New fall/winter items from HijabGirl!

I am absolutely in love with this:



I'm not usually a fan of sequins or beads, since they have an annoying tendency to fall off and leave dangling threads (or require you to handwash said article of clothing), but I think this is so cheerful and beautiful:



They've also been getting more wholesale/bulk hijabs, so you can get more at a lower cost. : ) If I were at home, I might go a wee hijab buying spree. : D That purple is just gorgeous...

I've found a very good book called "Daughters of Another Path" by Carol Anway. (You can get it from $0.01 on Amazon) It's about American women who embrace Islam, and their reasons for doing so. I'd recommend it to anyone who has recently converted, or is considering converting, and think/know that their families will have trouble with it. Very eye-opening.

One of my favorite websites to buy hijab and niqab on is www.hijabgirl.com. I especially love the two-piece 100% cotton al-Amira hijabs. They're very soft and comfy, and you can mix and match them. They wash well in the machine, too, although I wouldn't recommend tossing them in the dryer, unless you want them to shrink! They often a few niqabs, but not many. They only have 3 types of abayas, and I think they're kinda expensive. I stick to eBay for purchasing abayas.
