Hijab Phenomenon

In 1990's, ramai termasuk Ara hanya mengenali tudung bawal. Pegi pasar pakai tudung bawal, pegi mall, pegi knduri kawen, keluar rumah untuk angkat jemuran, tudung bawallah yg menjadi pilihan. Masa di sekolah dulu, tudung bawal warna hitam dan putih memang hot. Lepas tu, pinkan dgn keronsang kecik, seminggu (atau sebulan) tak buang2. Lepas tu berlubang bahagian yg dipinkan bawah dagu tu kaaaann. Eww tapi itu kebenarannya kan kan. Haha!



Ramai jugak yang kurang selesa dengan tudung bawal sebab pemakaiannya yang suka kembung sana kembung sini. Dan sangat OH BOSAN dengan style yg sama. Pin kanan bahu, pin kiri bahu, siap. Dan kemudiannya Kak Wardina Safiyyah muncul dengan selendang dan tudung yg dipin ke belakang kepala. Termasuklah Ara yg masa tu baru cecah 16 tahun, sibuk bergaya macam Kak Wardina. Hew hew. Rasa macam segak amat. Haha.

Few years later, the phenomenon of Satin Shawl washed everything.

Satin Shawl

Untuk pengetahuan anda, fabrik satin ini sebenarnya datang dari China. Nama Satin itu sendiri sebenarnya datang daripada nama Pekan China yg bernama Zaitun. Ada lagi tak pekan nama Zaitun di China sekarang? Takkan jumpa. Sbb sekarang namanya ialah Quanzhou. Satin bukan sejenis saja tau. Satin terbahagi kepada beberapa jenis based on materialnya lah seperti duchess (cth: wedding dress), faconne/jacquard, slipper dan delustered satin.

Yuna dan Hana Tajima datang dengan pelbagai styles yg sangat stylo dan selesa. Kalau search di Youtube, berlambak hak (bahasa Kedah, meaning: terlalu banyak) video tutorial yg diupload oleh fashionista dan penjual2 tudung. Eh eh eh, takyah cari vid tutorial Ara di Youtube tau. Takda pun :D Alhamdulillah, fenomena dua selebriti inilah yang memberi income lebih kepada kami penjual tudung. Dan syukur pada Allah kerana ini menjadi titik tolak kepada ramai muslimah untuk menutup aurat.

Plain Bawal  - Dian Pelangi's style

Dan last year, Dian Pelangi muncul. Ke-famous-annya lebih terasa pada awal tahun ini. Ramai yg dah mula cari semula Tudung Bawal yg dah lama disimpan. Entah di gubuk mana pun dah tak ingat. Kecuali kalau anda seperti Mama saya. Selendang dan tudung neneknya pun Mama masih simpan. Katanya, fesyen itu takkan ke mana kerana ia akan berulang kembali seperti putaran roda. And she's true!

Plain Bawal by AraAmnan Boutique

Untuk menambahkan lagi kecantikan Tudung Bawal, tudung ini sekarang di-print dengan pelbagai corak. Corak yg stunning inilah yang jadi kegilaan ramai sekarang. Tambah2 lagi bila Datin Norjuma established her boutique, AIDIJUMA.

Leopard Bawal by AraAmnan Boutique

Yang pasti, anda juga boleh dapatkan tudung bawal ini dengan harga RM10 sahaja di AraAmnan Boutique. Cuma RM10, tak lebih :) Tak tahu mcm mana nak pakai cara Dian Pelangi? Kalau malas nak Google, malam nanti Ara ajarkan ye. Tunggu di AraAmnan Boutique. Oh, Bawal Leopard, Polkadot dan Safina dah tinggal few saja lagi. InsyaALLAH koleksi terbaru akan Ara publish di page butik pada esok malam.

Ingat cantik2 sekalian. 

Mahal itu tak penting. 

Yang utama, 

tutuplah aurat,

dgn sempurna.

Pesanan utk diri sendiri dan yg lain. 

Semoga kita menjadi yg terbaik di mata Allah S.W.T.

Assalamualaikum semua.
Alhamdulillah AraAmnan Boutique dh operating tanpa sekat2 lg for a month. Dan dh banyak kali Ara amek new stocks dr aunty supplier yg cantek tu. Having a beautiful niece as assistant mmg menguntungkan. Wee~ Tambah2 lagi bila her assistant sgt friendly. Hampir tiap Friday Ara akan jumpa her assistant - Afifah. Itu takpa! Part yg paling Ara takjub bila dealing wif 11 years-old-assistant. Muda habaq mai!!! She's cute sgt! Dan pandai pujuk Ara amek stock lain. Masa tu dis aunty has to attend a meeting. Mula tu Ara rasa totally weird. Mcm mana Ara nk deal biz dgn budak kecik nih! But u noe what, dia sgt peramah, matured and berpandangan jauh. Communication - tiptop!



