I was recently contacted by the lovely team at Kashkha and asked to style a couple of their pieces. As I was perusing their website looking for that perfect piece I stumbled across this mint stunner and knew it would look absolutely lovely.
This jalabiya features intricate embroidery at its v-neckline, block printing at the end of the skirt, drawstring waist for added definition, and a cute ruffle at the hem to add that extra girly flair.
The jersey hijab I paired with this jalabiya is also from Kashkha and is simply perfect. Made of very very good quality jersey, it is extra long so styling is easy and the edges are sewn so that you do not have to fold it in to shape it around your face.
Note: I did wear a slip underneath the jalabiya to preserve modesty.
Guess what you lucky people? There will be a mega sale from 26th of November to the 5th of December so make sure you go and check them out. You cannot go wrong with a feminine jalabiya as they will always remain on trend and elegant.

Former referee defends match officials over Griffiths strike
Former Grade One referee Kenny Clark says the match officials who failed to award a goal in Sunday's Edinburgh derby were following correct protocols.
Referee Euan Norris and his assistant Raymond Whyte did not see that Hibernian striker Leigh Griffiths's free-kick had crossed the goal-line.
But Clark maintains that Uefa and Scottish FA guidelines show that Norris and Whyte were perfectly placed.
Hibernian manager Pat Fenlon called the blunder in the 0-0 draw "embarrassing".
Kenny Clark Former Grade One referee
"I appreciate the ball was well across the line but to judge that with the naked eye, when you're running at full pelt and at an angle, is very difficult"
Griffiths's free-kick hit the underside of the bar and crossed the Hearts goal-line before coming back into play, but no goal was awarded.
Clark told BBC Radio Scotland: "Euan Norris had taken up a position, as guided by Uefa and the SFA, about 35 yards out in line with the wall in order that he could manage the wall.
"And he had Raymond Whyte lined up on the edge of the penalty area to stand in line with the second last defender to judge for offside infringements.
"That meant that, when Griffiths hit the shot, Raymond Whyte had to make his way as quickly as possible towards the goal and was running at full pelt when the ball came crashing down off the bar.
"I appreciate the ball was well across the line but to judge that with the naked eye, when you're running at full pelt and at an angle, is very difficult.
"I'm afraid it was impossible for the assistant to do that and I dare say he wasn't prepared to take a gamble when he wasn't sure."
Immediately after the match Fenlon said: "I've seen it a couple of times - it's that far over the line it's embarrassing.
"When you see how far it is over the line then it's very disappointing."
And the Irishman called for referees to be publicly accountable for decisions they make.
"Rather than me answering the question of whether it was a goal, it should be the person who's making the decision who's out here answering questions about it," he said.
"I'm not looking for an apology, but I think referees should be accountable.
"As a manager I'm accountable for results, referees should be accountable too.
"I'm frustrated for my players more than myself. It was going to take something special to win the game and that was something special from Leigh."
Fenlon insisted that the decision was one of several which had been wrongly made against his side this season.
"If you put that on top of the penalty we conceded late in the game against Dundee United that's two big decisions that's basically cost us a lot of points.
"A penalty last week [against Kilmarnock] that wasn't a penalty, a penalty at Dundee United that was outside the box and a goal that's well over the line today.
"It starts to eat away at you a little bit and you start to wonder why.
"The way the league is, it's so tight, that those four points - against Dundee United and today, where the decisions are blatantly wrong - they're a big four points in the context of where the league is."

FIFA dont have a clue really, look at the position of the 'goal line assistant' in Ch-Lge/Euro games.They place him at the same sideof the field as the main touchline assistant?? therefore at corners etc he blocks the view of the main assistant. He would be better placed at the opposite side from the main assistant, but then thats too logical. UEFA, their referee dept is run by? H Dallas.

winger, your so knowledgable, who employs them then? although retired now, I was and still hold my card as an SFA Referee. Check the SFA website. Referees in Scotland are employed to do that job by the SFA. When they went on strike the SFA brought in foreign refs to fulfill the fixture contract. If you dont see it you cant give it.

#265 Thundercat - "the ball speeds up after crashing off the bar..."
You can't rewrite the laws of physics just to support your spurious argument.
And as for Clark stating that the linesman couldn't take a gamble if he wasn't sure. I give you Dundee United v Hibernian. The linesman awarded a penalty for a "foul" which tv proves was outside the box. But he was sure?

Assad has used chemical weapons and laid waste to entire neighbourhoods and regions with barrel bombs. However, in the West, fears of what ISIS Islamists could achieve loom so large that Syria's dictator continues to be seen as a smaller part of the problem. By Bente SchellerMore
Above all, the West wants stability in Syria. Because he has managed to sit out everything that has happened in recent years, the Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad seems to offer this very stability. But accepting the kind of stability Assad offers would mean having to forget the atrocities committed by his regime. A commentary by Bente SchellerMore
Every year, groups of Shia men parade through the centre of Nabatiyeh, where Lebanon's major Ashura rituals take place. These rituals include the controversial bloodletting rite known as "tatbir". Although frowned upon by religious and political authorities, Shia communities still practice tatbir as a vital part of their communal act of mourning Imam Hussein, who was martyred at the pivotal Battle of Karbala in 680 AD.

