Hijab House Style Spree

Well, the Australian Hijab House had a Style Spree event at its Merrylands branch with a whopping 25% off all items today.

I heard about the event on Facebook just a couple days ago, and I live only one street up from the shopping centre (I know! Very very convenient!!!), so I had to go.

They had announced that there would be styling sessions held with one of their stylists. Since I live SO close, I HAD to be late. :) You know how it works, the closer you are, the later you always end up going. :)

By the time I got there (1pm), there were only a couple customers, a stylist going through some styling elements with one customer, a male who I believe is (one of?) the owner(s) of Hijab House, and a couple of the girls who work there. I was actually quite suprised, because on the way up to the centre I was thinking, "will I be able to get in", because it is a small sized store, and we all know Muslim women! Especially if they have children with them. Oh my!

Well yeah, it didn't turn out to be as I imagined, because the crowd had died by the time I got there. :) The majority were early birds. So it was better that I got there later in the day aye?! :)

Anyhow, I overheard two customers talking to the person who I assumed to be the owner. They were saying how Hijab House should bring in more brown hues. I thought to myself: NO WAY! I already like the way they are going with colour, if anything, they need to add more colours! More colours that we can easily match with outfits we purchase from other non-hijab stores. They need to keep up with the trend colours. This is my personal opinion. Hijab House already has certain brown hues available at all seasons, there is no need to add more to that while the variety could be enriched. What say you?

For example, I want some greens and oranges in my wardrobe this summer. Where on earth am I going to find similar hues for hijab??? I probably should get back into business fast, because I am starting to run out of hijabs myself. :)

Anyways, I purchased 2 shawl hijabs I had been eyeing for a while. They were reduced to $5 each. I was also given a gift bag with a pair of sleeves and another hijab, compliments of the Hijab House Style Spree. Thank you Hijab House. :)

Oh, and hubby took all the cash from me this morning. Apparently he needed cash! So he gave me his credit card. But guess what?! I try to make a payment and it wont go through. I went to the ATM, and it says card cannot be accepted. He stuffed the chip and magnetic strip, so the machines wont read it. Friggen! I was soooooooooooooo pissed off. So I paid with the only cash I had on me. Lucky for me I refused to give him that $10. Ripped off by the hubster. LOL

Oh, you wanna see my haul? Here it is:

The cute little HH bags. :) Adorable, are they not? :)

Lately I've been craving some mustard colour in my wardrobe. Now I have mustard sleeves thanks to HH gift bag. :) I'm on the hunt for a mustard coloured hijab. Once I find that, I'll be happy. :) The pink hijab to the left is also from the gift bag. The other two are my spankin' new bargain shawls.

All ready for summer. Yuppi! :)
