3 GORGEOUS WAYS TO WEAR DENIM THIS SUMMER - PART 1

Images by: Capturing concepts photography

Welcome to part one of my denim series. I created this series based on the fact that I know for sure each and every one of us has at least one, two or three denim items in our closet. It may be in the form of a denim jeans (skinny, straight cut or bootlegged), a denim shirt (cropped, rustic in color or the traditional Levi strauss one) and of course the edgy denim dress that transcends through the seasons: In summer with sandals or pretty heels and Autumn with leggings and boots. 

For this look I decided to bring the 70's inspired bell-bottom jeans back in style! I remember when this made a come back a few years back, I'd often wear it to work dressed slightly down for a more formal look and so that I could be taken 'seriously' by my students (laughs). Needless to say the ones who had an eye for style thought that it was pretty dope.  For this look I decided to pair it with this beautiful chiffon blouse from Zara which I purchased in Riyadh when they had their end of season summer sale (score!!). If you're a shorty, these jeans give you the opportunity to wear pretty heels that will give the appearance of longer legs. The Diamante choker from 4flavour Accessories is a piece I selected from their summer range. I love chokers. So by adding this diamante one to my collection was a no brainer. It's perfect for a night out on the town with the girls or a seriously decked out event at a luxurious hotel. 

I hope you've enjoyed reading my post today and keep a look out for the next two parts of my denim series that'll inspire you to wear denim-gorgeously-this summer! Want to keep up with me? Follow me on Instagram and Like me on Facebook.

How to Turban Wrap

As I promised in my previous post : I will show you ladies how to wrap a beautiful turban- especially now that the holy month of Ramadaan is upon us- without it falling off from your head! Hopefully this post will assist you in tying up those loose ends? 

STEP 1-3:

* Tie your hair up in a neat pony tail or bun. 

* Use a flower clip to give your turban wrap a little more volume 

* Clip the flower clip on your pony tail or bun 

STEP 3-10 : 

* Use a plain scarf that you would like to use for under your main scarf 

* Double-Fold your scarf in front if you find that your scarf is a little long 

* Twist your scarf at the back and tie around your flower clip

* Tuck in all the loose ends of the scarf if your scarf is a fringe scarf like mine. 

STEP 10-18 :

*Get hold of your second scarf that you would like to show (a little bigger and longer than your first one) 

* Repeat steps 3-10 

Useful tips to remember while doing the turban wrap : 

1. Rectangle scarves are the best to use when turban wrapping 

2. The texture of your scarf should preferably be cotton to avoid  your scarf from slipping off (Irritating) 

3. The BIGGER and LONGER the scarf, the better. 

4. Make sure your make-up is flawless as this look pushes all your hair back and gives plenty of emphasis on your facial features. 

5. Personalize your turban look by adding accessories to your scarf like pretty pins. 

Hope you find these tips useful
