Her mission? To be "a Hijabi's guide to staying fabulous in Southern California." Among her posts are about interesting fashion trends popping up throughout SoCal, like ruffled cropped cardigans (which she loves) or the questionable fur hijab. She even includes shopping tips for the bargain shopper.
Some of the content even begins to boarder on politics, with Shepard Fairey prints of women in burkas carry guns with flowers and one Palestinian woman peeking through a wall.
Anyway you look at it, the anonymous poster has created a forum for discussing images of Muslim women in a new context, and has made a happy home for those women who want to look good while staying true to their faith.