Focus on solving Mindanao power crisis, Aquino told
MANILA, Philippines— Senatorial candidate Teddy Casiño on Saturday criticized President Benigno Aquino III's priorities, saying he should "quit campaigning" and focus instead on addressing the country's problems, especially the power supply crisis in Mindanao.
"He is President. He should serve as the nation's father but as the people can see, it seems he has different priorities," he said in a statement.
Casiño also criticized Mr. Aquino's statement that while he was not inclined to declare emergency powers in spite of the frequent and long brownouts in Mindanao, he would make sure there would be adequate power supply on Election Day.
"That's what's important to him – the elections. So he can reap the benefits of his going around for his party. I truly wish nothing happens on Election Day. That is why he should be putting all his efforts in solving the energy problems in Mindanao," Casiño said.
The three-term congressman for Bayan Muna partylist said he was in General Santos on Friday and experienced the blackout firsthand.
"The businessmen there, big or small, the employees, they all complain about the brownouts. They are losing their livelihood. It has a huge effect on the economy," he said.
Casiño said the government should adopt 13 recommendations made by the Mindanao Power Summit in April last year, including accelerating the construction of renewable energy power plants instead of coal plants and the creation of the Mindanao Power Corporation to manage and upgrade the existing government power plants there.
He said that given Mindanao's massive potential for renewable energy, it would be cheaper to develop this than rely on environmentally hazardous coal power plants.

'Democracy & the Power of the Individual' are ridiculous, far-fetched & totally untenable myths, that have been non-existent in Western Capitalistic societies - read: Autocratic Regimes - since their very inception.
These ideologies are just grand delusions, (opiates) foisted on the working masses by the powers-that-be, viz: the rich & the powerful, to create a sense of well-being among the downtrodden working classes, as this elite, self-serving club of monetary psychopaths, ammased their fortunes.
And when their nefarious ponzi schemes started to go wrong for them, as a consequence of the global meltdown, what happened?? They promptly contrived their own rescue by rewarding themselves with astronomical bail-outs, running in the hundreds of billions. All at the expense of the poor taxpayer - but of course!
And believe you me, this is but the beginning. More bail-outs by the number are coming to every conglomerate near you!
The rich & the powerful sure know how to take care of their own ilk. But who gives a damn for the innocent & suffering masses?? Not them filthy rich, for sure!!
Brings to mind the famous words of Wolfgang Goethe: "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free" & the equally profound words of John Adams: "There are two ways to enslave a nation, one by the sword, The other by DEBT".
Democracy is a funny thing. Every few years the rulers of those democratic countries that don't follow the 'vote early and vote often' principal of ballot rigging, submit themselves to selection by the millions of little people in their electorate. On Voting Day the rich man in his castle and the poor man at his gate all have the same power – one vote each – to throw out the rulers. It is for this day that the politicians are unable to follow their instincts. A powerful example was the decimation of the MPs following the exposure in 2009 of their misuse of expenses. MPs fought tooth and nail to keep their expensive practices a secret, the cynicism of which was finally made crystal clear when they published their redacted (blacked out) expense claims. The publication by the Daily Telegraph, a UK daily newspaper, of the unexpurgated claims revealed what the MPs had blacked out and revealed that they had no remorse beyond that of being found out. MPs had done nothing much against the letter of the law, but for fear of the electoral backlash the parties pushed the biggest causers of offence out.
Governments were placed in another particularly embarrassing position by the bailout of the banks. Not by the size of public debt, the unemployment resulting from the Credit Crisis, and the exposure of crass regulation. But by the fact that one of the consequences was governments became owners of a number of banks and building societies such as Northern Rock and the Royal Bank of Scotland in the UK.
MPs and ministers, to keep hold of the little guys' votes, love to play the role of the people's champion decrying any rip-off practice that came into public view with no carpet or other item of floor furnishing to quickly hide it under. If pushed into a corner, government would propose and sometimes pass harsh sounding legislation carefully aimed to miss the actual cause of the malpractice. However, when the Government took ownership of certain financial institutions it moved from the protector of the people to being the mugger. It became a Market Force, which could be wielded through these new possessions in the interests of their shareholders – who are ultimately the little guys of the electorate.
When in a position to stop the mugging, the Government chose not to.
One of the root causes of the Credit Crisis was bankers doing irresponsible things that would have been irrational even to themselves but for the bumper bonuses they gained. Why worry whether their bank survived next year, if the bonus they hoped to receive this year would keep them in clover for life?
The Government carefully and vociferously mis-aimed its policy at controlling bonuses rather than dealing with the root cause of the bumper bonuses - the extraordinary profitability of the banks' activities. By bringing down the margins charged by Northern Rock and Royal Bank of Scotland, market forces would have driven down the margins all around the financial services sector.
Having this power, coming with owning banks, is a potentially major embarrassment. The Government and Opposition are united in tip-toeing around this - after all, politicians only need the voters on Voting Day, all the other days their best mates are in the boardrooms. And they will be mightily relieved if they can divest themselves of this power before anyone notices.
I think your take on banking concentration is misplaced.If you consider the dispersal of marketable and easily liquifiable assets these are located in urban and urbanizing areas in any developed or developing countries.Given the competition for offering varying services to customers the bigger banks get the biggest chunk and naturally get comfortably and safely capitalized in normal circumstances.With growing diversity of assets and asset classes the bigger banks resorted to patronizing assets of doubtful quality(despite so called ratings)for longer term investment purposes.Mis-matches were rampant and the financial accounting standards got bent and twisted and there we are with the hats out for survival.Concentration can be overcome only if smaller banks receive attention and support.In the case of the US hundreds of banks have been folding up and the deposit insurance entity is getting hit in the belly.If focus shifted to saving smaller banks in the non-urban areas then credit flow would have slowly and surely increased to support the SME that contribute substantially to economic activities. I think rather than fretting and fuming over rescuing the Goliaths among banks more needs to be done to revive traditional banking to help the nuts and bolts of the economic machine.
