Durdle Door BH20 5PU - My Experience

So it all started when I decided to create an adventure for myself at the beautiful land of Durdle Door.. ok truth is, I got pushed to go and was excited for a challenge but what I did not like was the fact of waiting for 3 hours to reach my destination, it was bloody hot when my brother was driving down, I felt like flying out of the car window but obviously I couldn't and to top it all up, I decided to wear all black even when I got to Durdle Door I didn't realise I had to walk down the hill, up the hill and take the steps down to the sea, so I can finally sit. The worst part, I was scared to walk down the steps but I done it after a good half an hour. yes I'm kind of a chicken when it comes to heights etc I just couldn't do it, I honestly thought I was going to die but had energy to take some pictures and capture the beautiful view I had right in front of me.
The best experience I have to admit, but I don't think I can ever go again to Durdle Door after the experience I had during summer. If you live in England its worth the visit and the sweatiness. so make sure you go, the postcode is BH20 5PU xx
It was a hat sort of day, I didn't wear any makeup because I wanted my skin to breath so one way of looking sheike and classy was to simply add a beach hat to go with my black maxi dress. Looked great but it was to warm for the colour black, even though thats the colour I mostly have in my wardrobe.

Blacked Out - SZZ

..Blacked Out...

This article is a bit different from the ones I usually write. I wanted to go all simple but cool, maybe a bit street, maybe a bit nerdy, just the way 'Sadia' thinks - SZZ

Someone close to me, inspired me to capture such basic and simple images of myself, this is why Im dressed in all black. I have learnt to love myself for who I truly am and to keep on loving myself because of this person today I would of been someone Im not but thank god I have learnt to appreciate myself for my personality and appearance. Its all blacked out or simply boring...


I have a thing for trying new styles and new ways of putting garments together. You don't always have to look classy sometimes its interesting to amaze those who admire your dress sense with something wacky and crazy.

Ripped Jeans- ASOS
Jumper- ZARA
Necklace-MISS SELFRIDGES
Hat- NIKE
Boots- NEW LOOK
Watch- MICHAEL KORS


From geography to history to art to animation to drama to fashion.


Never let the fear of striking out stop you from playing the game.

Women Power ; I just had to speak the truth.

WOMEN POWER.


Its so important in life for men and women to respect one another and to understand each others opinion and thoughts. Just because your a different skin colour, different religion, from a closed minded or open minded family DOES NOT MEAN for a women to not be treated equally.  Age is just a number if your ten, if your twenty even if your late fifties, WOMEN should NOT be abused. We all have rights and we should be allowed to share with one another.

I believe in a lot of things but I don't believe in abuse, No women should get abused by a man because she was out with a few friends or she was making a valid point. No women should be scared of coming home or being scared of speaking the truth. This is what we lack as individuals, we are to afraid to do whats right that we just follow the crowd. Everyone should be treated equally and everybody should be treated right. 

I want the opposite sex to be friends, to be humble, to be modern and to do what they are best known for. If you have dreams. follow it no matter how much anger you have inside of you, no matter how much you want to cry. Please prove them wrong. I want all those women in the world that has be afraid of what others think or have been afraid of speaking up, should STOP and do whats right because life is to short to not enjoy. You need to be able to smile when you leave the house and smile when you walk in.

I am writing this article for the reason because, I have come across TOO many individuals that has either been attacked by a man on the street for no reason at all, all she was doing was walking home or maybe catching the bus. I have come across indiviuals that have a dream to go university and study but is to afraid of other peoples opinions that should not be VALID, I have come across individuals who are scared to come home because of what their parents are going to say and do. I have come across individuals who harm their body because their lonely, upset, scared and don't know where to turn. I have come across Individuals who are insecure and don't think their worth one penny,when your worth so much more. 

Religion always has a big say,especially if your family has moved to a country that doesn't follow their terms and regulations. Just because I am a specific religion and come from a specific background does not mean I cannot do what I think is best and does not mean that I cannot have the right to speak.

