EID MUBARAKKKK!!

HAPPY EID MUBARAK GUYS <3 (Not My Picture)

Lets begin by spreading the love and wishing you all a very Happy Eid Mubarak! <3
Well Eid has most likely come and gone by the time you read this post! So I hope you all had an amazing happy joyful day with your family and loved ones. I love getting together with my family and just celebrating together. The atmosphere and vibes are just on a different level<3

Obviously, we all prepare for the coming of Eid by getting beautiful dresses, baking things, getting gifts for one another & loads more.

Below I will show you guys some of the things that I baked with my sister!

Custard Biscuits

Chocolate Cupcakes

Lamingtons <3

Choc Chip & Cherry Biscuits

Double Sided Chocolate Finger Biscuits

That is just some of the biscuits we made!

I will also show you a sneak peak of my outfit I wore on Eid. I did post a picture on Instagram but in case you didn’t see it I will add it below & I will also show you what I wore on the second day. The second day we mostly just tend to go down relatives houses and stuff. I will be doing a separate post on my Eid OOTD. I was originally meant to be wearing an Asian/Indian dress for Eid but I couldn’t find a tailor to sew it in time so I had to make changes very quickly.

Eid Outfit Of The Day! (OOTD)

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 13^th or 14^th 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.

Bangles!!

Gorgeous hand chain!
(Sorry for the harsh shadows! Taken in bad lighting!)

I love this hand chain and the pendant on here is soo pretty <3 There’s just something about it that I love! Oh and it went with my Kaftan so well! =D It’s like they were made to compliment each other! This stunning hand chain is also from Simply Hayaa! Definitely check them out because they are awesome and can spice up any plain outfit!

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!

Sequined gold bag!

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

Design of the heels!

So there you have it! That’s my outfit for Eid! =D

Family & Loved Ones<3

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.

Chocolaty Eid cake topped with stars!

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!

Back design of the cake!

If your reading this blog post Umaymah then can I just say you are an amazing baker & I loved the cake :* <3 Oh and make sure you keep baking these delicious scrumptious cakes that you make :D

She also has a Instagram page which you can follow her on @umaymahskitchenbakery so make sure you go follow her on that! Also if you haven't already followed me yet come follow me too @alittlebloglife to stay updated on my posts and just bits of my life in pictures :')

Anyway, that's all from me for now guys! I hope you guys enjoyed my OOTD post! =D Let me know in the comments below if you enjoy these kind of posts so I can do more if you want! Also let me know how your Eid went if you celebrate it!

Until next time...

Toodles! <3

Eid Preparation!

Eid Preparation!

As we all know Eid is approaching and is round the corner! What can I say? Ramadhaan has come and gone so quick!! The most blessed month of the year is already almost over! Inshallah all our prayers and dua’s during this month are accepted. Also loads of people have been doing charity events and other activities in order to raise money for those in Palestine and other places around the world who are less fortunate then us. Inshallah they are also rewarded for their hard work and efforts!

The last week of Ramadhaan is always very hectic! Preparing for Eid is always so exciting! From going shopping to buy our outfits for this special day to buying gifts for our family and loved ones! Oh and of course making some delicious yummy biscuits and cakes in time for Eid!

I've been doing a lot of last minute shopping and preparation! In the second week of Ramadhaan I was very busy doing lots of different things so when it came to the last and final week I just wanted to relax! Little did I realise that I needed to still do loads of things as well as prepare and get my stuff for Eid!! Luckily I did get my act together and finally decided to go out on a search for a nice dress! I wasn’t really feeling the Indian look this year so I looked online for some nice English dresses. It took a LOONG time but in the end I did end up buying a plain sort of dress but it wasn’t an English dress! (So I guess I will still be keeping it traditional this year :P) I just hope I can style it nicely on the actual day! Now that my dress is finally sorted it’s always tough to go accessory hunting! Making sure that you find the exact shade of bangles or jewellery to go with your lovely dress! After all everyone wants to make sure they have everything on point for this special joyful occasion! Am not going for too much jewellery this year but I have kind of got my stuff sorted! Just a few last minute bits and bobs that I need to sort out still including looking for a matching scarf! As for my shoes/heels I already have them sorted which is always helpful! BUT Walking in heels are a killer!! I’ll enjoy walking in them for about 5-10 minutes and then I’ll just complain the rest of the time and wish I wore some flats! Who else feels the same?! But I won’t be walking around in heels much so hopefully it’s all going to be okay! As you can tell I’ve got nearly everything for my Eid outfit sorted. Well... At least I THINK so anyway! Oh and for presents… well I have 3 older amazingly awesome sisters who are already doing the present shopping! ;O :D (If any of my sisters are reading this then I hope you've got me a nice prezzie ;D)

Beautiful Ramadhaan/Eid Lights!

Moving on to Baking Biscuits and cakes!! I haven’t actually started making much biscuits yet! Hopefully I am planning to start making some from today! (Maybe after I finish doing this blog post!) Although am not so sure what I am planning on making so I’ll have to think about that one & also check that I have all the ingredients too!! My lovely mum has already started making some Indian kind of biscuits for Eid =D So pretty much as you can tell I still need to do a lot of baking which I am super excited to do! Let’s just hope all the things I make come out nice! (Inshaallah)

Yummy Cupcakes!

OMG These look AMAZING! Wish I could do that!
Image also from Pinterest!

So Yeah, that’s all the things that I can think of for my Eid prep at the minute! I haven’t put any of my own pictures in to this blog post just because I don’t want to show any pictures of anything just yet! I hope you enjoyed another one of my more talkative sort of/ish blogs! (= I hope all of your last few days of Ramadhaan have been going well! Oh and what have you guys been doing for your Eid prep? Do let me know in the comments section because as you know I love to know what you guys are up to as well!

Anyways, I’ll talk you lovelies soon!

Take Care!

Much Love
