Crocs for summer?

-

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh dears :) how's your day?


I did a home workout, later I cooked and then I have been relaxing. Ran some small errands too. A nice day, alhamdulillah. Now I wanted to take some time with you, dear readers, so I made a cuppa. I'm sitting in the tv light because hubby is sleeping and teenage ninja turtle is looking for a spot to take an evening nap. Good atmosphere and vibes can consist of so many things. :)

It's a bit too early to make a Fall fashion forecast, but some things have caught my eye. Those pieces are very wearable already now and naturally at the summertime too. Here's what I'm thinking:


1. Crocodile 

Crocodile in muted tones, especially chocolate browns, or then even lime greens and purples.. Most wearable as a slouchy tote bag or a pair of heeled boots. I saw one bag at a second hand shop and I regret not buying it :( Generally I feel like this trend is easy to find on second hand shops. 

 

2. Black and cream (and grey)

Black and white is a classic combination, but looks more new and softer with a natural cream color. It's also an easy base to apply some colour, like f.e. navy or bright red. Grey will be back again in knitwear and monochromatic looks too. 


3. Oversize shirts, blazers, maxi skirts

I put all these together because it's more of the vibe. Oversize shirts especially paired with a white maxi skirt will be trending this summer. Personally I think an oversize shirt is so nice item to have because its surprisingly versatile. You can use it as a shirt, or a light jacket at summer, you can do a French tuck or leave some buttons unbuttoned.. and it's easy to find right now in so many colors.

Blazers are still very trendy, and it's not anymore just trendy but a staple piece. I'm still looking for my own, I want to find it in burgundy, or maybe a patterned one. 

Maxi skirts, no need to explain, works always :) 


...


Tomorrow I will do some grocery shopping, and maybe a walk included. In sha Allah you also have had a good day, and if not, may Allah bless your tomorrow ♡




Until next time,


Aisha

Middle of everything

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah 🌻 how's everything? The pause has had an good impact. I've done mindfulness exercises every day, and focused a little more in this world and all that is going on currently. And right now I'm, once again, learning about the right balance.  ... As a muslim, I am not supposed to be attached to this world, dunya, because it is temporary. The temptations there are, are making it easy to let desires lead one's life. And lead it astray. To me, for example, it doesn't take much. If I slip on few steps, I will feel very quickly I have gone more distant from Allah (swt). That only brings me emptiness.  So an easy way might not be a good way. But balance is not an either - or. It's found in the middle. ... I love nature. Animals, plants, the sun, the moon. Wind, rain, snow. Ocean and forest. I dream of a simple life, and to feel rooted in the Earth. Because this world, as we know it, doesn't exist only in vain. It is filled with beauti...

Had a nice time

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh each and every one :) how has your weekend been? I'm happy, alhamdulillah, I've had a very nice weekend. Yesterday I was out at bit, had lovely time. Today I walked to a nearby shopping mall, to a halal market to be specific, and bought few things for today's dinner. I made a Finnish dish, meatballs with mashed potatoes and some boiled green beans. I'll share my meatball recipe below (sorry, no pictures.. but if you are used to cook, you will succeed with this recipe in sha Allah). ... Alhamdulillah. I'm listening an instrumental version of the Algerian song "Aicha" and enjoyed some green tea. I've upgraded my teas and occasional coffees by making them in a high, thick glass. Instant coffee looks like a latte, instantly, lol :) Tea also tastes more refreshing from a glass. Hmm. Some tea lingo, english to finnish: tea - tee green - vihreä black - musta maito - milk oat drink - kaurajuoma sugar - sokeri hone...

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh :) how are u doing? Alhamdulillah. I got to visit my friend last weekend, we just both had flu so we didn't really do much else than what we were capable of: drinking tea and coffee and scrolling through Tiktok. But alhamdulillah. It was nice to see her and it was nice to come back home to hubby and turtle too. I'm still a bit feverish but getting better in sha Allah.  ... Fast forward to evening, I made some pancakes with date syrup, yum :) a nice treat. I've been crying all day, not gonna tell the reason, I'm sorry, but just things seem frustrating sometimes. Pancakes were a good medicine for this and a hot shower later, and I will be new again in sha Allah. For some time again.. ... Suttis, the tortoise, was lucky today to receive a package my husband kindly went to pick for him. A sleeping hut! Well, basically he just checked it with a slight interest and layed down elsewhere (on the cold hard floor..) and I did what al...
