Hello Girlies! The
last time I posted it was Ramadhaan and now the blessed month has passed by and
Eid is also gone! But a Belated Eid Mubarak to you all! I hope you all had
a great time! I definitely did as I spent it with the ones I love most… My Family
<3
Today’s post is
actually Eid related. I thought I would upload an Eid OOTD post as I haven’t
done any fashion related posts yet and also it was requested so obviously I
will start doing OOTD Posts as some of you lovely readers suggested it: D I
will also show you some of the biscuits and cakes that I made seeing as I didn't show you much in my last blog post!
Okay so Here is my
Eid Outfit!
Close Up Detailing |
Butterfly Sleeved Kaftan |
I decided to wear something
quite simple because I didn't want to wear a full on Indian sort of dress so I
thought a kaftan would be a perfect alternative & I've been loving these types of kaftans lately! I just paired it with some basic black leggings from Primark
underneath! If your wondering where this beautiful Kaftan is from its from
Simply Hayaa! I will link the website below! You can also find them on
Instagram @SimplyHayaa.

My Complete Eid Outfit |
To go with my
dress I had to find a nice hijab! I wore a gorgeous gold hijab with specks of
shimmer in it. It went very well with the embroidery and design on my kaftan. My hijab was actually purchased from a shop near
to where I live called 'Ivy'. They sell tons of amazing hijabs in so many
different colours and styles! I brought this last year but am sure they should
still have similar designs there if you still wanted to purchase one like this.
Beautiful gold coloured Hijab/Scarf. |
My Bangles were
actually a gift for my 13th or 14th birthday! Although I
think it was originally from New Look. I like how they are very innovative yet
very fashionable. I wasn't planning to
wear these with my outfit but my sister accidentally took my hand piece home so I couldn't wear it but later when she came down I did swap it and wear the hand chain.

Gorgeous hand chain! (Sorry for the harsh shadows! Taken in bad lighting!) |
Up close of the hand chain. In love with it! <3 |
My clutch (sort
of) bag is from Ebay or Amazon! One of the two :P I don’t know how much it was for and all the details
exactly but I like the fact that it’s a nice and reasonable size so it can hold
a good amount of things in there! It is designed with sequins all over and just
adds that extra touch of sparkle!

Last but not least
my shoes! Now if you read my last post you would have seen that I hate
wearing heels for a long time! I didn't really go out for a long time so it was
okay. However, I actually opted for some
flats when I did go out! They were just some plain cream coloured flats with a cute bow on them from Primark! I didn't take a picture of them so i wont show you how they looked! However, the
heels that I had planned to wear were some gold sparkly kitten heels. I picked
these because I think that they went with the bag very well! I did take a picture of them for you though :D
So there you have
it! That’s my outfit for Eid! =D
Moving on to some of the Eid biscuits and
cakes I was going to show you guys! I didn't actually bake much things although
I remember I was in the kitchen for what felt like ages baking!!
I made this
delicious chocolaty cake which turned out pretty nice! Me and my sister were
supposed to design it with coloured icing but we were too tired so I designed
it with some cute chocolate stars which still look great =D I also made a plain
cake but I didn't really take a separate picture of that.

My sister made
some nozzle biscuits and some moon shape biscuits which were both very tasty and yummy <3
Nozzle biscuits drizzled with chocolate! |
Sugared moon shaped biscuits. |
Also my nieces and
nephews came down and my lovely awesome niece made an amazing cake which she
brought all the way to Leicester!