January 2011 stocks:

Gypsy & Cotton Beads Shawl

Sisik Shawl

Crumple & Stripe Shawl

Crumple & polka Dot Shawl

Ppl asked me, kenapa Ara amek sikit2 sgt. Modal. Last year, profit gained from dis boutique Ara gunakan utk support my student's life (ececece padahal buang duit shopping.shhh!! :p). Since now I'm staying wif my family, so money is not a big problem sgt lah. Going to work, then balik rumah mkn masakan mama. Dan a little bit busy being a final-year-student. Jd masa utk bershopping bersuka ria tu terhad amat! Tp utk February 2011 nie InsyaAllah Ara akan perbanyakkan items dlm satu2 stock.



Sejak Ara start dis biz 7 months ago, ramai kenalan yg add. Got new friends. Ada yg baik sgt dgn Ara sampai skrg, ada yg selalu beli shawl dr Ara... Thanx a lot frenz! W/pn dis butik bukan gah mcm Najah Butik, tp alhamdulillah rezeki sentiasa ada di mana2 kan :)



And finally, Ara create page for AraAmnan Boutique supaya kwn2 semua lbh senang nk deal kn. Mmg betul cakap Salha, nampak serabut sikit bila campur-adukkan album biz ngn album personal. Thanx Afham, thanx Salha ^^

And thanx for joining AraAmnan Boutique :))

Dat was one of the best nite I ever had. Tengss soooo much to Hani Liyana Rousli.

Bebeh, I curik gambar from profile blog. Maap, partner! :p

Never come into my mind dat she'll offer me to be her partner one day. Yeaah she has told me once. But I thought she was juz joking. But it's not. It's real. Still remember her words on dat amazing nite during our conversation:

"Dis is a serious business, Ara"

Senyum sampai telinga haaa..nGee~

I sgt appreciate dat offer, Hani. I'll do my best for my AraAmnan BOUTIQUE & our (read: your :p ) Love.To.Have.It.

Cantek2 habaq mai....!!! :))

Ramadhan - Without my Nasheila :(

This could be the most exciting and memorable Ramadhan for me. Thanks Allah for yesterday. Oke shhh!! Tak bole bagitau kenapa. Thee~

Tengah window shopping semalam pn still ada customer nak order. TQVM Idayu! 

Tengss Fara and Syuk jugak! ;))

Then fiikiran mula la merewang smpai Masjid India haa. Sbb I ingat I nk restock shawls. Tapi kena abeskan Batch IV nie dulu kan kan. Ladies, I've offered you a reasonable discout prices. Instead of selling RM12 per piece, I juz  sell SAPLOH HENGGET. No markup price for transportation cost. Oho~

I suka surprise kan my mom babah and adik2. Tiba2 jerk ketok2 pintu, tadaaaa~!! Mama, I'm home...!! Ngee~Sampai kat Kediaman Teratai pun dah almost 7 pm. Oh, seronok sgt naek keta Ijau ke Surau badar. Dat car sebenarnya dah lama haa terperuk kt bawah umah. Tapi selalu jerk teringat kt Sis Sheila. 

Kakak, I teringat kenangan kita!Sahur tadi pun I teringat milo yg kaka buat utk adik. Tadi I bangun awal tlg mama. I rindukan u :(

Pink Pink Pink!!

PINK PINK PINK!!! nGee :D

My eyes were sparkling when looking at dat pink comforter. No more Ringgit in my purse, but I still bought it. Guna duit dari AraAmnan BOUTIQUE!! Ngahaha, Dasat uh gila pink nih. Hoh XP

Last nite I da amek stock baru. Still from d same material - jojet. 

And I saja2 jerk amek stock net shawls beberapa helai sbb ramai yg asek tanya tu. I da tak larat semalam, so I juz snap pics dat shawl without wearing them. Haduuuu~ 4 hours after I upload dat pics, there was still no customer. Not even one comment on any of those pics. Hati dh rasa, haduuu what's wrong bebeh. 

Then, Amnan asked me to wear them. Mcm yg I buat for Batch I and III. Wah!! Lepas tu mmg ramai yg tego. And dh ada customer pn. Mmg nmpk laen eh? Hee~ Tq taw my bff Nini cokelat celup. Syg u!! :p

Yg paling best bila two of my customers have bought shawls from my boutique for their ladies. Sweet kan.

Mlm nie nk tido ngn comforter pink ni lagik!!! Weehuuu :))

Not Regret Spending Too Much

Morning everyone! Erghh dah almost 11 am pn. Wee =D


Yaay hari nie I bole la guling2 atas katil lama ckt kn. Friday maa!!! Ahha. Nope. Actually sebab semalam most of my shawls were bought by residents of Mahsuri College. Like it very much. So now cuma tinggal 4 pieces left. Berkobar2 lagi haa nk restock new shawls. And no need to push my marketing sgt >.<


My aim skrg is find d very good, nearest supplier. Money is my priority now, betoi habaq mai nie. Ahha. There are water&electrical bills to be paid, broadband bill, celcom bill, sewa umah and dont be forgotten duit kuih raya yg I bought from Atiqah Halim. Hey tapi tapi kan, I'm not regret spending too much on my vacation trip last month. It was unforgettable moment, I bet you.

