GlossyLids X Bambifacebx

Asalaam aleikum loves, i have done my fair share of make up collaborations this year and the more i do it, the more i want to do more creative looks so expect more beauty posts in 2018 in shaa Allah. I saw a glossy lid make up look on instagram a while back

FUTURE IS FEMME

 Asalaam aleikum loves, i hope you have all been well, alhamdulilah i'm great. 2017 is coming to an end,yikes right! Part of me stopped keeping tabs on how fast time goes because otherwise i'll end up saying the same thing every year. Alhamdulilah,

Minimal

Asalaam aleikum loves, Happy November, i don't usually celebrate any of these months but i suppose i'm in a good mood today. Alhamdulilah,

Red Stripes

Asalaam aleikum guys, Hope you're all well. Very unlike me to do a blog post at this time of the night, it's 10:30pm but i sleep early and i am totally unproductive at night. So i did a little vote

FLORAL EXTRAVAGANZA

 Asalaam aleikum loves, hope you're all well. These weren't the pictures i was going to post but they are too fire to not do a blogpost on. I am

Lessons learnt; OUTLIERS

Asalaam aleikum loves, Hey. I am currently in Mogadishu for work, i got here in the morning and the internet at my hotel room is what i imagine a slow painful

Winning Woman- Khadija Farah

     Asalaam aleikum, Meet Khadija, a photographer, writer and conservationist. The intros are abit of a repeat of the first question's answers lol but it has to start like that. I do not know many people on instagram that are unapologetically themselves, and this girl is one of the few who are. Her work is absolutely breath taking, like ever seen a picture that makes you feel something? Yap, that's her work. She says her best trait is that she manages to find humor in everything, no wonder she is so funny. 

As always, be inspired, i am. 

The One With The Red Skirt

Asalaam aleikum loves! Eid Mubarak to those of you that are celebrating. I'll be honest and say that my Eid was not fun, i was working for the first half of it- seriously people

Winning woman- Munira Khamis Sahal

 Asalaam aleikum loves, Meet Munira,a 22yr old girl with a Masters in chemical engineering and make up skills like no other. I first came across her page after she gave me a shoutout on Instagram saying the kindest thing, talk about women who support other women right! In fact i was inspired to revive this segment after seeing her graduation day post. I don't know a lot of chemical engineers and i'm happy to know (virtually) a Muslim woman who is one. As always, be inspired, you know i am.

Winning Woman- Amina Malyun Mohamed

Asalaam aleikum guys, intros are the hardest part in this series and i feel like i'll always say that but it is because summing up what i have learnt about these women in a few sentences is hard. Meet Amina-Malyun a soon to be lawyer, i insist on calling her a youth activist (even though she wants to be modest) and generally a girl-boss that i can not wait to meet. As always, be inspired, i am.

Faux Fur For the Weather

Asalaam aleikum loves, Kenyan "winter" is here and i'm here for it. I love that i can finally wear my jackets and coats after the everyday summer we have here in Africa. I have nothing against the sun, i like it,love it even, but the cold is nice for a change. Other parts

Winning woman: Nasra Ali

Asalaam aleikum loves, i was inspired to revive this segment after seeing a picture of our winning woman today graduating with a masters in architecture a few weeks back. I love seeing other women win, it reaffirms my belief that we can all make it and that there's enough room for all of us to do so. Meet Nasra, an architect, feminist and possibly the sweetest girl.

 Asalaam aleikum good people, so this here is my very first #sponsored post and i am so grateful for the opportunities this platform has brought my way, it's not much but no progress is too small. Modestcouture sell some

Pleats on pleats

Asalaam aleikum loves, Eid was good? Yea, mine too alhamdulilah. Pleats are in right now, Has anyone else noticed? I'm not so big on following trends but i make exceptions when the fabric feels like silk on you, besides pleats

Ramadhan Abaya Series- Look 2

Asalaam aleikum loves, i think this is the last look i'll post for the ramadhan abaya series (not much of a series huh lol). This blush pink abaya gives such soft feminine vibes and it's perfect for the days you're extra in touch with your feminine side. Pictures coming up in a few after today's episode of what i feel like will be "Amina-Talks", help me find a less

Ramadhan Abaya Series- Look 1

Asalaam aleikum loves, Ramadhan Kareem. I hope it's taking you well, nah, i hope it's filling you with absolute blessings and contentment. Speaking of ramadhan,

LIFE UPDATE...?

