FAVORITE FIND: Ark & Co Tie Neck Maxi Dress

Here's another Favorite Find I couldn't wait to post.

This Ark & Co Tie Neck maxi dress features a fully lined, banded waist skirt. With a cut that elongates the shoulders, the dress can be worn with a flowing sleeves under it (see example here) or a traditional long cardigan. I recommend pairing it with bright colors for some extra pizazz (almost any color would work - I'm imagining something aqua - then again, I really want to go to the beach...).

For only $79 with free shipping and 7% back when you shop through Ebates (use my link referral here to help me get credit!), this dress will become your Favorite Find as well.

Reader Request: Eid Evening Gowns

A few years back, a friend invited me to an iftar night out - essentially, grabbing iftar at a halal-friendly eatery (in this case, the wonderfully satisfying Burger 7 where I had not one but TWO burgers to break my fast).  Conversation got around to what and where we're finding Eid clothes.  I generally look for Pakistani clothes, which either my mom or me will find at the 11th hour, but I embrace anyone who wears American clothes to celebrate - because being American is part of our identity, in addition to any ethnic or other cultural practices we have.

Back to clothes...Yasmin is looking for a sleeved evening gown, and was willing to put down up to $150 for a nice gown for Eid.  She wears hijab and prefered not to have to jerry rig any gown to be modest, but will do it if needed.  Additionally, she stated she's looking for more "muted" colors, but you guys know me - I live for sequins and embellishments.

A long-sleeved gown in the summer months can be tough, but I put together a few to get Eid clothes shopping kicked off. It's no DKNY Ramadan Capsule Collection, but these might be slightly more Eidee-friendly. Click on the images below to be taken to the retailer!

**Disclaimer: Sizes and stock are limited AND some of these may need to be more modestified than others for Eid.**
1) Laundry by Shelli Segal: $53.99 // 2) House of Fraser Jersey Maxi: $54 // 3) Laundry by Shelli Segal Lace Floral Gown $108 

1) BCBGMaxazria Long-Sleeve Meredith Gown: $134 // 2) Twelfth Streeth by Cynthia Vincent: $274 // 3) Eliza J Portrait Collar 3/4 Sleeves: $194

And a few others that wouldn't fit into the layouts. Click on the images to be taken to the retailer!

[Under $50] 20-hour 25% off sale at Piperlime!

I got an email earlier tonight about a 20-hour 25% off sale at Piperlime! Considering that I was wavering between ordering a Gap denim jacket (I didn't want to pay for shipping!), getting this email from Piperlime was a knick-of-time marketing ploy, as there is a great pleated skirt I think the jacket would work with. Ramadan is coming - time to bust out those iftar and taraweeh outfits!

I'll be posting continual updates over the next hour or two - check out my favorite finds!

Love this Elan Metallic Pullover! It would be great for a holiday party (Ramadan does require festive wear!)

It was these skirts that spurred my visit to Piperlime's site.


Also available in light blue, purple, and black - all for under $20!

Tinley Road Notch Neck dress - this would be a great look over black skinny pants!


Slouchy pants are effortlessly cool and casually chic. The nice thing about them is because they're not form fitting, you can wear them with a shorter top (as opposed to tunic length) that's equally drapey.


Looking for a top to pair with all those pants? Check this one out! Lace-hemmed and a boxy, loose feel - perfect to go along with your slouchy pants!



Michael Stars - be still my heart! Michael Stars has the best quality jersey out there! It's soft without getting pill-y, stretchy with some heft, and does not lose its stretch.


Another comfy-yet-breezy dress-to-top item from LA Made.


Love the detail of the lattice along the neckline and shoulders in this Sabine lattice-sleeve dress (can be worn as a tunic top!)


And in case you want it simply as a top, the Sabine Lace Boho top!



If you look through the blog, you'll see the many posts I did on this Hive and Honey maxi dress's predecessor, the Hive and Honey maxi chevron skirt. I LOVE that skirt (seen here when in Morocco!) and am sure that anyone would love this maxi dress. Throw on a chambray button down over it, tie it at the waist, and you're instantly bohemian chic.


Love this slouchy striped top. Reminds me of something Cameron Diaz or would wear while traveling.
