My Take on the Marie Claire Look

This is a look known and loved and blogged about half a dozen times. Plain black abaya, black shayla, and punchy accessory (in this case a yellow handbag).
This is how a designed an old set for BM. Only in IRL, I like looser cut abayas (like overheads or butterflies) so this is how I wear it, with a sleeved butterfly abaya from http://www.sunnahstyle.com/product_info.php?pName=ruched-satin-sleeved-butterfly-abaya&cName=abayas-butterfly for $49.99 USD. I trust Sunnah Style. They are accurate, have good quality for their prices, and deliver ASAP. I have never been unhappy with anything I've got from them.

Thanks for recommending sunnah style. Its always hard to know if a place online is reputable unless others have recommended it first.

I love ur abaya. I would like to see it closer but I cant open the link or your picture. But it does look awfully nice (and the bag too). I have been hunting for a yellow bag for a long while now. I settled for cherry red (I know...a total opposite but I get compliments from total strangers who want to know where i got it).

I.ve been thinking about buying that butterfly abaya from sunnah style and now that you have given a good feedback on it I don't think i'll wait any longer =)

But one question how do you do your hair inside the shayla to make it look like that so that the shyla stays?

Zarine: Wa alaykom e salaam ramatullah wa barakto. First off, y hair is in a mid-high ponytail and folded into a bun. Then I am wearing a hijab cap so my hair doesn't come loose. Then I am wearing one light black tied behind my head with one end pinned to give my neck coverage. Then I am wearing a second shayla of the same fabric folded and draped in the Qatari style http://ilovehishmatheblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/how-to-wear-hijab-video-loose-qatari.html. I use three stick pins here to secure it against wind. If you own a plain black alamirah you can skip the first shayla but as I don't that's what I do.

Habibti: The abaya is Saudi crepe. The hijab is something lighter from KSA. SUnnah Style sells shaylas in the same fabric but mine are from KSA and way longer.