I think I dh jumpa d supplier, d nearest one. He opens his physical shop at Giant Bukhari. Walaweh, juz 10 minutes from my house, or maybe less if you are not stuck at two traffic lights before dat place. I found dis man at Pasar Malam UiTM.


But tau2 lah kan, I nie high taste *wink*

Feel Free To Untagged Yourself

Evening semua!
Haish, suppose to do introduction part of In Vitro Fertilization. Tapi as usual sangatlah malas nak berpikiau!! Well, I guess banyak lagi assignment are waiting to be completed. Most of them kena submit before raya.

Oke sekarang saya rasa mcm "urrrrrrghhhhh'!!

Ngahaha statement over kau mok! Tipoo uh. Tiada apa2 perasaan =l

Oh, I da anta parcel utk Encik Najmuddin. I sgt suka! Dat purple stripes shawl with 3 tones inner syria mmg dh buat Sha excited!

Balut cantik2 dgn ketas love2 lagi tuh! Dasat kau, ara. Jaga ati customer.


Well, I guess I dh start busy since last nite. Belom pn abes upload pic baru POLKA DOT PASHMINA & JOJET SHAWLS, Azufasya, one of my diploma frens dh tak sabar2 lagi nk order. Hey, unexpected taw yg u sekarang like to wear shawls!!!

Dulu kan, before I open my online AraAmnan BOUTIQUE, I selalu remove "iklan2" shawl kt my wall fb. But now I've realized what their intention is. So, I pun follow lah dat way. Tapi tadi I ada terbaca status butik nih. Dia tak suka uh butik laen tagged dia kn. Aduh, I dh rasa mcm terkena batang idung sendiri. Oh i'm sorry klu itu i   :( 

I suka yg nih!!! :p

Tapi, butik len asek tagged me jerk. I tak kesah lah. Sama2 cari makan what..kan kan?

So, feel free to untagged urself ya~

:p

I Love AraAmnan BOUTIQUE

The clock shows 1.05 pm. I'm still on my bed, covered with my red blanket.


It's SATURDAY! Rest day for me ^^,

Urghh but not much lah. Since AraAmnan BOUTIQUE starts its operation, i'm always busy. After back from classes, usually I terus mengadap dis black compaq lappy dan terus bukak fb! nGee~ When there's customer, the feeling is so amazing. Not that I'm thinking bout my profit, but the passion towards this business has exciting me. xD

Oh I dh berjanji dgn few of customers utk restock pashmina shawls. Unluckily, dat one dh xda stock lg.

Thanx Amnan for helping me seeking those items. Tp kan, tonite he'll take d new stock. Hoping that d new shawls are more beautiful, attractive and favorable :))

Tiba2 I teringat one of my item at my boutique - dis red cotton shawl.

Teringin! Haish!!! Dis one cantik sgt. Oke I admit yg  red and rose are my colours! :p

Need to stop here. Got to meet my customer :)

Our AraAmnan BOUTIQUE ;))

Ramai yg bertanya, "where's your boutique, ara?". Ahha! Sgt excited mcm nk lompat tinggi2 haa bila sy berjaya meng'ada'kan dis butik. But ya..it juz an ONLINE BOUTIQUE. nGee =D

Selling shawls thru online is not my first business yg i involve. During Sem 4 (or 3??) in UiTM, I was selling ns lmk oke. Hey the profit was almost RM40 per nite. Oke kn? Hee~ I miss dat moment. Moment masa I tgh lap2 peluh after running dari bilik ke bilik. There's 4 blocks in Mahsuri College plus 2 blocks in Masria. Bayangkan I ketok2 pintu tiap2 bilik. Oke tanak imagine. Letey!!! Starting at 8pm every night, sales usually abes around 12 am.Huh mmg penat, tp berbaloi bila dpt duit manyakss sekali.

:))

I penah try jual Zulian after SPM. Tlg my sis in law. Tp masa tu tak reti nk bt marketing lg. Haha.Lagipun malas nk jual emas celup tuh! Hee~

So far, my shawls dh byk sold out.

Tinggal few lagik.

Tp tak dapat sambutan. Adoii. I dh tatau nk buat macam mana. Promotion? I dh buat. Tp sale tak jalan pn. Thanks to Amnan.

He always support me :)

Sis Masita gave a bundle of batik terengganu, batik ratna, songket etc to sell at AraAmnan BOUTIQUE.

All items are still available. Whoever interested of, see my fb. Murah2 weh! ;))
