Product Reviews From Écharpe à la Mode
Écharpe à la Mode is an online scarf boutique recently launched by Ndaa Hassan. She describes herself as a “fashion fanatic.” Now before doing this review, I had seen her blog and her collection online, and I have say she has a very cute unique style. Her collection feature varies scarves, from solid colors to multi-colored scarves. So, if you are into unique style or just regular average style well she has it. Now, let’s review some of her scarves, the Elegance (Apricot), Ocean Blue, and Berry Purple.
The Package:
First, I must say her packaging is lovely. The scarves were wrapped in a tissue paper and she included a “Thank You” card and a business card. The overall packing was very neat that I almost didn’t want to touch so that it didn’t mess up lol. The items were sent on February 21st and I received them on February 23rd, is that a fast shipment or what?
Scarf One: Elegance (Apricot)
The first scarf is the Elegance
(Apricot); it’s made of chiffon material so it has a very smooth
texture. It is a delicate material so it must be hand washed. It’s a
perfect size, it measures around 71 inches x 15 inches, yet it is very
light so you won’t feel any weight on your head. Although, I always wear
a cap underneath my scarves you don’t wear one as this scarf is not
transparent. This scarf is ideal for spring. I love the print; it is so
fashion like with the lipsticks, hats, ribbons, etc. it’s very
interesting. Don’t you think?
Scarf Two: Ocean Blue
The second scarf is the ocean blue. Now, this one also has an interesting pattern, large and small red and blue anchors, which is very unique. It also has red and blue strips on the two sides. Ocean Blue is made of yarn and cotton and measures around 70 inches x 44 inches. Although, this is a bit of a large scarf, but you can fold it twice and it is VERY light and smooth, prefect for summer season. Even though its very light, you still won’t need a cap since it is not transparent. It also needs to be hand washed.
Scarf Three: Berry Purple
The third and final scarf is Berry Purple. Honestly, I’ve never seen this color before, but I love it and so does my husband. Of all three scarves, this is my favorite because it is made of viscose material. Viscose is used to make rayon, in other words it has a soft and smooth texture. It measures around 28 inches x 80 inches (including fringes at each end). This also has to be hand washed. I know from experience when I put one of favorite viscose scarves in the washer then dryer it came out as something else all messed up. Anyways, no washer or dryer, but hand washed. This scarf is ideal for winter and chilly seasons.
Overall:
I love her collection and I would definitely recommend Écharpe à la Mode. And honestly, you are getting more then what you pay for. Écharpe à la Mode takes the extra steps to nicely and neatly wrap their scarves and ship them ASAP unlike some other sellers the item is just in its original plastic bag. If you are interested in these scarves or others check out her online store.

Hijab Outfit #5
I love this purple maxi dress. It's very elegant. This outfit can be worn to a wedding, party, or even a nice date with hubby.
Hijab and Make up?
I have seen and heard of a lot
people questioning the purpose of the hijab when the person is wearing
make up. So I decided to blog about this issue. First, what is a hijab? A
hijab is not the cloth the Muslimah has on her head that is the scarf
nor is it the abaya, that's a dress. A hijab is clothing that covers the
body and the hair with the expectation of hands and face, this includes
the scarf and the dress it is not a specific clothing. Some scholars
argue that it is permissible to not cover the feet whereas some other
scholars say all body parts must be covered with the expectation of the
eyes. I believe at a minimal level the body and the hair should be
covered. The purpose of the hijab is to not attract attention especially
"lust" attention so it is best to avoid anything that attracts that
type of attention.
That is hijab.
As for make up, I, speaking for
myself, would really appreciate if a person who is making a judgement on
anything state some scholarly sources to back it up because I recently,
during the month of Ramadan, found out whether make up was permissible
or not. Furthermore, I will not promote anything haram in anyway even if
you notice pictures on my blog or facebook that
aren't hijabi, note that I'm not promoting them but rather the hijab
itself I will comment on each picture how to make it hijabi. So, here
is a fatwa by a scholar about make up and hijab. Comment and share.
Please read carefully.
Question: I wear proper hijab , so can i use makeup as no nonmehrum will b able to see me?
Answer: Praise be to Allaah. There
is nothing wrong with a woman using make-up to adorn herself for her
husband, or if she is not married, so long as she is wearing full hijaab
(i.e., niqaab).
