Observe, mortals. These are the new limited edition sarees from Hermes. :| Yeah, no. These are not sarees. These are abominations. (And yes, this is filed under OMGah That Dress in a very bad sense of OMGah.)

Business Casual Superstar #486: Punjammies! Help Indian women rescued from forced prostitution!
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, Islam/Culture, tagged General on December 2, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Now, okay, I confess, this isn’t actually a business-casual find. In fact, you can’t even wear this on Casual Friday. You can basically only wear this in your bedroom, or around the house, or to your high school on “Pajama Day” during Homecoming week. (God, I loved Homecoming week.) That’s because Punjammies are pajamas. Jammies. [...]

I liked this. I liked the idea of it.
Business Casual Superstar #458: Haute Hijab!
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, Islam/Culture, tagged Modern Muslimah on September 16, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I’m very excited to share a little something about this great company. Haute Hijab is a Chicago-based fashion line for, you guessed it, Muslim women. Yay, hometown pride! Well, okay, Beantown is my hometown, but I’ve been a Chicago kid since 1996, so it counts, too. They offer scarves and wraps, as well as hijab-friendly [...]
Business Casual Superstar #457: Speak Out Against JCPenney and Forever21′s Effort to Profit Off the Perceived Intellectual Deficiency of Girls
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, Islam/Culture, Op-eds, tagged Pretty News on September 16, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
You’re probably heard by now of the stupid t-shirts being sold by stores like JCPenney and Forever21, like “I’m too pretty to do homework,” and “allergic to algebra.” As a girl who always did her homework on time and to the best of her ability (sometimes going embarrassingly overboard) and a girl whose love of [...]
Business Casual Superstar #446: Local One Day Deal: Save Big on Personalized Labels!
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, Islam/Culture, tagged Chicago Deals and Offers, One Day Deals on September 10, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I love labels, you guys. I don’t have a personalized label maker or personalized labels, but I do so love the spirit of those things. It’s a great way to say ‘b-tch, don’t even,’ when people pick up your stuff. No, that’s mean. I generally don’t care if people use my stuff. Unless they ruin [...]
There’s an Eid moon a-risin’…: The dispute over the moon sightings
Posted in Islam/Culture on August 30, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Eid Mubarak! For some, Eid ul Fitr, the first day of the Islamic lunar month of Shawwal which is meant to be a celebration of a month of fasting, was today. For some, like my family, Eid ul Fitr will be tomorrow (Wednesday). Saudi Arabia celebrated today, as did Qatar and Chile. Some in the [...]
The Boontown Hit and a Culture of Victimhood
Posted in Islam/Culture on August 19, 2011 | 2 Comments »
I wanted to blog about this. Yesterday, there was a story about a young Pakistani woman who was gunned down while on a post-Iftar walk in suburban Boontown with her husband and three year old son. Her husband was shot (non-fatal wound) and the child was unharmed. Today, we’re learning that the husband was arrested [...]
Ramadan Mubarak!
Posted in Coffee, Tea, Me, Islam/Culture on July 31, 2011 | 1 Comment »
If you’re looking at the worldwide trending topics on Twitter right now and you see that phrase and have no idea what it means, I have bad news for you: it’s Creeping Shariah in action. Nah, I’m kidding (FOX News disagrees). Ramadan Mubarak means “Ramadan Congrats,” basically. Muslims worldwide are using the phrase to wish [...]
One of the reasons I dislike weddings: Desi aunties are misogynistic jerks sometimes
Posted in Islam/Culture on May 30, 2011 | 9 Comments »
So my friend Maryam got married this weekend (her younger sister, Sarah, also got married this weekend!). I was at their mehndi, and at Maryam’s wedding (couldn’t stay for Sarah’s), and it was just lovely. Both girls are lovely inside and out, and they looked fabulous, and it was just a really nice wedding. God [...]
