Abaya Princess

What are you going to wear for Eid? If you're undecided, here are a few ideas from Arabian Nites.The creator of Arabian Nights,Yasmin Safri says: "I’d like to fuse Asian and western styles and create short abaya’s for women who want to wear them over jeans and take their first steps into the Islamic way of dressing. I don’t want to alienate anyone.". Her designs are simple, classy and modern. Here are my favourites:


Simple and classy £85


The gold and turquoise stones make this peice exquisite.£125

Help me Choose My Abaya!!!!

So, Artizara is having a huge sale and I'd like to get 2 Abayas to add to my collection. These days I ask myself if I will ever be an Abaya girl. I remember how I used to picture Abayas as being for middle-aged women! How ignorant was I back then. Now, I can't help but admire the beauty of Abayas and can't wait to add more to my closet!!! For now, I only wear Abayas when I go to the mosque, but Inshallah I guess the more I get, the more I will start wearing them, plus the hubby loves it.... These are my Top choices from Artizara and the good thing is they're only $99 a piece!


#1 I love the color & cut on this one!


#2 What I like on this one is the color and the design with the sequins and thread work!!


#3 The linear mirror work is amazing on this one


#4 Not really an abaya, more like a dress. You can tell I love pink....


#5 For a more casual look....


So go ahead, cast your vote... Which ones do you like? #1, # 2, #3, #4, #5? Are you an Abaya girl? Where do you get your Abayas? Tell us more about your Abaya style!!!!
