Islam and fashion: stylish muslim women seek better options

Many Muslim women wish to incorporate fashion trends and "modernity" into their wardrobes while simultaneously adhering to Muslim tenets.

A feature of Muslim "fashion," if you will, that has become a point of heated contention is the hijab, the head scarf that has signified the Islamic value of modesty. To some the hijjab is viewed as a flagrant sign of the female subjugation that is at the heart of the Islam faith, while to others the the wearing of a hijab is comparable to a Christian's wearing a cross -- both are symbols of one's efforts to grow in his or her faith.Aesthetically speaking, a Muslim woman must work to evolve a style of her own that strikes a balance between her faith and her place in a society where fashion dominates.

Asra Nomani, author of "Standing Alone in Mecca: An American Woman's Struggle for the Soul of Islam," notes that getting dressed is "a really intentional, mindful event in our lives every day."Getting dressed becomes all that more of an arduous task when few retailers accommodate the growing western Muslim population. Many Muslim women have difficulty finding anything wearable in conventional stores. Some Muslim women are turning to increasingly popular online stores, such as artizara.com, for wearable alternatives.

Do religion and fashion need to be mutually exclusive? If Muslim women are making up a significant market, should popular stores such as H&M and Zara become especially attentive to the Muslim community? Would such attention from secular insitutions be inappropraite?

Chanel Metallic Nail Enamel

Metallic Nail Enamel

Base coat and metallic nail enamel
Silver: shimmering, powerful and metallic.
Holographic: kaleidoscopic, holographic, sparkling.
Use the base, then apply two thin coats of nail enamel.

This is brilliant!

Oh yes ladies its time for one of Chanel’s infamous limited edition nail colours. This one totally rocks and is the best ever, for once it really is worth the hype. Once on your nails, they turn into a full hologram. Yes a FULL one! This makes it unlike any other previous ‘holographic’ polish which would have only contained small particles that changed colour.
Coming in two parts, this product means your WHOLE nail changes colour as your hands and fingers move. The effect is utterly transfixing and safe to say never was being on the cutting edge of a beuaty trend so much fun.

Paris Hilton is Beautiful?

I like her and isn't she look beautiful?

Paris Hilton who is on probation since January after pleading no contest to driving offenses, has been ordered to appear on May 4 for a court hearing for violating the terms of that probation. City prosecutors might cancel Hilton’s probation because she violated its conditions and this could result in a 90 days sentence in jail.
This January, the hotel heiress pleaded no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving stemming from a Sept. 7 arrest in Hollywood. She was sentenced to 36 months of driving probation, alcohol education and a $1,500 fine. On Feb. 28, Hilton was ticketed for driving with a suspended license after she was seen speeding her car with off headlights.
Hilton, 26, was absent from Tuesday’s hearing before Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer and the hearing was entirely conducted by her attorney, Howard Weitzman, who said that the matter was close to being resolved.
Hilton’s spokesman, Elliot Mintz clarified that Paris was unaware of a suspended license. I don’t understand why all the stinking rich celebrities need to drive their car themselves. If I would have been this rich, I would have hired a chauffer to drive me around the city.

I wonder if this will be the new spring or summer hair trend for 2007. I will not be surprise to see other celebrities or maybe you is getting the same look; but frankly, I will be quite disappointed. Come on, be original and creative!
