leadership. May Allah (SWT) give them strength and grant them victory over their oppressors and those supporting the oppression of these Muslims (this, unfortunately and ironically, includes the Saudi Arabian rulers). May Allah (SWT) weaken their enemies to shame and despair in this life and the next. Ameen.
