I was recently sent an Eid bundle by by greeting card company Muslim by Design - who design and make their own Islamic-themed quirky cards, wedding invites and wrapping paper. For Eid the company designed some cards and wrapping paper to be sold as bundles or individually, which I thought were perfect - they're simple, beautifully made and they make me smile!
It's nice to see that there are companies like this one catering for Muslims for special days - I remember when we were young most of our cards on Eids from relatives had big cheesy roses, or were pretty generic cards.
These are the cards - they're perfect for me and my sisters, and I'll admit, I half-wished someone had bought these and gave them to me! I can think of several people I would give these to, however and can imagine them smiling when they get it!
Next is the wrapping paper which I though looked lovely - you can't tell but the gold spots are actually metallic gold and look very elegant. I didn't get a chance to use this paper for last Eid so I'm saving it for the next! I've seen a lot of Eid cards but I haven't come across much themed wrapping paper, so it's nice to know that this is being thought of too.
I have bought from this company before, and find their designs refreshing, cute and very on-trend! I actually came across the company at an Eid fair a couple of years back and loved their designs - it's rare to find a company that combines good quality with aesthetics, great customer care and great price! I bought a few colourful cards from them at that time and am glad to get hold of a couple more!
Muslim by Design sells via Etsy, or you can also contact them via Instagram.

Our Eid...Day #2
I'm sure you know by now that when my family does Eid, we tend to make the most of it! On the second day of Eid we had lunch at my sister's and my family went to my aunt's for dinner, which was a relaxed evening of fun.
My outfit for the second day was a metallic green and gold outfit by a Pakistani label called Sequence, which my best friend bought as a gift for me on her last visit to Pakistan. I love the cut of this outfit - the top is a A-line angrakha-style top, which came with shimmery gold salwar-style bottoms that went perfectly. I paired this with metallic gold heels and a gold and cream clutch, which went perfectly!
I loved the decor my sister had set up - colourful pastels, which was finished off by a beautiful throw on the table to bring the colours together. She always puts together a different, pretty theme for Eid as well as Ramadan and I loved the colours for this year.
Food was a fun affair, with plenty of dishes of course - if you're from an Asian family like mine you'll know that it's not a dinner unless theres lots of different dishes and desserts!
The babies went colourful for the second day of Eid, with flouncy party dresses that they looked seriously cute in!
I wish I had more photos to show you of our Eid weekend, but honestly we always manage to not take enough because we're too busy yakking away and enjoying the good food!
Hope you all had a good weekend!

BOLLYWOOD ISHTYLE: Amrita Rao in Payal Singhal at Filmfare Awards 2014
Curiously enough, I'm a kind-of fan of Amrita Rao - I don't see her as one of the more bigger, more successful stars of Bollywood, but there's something about her which I find cute and understated. Or maybe it's because of that one film she made back in the noughties which I enjoyed at the time and has stuck ever since.
You can see more pictures of what the beautiful Bollywood celebs wore here and here. There's a few more outfits that I thought were funky, like Neha Dhupia in a Payal Singhal lengha, and Karishma Kapoor in a an Anamika Khanna designed saree-gown - which celeb outfit did you prefer most?
Anyway, seeing the elegant Amrita Rao at the Filmfare Awards 2014 in a Payal Singhal sari makes me like her style too - it's gracefull, simple and works beautifully together, reminding me slightly of the 1950s Bollywood stars too (maybe it's the hair). I thought her look was finished off well with the her with her polki uncut diamonds studs (apparently by Esta), a simple ring (by Aquamarine) and a pretty, sleek black clutch (by The Source) - with Amrita being styled by stylist Triporna Majumder.
