Meet Summer

It started with a passion for fashion and a desire to inspire.

I kind of stumbled into my path here. As a Pakistani immigrant, I understand the challenges of maintaining Islamic values while embracing a new culture. I didn’t always know where to shop in the US, how to style, or even how to layer my outfits. It’s been a wild ride, full of trial and error, and I’ve learned a ton along the way. But that’s what makes it so fun and relatable, right?

I KNOW FIRST HAND HOW IT FEELS

How can I honor my faith while embracing my passion for fashion and style?

Hi, I'm Summer!

Modest Fashionista. Free Product Junkie. Digital Art Creator.

I go by the pseudo-name Summer Lilly. Settled in the Big D, I wear many hats … Business Owner, Social Media Manager, Web Developer, Graphic Designer, and Retail Consultant part-time (the perks of a retail job don’t hurt!).

I’m blessed with an incredibly supportive husband and two amazing boys who bring so much joy and energy into my life. They are my greatest source of love and inspiration, and together we navigate the beautiful chaos of family life. Every day with them is an adventure, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

When I first arrived in Dallas, I struggled to find my place as a Muslim woman in Western society. Finding modest clothing was indeed a challenge, while also adjusting to a different fashion landscape. I have always loved fashion and style as long as I remember.

But… How could I honor my faith while embracing my passion for fashion and style?

This question led me to a journey of trying out various styles, keeping up with the latest trends, and discovering different makeup brands. Through all this exploration, I discovered a range of options, styles, and outfit formulas that perfectly match my modest yet stylish preferences, and I’d love to share them with y’all!

Our Muslim Home bridges the gap between traditional Islamic values and contemporary Western living, offering practical advice and inspiration for Muslim women seeking to express their faith through fashion, food, and lifestyle choices.