Asalaam aleikum loves, it has been absolutely ages and i have missed my blog, i missed this little community of ours. I just need to write, vent maybe or not, call it whatever, it's a life update of sorts. So i have not been blogging, fashion posts or otherwise because i have been working on turning moderne into a legit business and that has been taking up my time but aside from that i honestly do not want to pay someone to take my pictures,

STRIPES

 Asalaam aleikum loves, long time no posts, i know. I love me a striped outfit though, funny how this is my first outfit with stripes, well as a full dress at least. How have you guys been?

Winning Woman:Najma Mohamed

Asalaam aleikum loves, I'm featuring another woman with the quadruple role this Wednesday. It just makes me so happy that women are not only surviving but thriving at life. Its humbling to interact with women who have accomplished a lot in their life and are not even done yet. MashaAllah. Meet Najma, mother,wife,career woman and a masters student (say MashaAllah). Btw, i got nominated for the bake awards under best fashion blog, please vote for me by going to this link http://vote.bakeawards.co.ke/, Category 7,option d. Thanks.

Sporty CHic

 Asalaam aleikum loves, its one of those Long sundays,its just boring and to top it all off, the electricity went out, bruv i even had an afternoon nap which is odd for me coz i can't get myself to sleep during the day.

Winning Woman: Nafla Nabhan

Asalaam aleikum, i don't know if you've noticed but the women featured on this segment so far are quite diverse, as expected of course but it's such a nice balance of every type of woman you might aspire to be or are,at a certain point in your life. We've had a student, working girls who are not yet married, a stay at home mom (with a masters degree) and now we have a working mom,wife and a masters student, the quadruple role. MashaAllah. I hope this post inspires you to push through the week because you know, it is Humpday!. Thanks for reading, as always, Be Inspired.

How I Style: The Black Maxi Skirt

Asalaam aleikum loves,How is everyone doing? Great i hope, coz i'm estatic,i'm in a really good mood right now. So do we do the part where i say sorry for not doing a fashion post in a while and promise that i have bomb posts lined up? because i do have a bomb line up in my head, i just hope i get the time to shoot them all. If you follow me on instagram,

Winning Woman: Saher Ahmed

Asalaam aleikum, the intros are always the hardest bit for me, i don't think i'll ever learn how to summarize in a few sentences how amazing these women are. Meet Saher, a final year student at University of York, (England) a 21 year old young lady whose values on life and Islam have truly inspired me and i hope they inspire you as well. Here's what we talked about.

Winning Woman: Nasra Nuralain Adow

Asalaam aleikum you boss ladies who read this segment every Wednesday. I am actually quite proud that this segment is more popular than the fashion posts. Mama is proud haha.

Winning Woman: SamSam Mohamed

       Asalaam aleikum loves, I missed last week's winning women post because i was held up but here's this week's post. Meet Samsam, probably the woman with the most important career here, A mother. I wanted to share her story because despite the career woman ideal that is popularized (don't get me wrong, she has a masters degree, haha) it is also absolutely acceptable and equally praised to be a mother and a wife and a woman who takes care of her home. We should all aspire to be whatever we want to be. She also has a motherhood blog Simply A Mama.I hope you're all inspired by her as always.

A little Pastel

Asalaam aleikum, Hey! hope you are doing great and feeling blessed, i know i am. Here's the thing about doing posts on other people (Winning women posts), you borrow something from everyone's 'way of life' for lack of a better word.

Her blog she says is 'a way for her to go out more and attract more positive vibes along the way', this in turn uplifts her readers, you vicariously live in the moments through her blog and adventures, i know i did. Here's what this free spirit had to say.

Today's winning woman is Lawyer (LLM) Aisha Taib. So grateful she allowed this interview that has left me nothing short of inspired. Here's what we talked about;
