FRIDAY FASHION LINKS...!

I've been looking forward to today's post, because it features bloggers who I know and admire, and whose writing is great! Here they are below:

1. Ibreathshoes
This is a a blogger who I have followed online on Instagram for some time, and her journey has been pretty interesting to follow. She not only posts about fashion and her person style, which I love, but also posts recipes, her personal journeys and random lifestyle and foodie things! I also love the way she writes, which is down to earth and easy to get into (and sometimes long but worth a read!)

2. Sabrina Styles
This is a fun blogger whose posts I love because she is a blogger after my own heart. She posts about Pakistani fashion, how to mix Western wear with Asian outfits, as well as foodie reviews. I also love her fresh takes on affordable, easy-to-wear brands - definitely a must read!

3. Zai Khan

Not exactly a fashion blog, but a good read nevertheless! I especially loved her Affinity series, which is about couples mostly in the UK, and their stories. We often see couples and their Big Day, which are usually a full blown South Asian wedding affair, but there doesn't seem to be as much out there about the everyday lives of Asian couples, their relationships and their lives.  I thought this was a much needed view on couples, and a brilliant read. Zai Khan is currently planning another series (make sure you read her 'Trailblazing Women' series too!) and I am looking forward to that!

Hope you all have a good weekend, and a good read! x

I'm always on the look out for more blogs to read - especially in the age of social media where it's a lot about pictures and less about articles! Here's a few I've found

1. Siddy Says 
This is quite a varied website, covering topics from fashion and beauty to lifestyle, TV and art. It is quite focussed on Pakistani fashion on the Style section, but what I like most is the Stories page, which is a mixed bag of everything from different writers.

2. Zara Zi
A blog that's all things modesty, pastels and afternoon tea! I follow her Instagram account as well which gets updates more often, but it's a nice pinky account that I quite like.

3. Pinkvilla
If you don't know about Pinkvilla then you will do soon enough - it's chock full of Bollywood gossip, fashion trends, weddings and celeb topics. I've currently been surfing it for the #DeepVeer wedding posts but I also like reading it for the latest news in Bollywood land.

Let me know what you've been reading lately, and whether you already read any of these!

FRIDAY FASHION LINKS...!

I'm not always able to blog, especially when full time work and random bursts of social events happen all in one go! So here's a few bloggers whose blogs I follow, all of whom have a style I love.

1. Zahra Rose Alazaibi
Apart from her very cool outfits, Zahra also posts about skin products, makeup, her travels to various parts of the world and yummy food recipes. She's a gorgeous part-Italian, part-Libyan blogger, and I love how she manages to put her finger on the pulse and write about the latest stuff.

2. Grewal Twins
These two are among my favourite bloggers (so I can't believe I didn't mention them before!). They're both friends of mine, and both have a very and both of whom are also both friends of mine, whose work I admire a lot, and who put a lot of effort into their photography, music, poetry and tons more.

Recently they stirred up a storm with a viral post about Sikh wedding ceremonies, and how they combated the sexist prejudice in this by having their mum perform the (traditionally-male) wedding rituals. I love that they have such a beautiful, meaningful story behind this, as well as so many more of their traditions and parts of their lives.

They also do a lot of photo series with a lot of cultural and historical significance behind them, and I love the stories behind each of them, which have a lot of designing, styling and curating behind it all!

3. Saira Hayat Khan
A Canadian-Pakistani blogger, this is a gorgeous blogger who writes about her life, fashion, motherhood and health. One of the things I really like about Saira is how down-to-earth and quirky she is, yet unbelievably stylish and beautiful.

FRIDAY FASHION LINKS...!

Happy Friyay! I thought I'd post some more links for you all, especially since I've not been blogging as often as I'd like to in the last week or so, so here's some reading material for you to try in the meantime:

Modest Seamstress Blog
This is someone I met a few weeks ago whose focus is on minimalist modest fashion. I think this blogger is a wonderful one, she's very down to earth, easy to get on with and I love everything she wears! I don't think I can manage minimalism just yet (every time I clear things out of my wardrobe, I find more things to replace them with) but I do love her concept of it.

Style Haven Blog
This is one I've followed for a couple of years, and is a mix of fashion, beauty and lifestyle posts -  although admittedly I like it for the Pakistani-fashion posts!

Desi Rain Drops
This is another blogger who I have admired for a while, who posts various travel, modest fashion and food posts. I love her style and always look forward to her outfit posts, and she always has nice things to say.

FRIDAY FASHION LINKS...!

I thought I'd do something a little different this week and give a few shout-outs to bloggers whose work I admire, as well as blogs that I read myself. I know it can be difficult sometimes to find different content, and I always have loved that there are so many other bloggers out there who blog about different types of things which they are passionate about.

So here's a few to start off with, especially if you're looking for more reading material - and feel free to leave links of blogs that you read below for me to check out too!

Asian Fashion Blog
This is one of the first Asian fashion blogs that I found out there, since I first started blogging (and even before that!), and is one of the original bloggers from my early days who is still around and writing. What I love about this blog is Nazma, the writer, gives a fresh look on lots of different brands, has amazing catwalk pictures of the latest fashion shows, and excellent tips on where to find new things or how to style outfits.

Mulberry A La Mode
This is a blog I like not just because of the fashion tips, but because of the quirky anecdotes and stories behind a lot of her posts. I followed this blogger from her wedding story, her move from Glasgow to Dubai and many more, and there's a lot of beautiful outfit stylings (Pakistani and Western) to follow. She's also on Instagram and has some really pretty outfits, so check her out.

Hijabi in London
This is the blog of a friend I met online a couple of years ago, and we've been firm friends ever since! We both have the same interests in modest fashion in London, and she has worked with several British and international modest fashion brands. One of the things I've always liked about her pages is that she has an amazing eye for photography - some of her pictures are amazing, and I've always liked the fact that as someone who is a Malaysian living in London, she sees London in a different, fresh way. You can check out her YouTube channel here and her Instagram page as well.

Desi Beauty Blog
This is a pretty well-known blog which was founded by makeup-artist Nilo Haq and Pakistani supermodel Mehreen Syed, and has some pretty big names on the writing staff list, including a few Pakistani designers like HSY and Ali Xeeshan, bloggers, stylists and makeup-artists from the West, as well as a lot of interviews and articles on both Bollywood and the Pakistani film, fashion and media industry. I'm sure a lot of you may have come across this blog before, and have seen the variety of topics, but it's a good place to have a look for makeup tips!