I want the worlds mentality to change, I want women to have power and have the right to do what they want. No one should be judged and no one should be bullied its disrespectful and just simply rude. We need the world to be a better place and for everyone to feel safe. I want to be able to see those girls or women who harm themselves to smile, I want to see that 34 year old go to university and study what she believes she's good at.




You don't know what that person has been through, never judge and always support other women around you. Make this country a stronger place and if we all as a women show are power we will never be taken advantage off.

If we all work as a team people in Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistain who are going through shootings everyday and don't have a blink of a sleep then us as women who grow are weaknesses into strengths will make this world a slightly more better place.  - SZZ

LOUIS VUITTON- Series 3 London

I went to the Louis Vuitton Exhibition where I got to explore and see the world of fashion in a different form. 


Fashion was shown in a short film


Details within Photography




I always like taking notes on what I see and how I could use it for my own advantage.


Even if you look at a different form of Media and Fashion that may not interest you personally, their will always be something that will be eye catching that you never thought would catch your eye.




Black Crystal Ring- Swarvoski




This was the most interesting part of the exhibition because I got to see a short film based on how garments was made

Wearing a Khaki Mid knitwear dress from Forever 21 with black tights and a red and silver statement necklace from Selfridges and to finish the look I decided to wear a black waist coat from Oasis.




Thank you to one of my best friends that I have been friends with over 10 years that came along to the exhibition as it was her first time attending one and not only supported me but also was so engaged and interested in experiencing a new field of skills and looking at the Fashion Industry in a different way.

Model as a Muslimah, let me take the risk.

So I asked 8 different people "what is the first thing or word you think of when a 'Muslim Girl' says the word modelling?"

'Naima' said: "I think empowering, Traditional Beauty"
'Zack' said: "Brave"
'Ibadat' said: "Normal, I don't really think any different if it was a Christian model or Muslim Model"
'Soraya' said: "Modelling to me means someone that knows the value of life therefore can portray it in there image. Its an Art"
'Lina' said: "As long as she is respectful,genuine and real she will have my support as one of my favorite Muslim models, I'll be proud of that"
'Sobhan' said:  "Its not Modest at all'
'Aseea' said: "Nothing"
'Shamim' said: "Change"

I was really Surprised that I got positive comments based on a Muslim becoming a model. This also gave me the chance to have a feel of negativity. This made me aware of Race, Culture, Religion and most importantly Identity.

NO ONE SHOULD TELL YOU WHO TO BE'


"LUXE"
The past few weeks of being nervous and insecure about my appearance has been a real struggle for me and for my health but then having the chance to be the spotlight of the day was INCREDIBLE.

I have always had passion for modelling as I started of as a Fashion Blogger but I never went through with the idea because of people disrespecting the idea of modelling as it was  claimed as 'Bad' and 'Inappropriate' but then I came to a point where I realised people's comments was Irrelevant.

Little girl in Pink.



Please take a seat and pose.


If you have a dream or an idea that you want to achieve but your afraid, then your not as passionate as you thought. 


Identity.


ASOS- Floral Trousers
Oasis- Black Chiffon Top
Oasis- Black Waist Coat
River Island- Maroon Loafers 
Oasis- Nude Necklace
House of Fraser- Hat


Im in love with exploring and trying new things. I wish I could see more Individuals around the globe work even harder than usual.

Its not wrong to live your dreams,become a well known Muslim Icon, you could change the way the public NOT only view you but view Muslims.


"I dont have to hide my failure, I don't have to hide my sin"


Faith.


If you have a clean heart and you do everything by the book, is it really that bad to take the next step to your dreams?


Its going to be a tough journey

Horror inspired makeup shoot

Horror inspired makeup shoot, focusing on the aesthetics of the horror genre in film and media in contrast to the way women are portrayed in line with the male gaze theory. I was delighted to model for this piece of work for a great and talented Photographer: SRIMAH KHAN

Necklace: Oasis
 Lipstick: Inglot

 I was used as a model to help capture the aspects of Photography and Styling using makeup.




 It was such a great opportunity for me to be included as a model for a project which could be related to style through the form of media.


I guess everyone has two different appearances.
Its amazing when you look in depth of a piece of work, that you automatically get a vibe of what its trying to communicate.
