Style Sunday: Cape Town
 |
| Cape Malay Quarter by Vincent Mounier |
I haven't done a Style Sunday post in aaaages. I can assure you that you aren't missing out on too much. I'm quite the simpleton these days. By the way, no, I'm not in Cape Town, though I really wish I were because it's in my list of top 10 cities to visit. It's just that this outfit I wore yesterday is a fusion of Malay and African influences. The maxi dress is from FashionValet.net and it's by Pink Jambu, a Malaysian brand which incorporates batik into its designs, and the hijab I donned looks like an African turban except I've styled it in such a way so the hijab would provide more coverage. The combination of the two cultures reminded me of Cape Town because of the famous Cape Town Malay quarters called Bo-Kaap.
Apart from the cutting and colour, what I like most about this dress is the quality of the cotton material.

Many of you have asked me if FashionValet ships internationally and the answer is a big fat YES! So it's free shipping around Malaysia, just in case you didn't know already. For South East Asian countries, it's free for purchases above RM 500 or a flat rate of RM 30 for purchases less than RM 500. Good news for Australians - there's a flat rate of RM 50 for all deliveries towards your way! That's less than AUD $20. More shipping info available here, alright? For any other countries, just drop the friendly and efficient FV team an e-mail at info@fashionvalet.net and they'd be more than happy to help.
Hope you guys had a great weekend!

The BBC's Kate McGeown says there is optimism that a framework peace agreement between the Philippine government and the country's largest Muslim rebel group could end a 40-year conflict that has cost an estimated 120,000 lives.
The deal follows long negotiations between President Benigno Aquino's government and and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).
It provides for a new autonomous region in the south, where Muslims are a majority in a mainly Catholic country.
The agreement is expected to be signed formally on 15 October in the Philippine capital, Manila.

Secondly, do let me know when you visit Cape Town as we would love to host you inshaAllah. First on the agenda would be to take you to my cousins in Bokaap so you can take pics outside their homes (1st house on the left and the orange one next to the masjid). Love this post ♥♥
