Introducing Our Label : Casa Elana
"Casa Elana is a clothing label by Fifi Alvianto, Hanna Faridl & Anneke Scorpy".
And this is our expression of a modest hijab friendly outfit. Made by our experience wearing hijab. Addressed to everyone who love to look nice, comfortable and modest.Casa Elana is not (yet) an online store. So far we sell our products by joining bazaar or event. We believe introducing our products in person is more valuable than meeting you by online. But who knows, one day we can ship our products overseas.
Right now www.casa-elana.com is temporarily under maintenance, but we'll spread the news if the site is ready. Meanwhile please enjoy our photos and video, made for Casa Elana's March/April 2011 collection, "Jingga" (If you cannot play the video, please make sure that you have the latest Adobe Flash Player).
Turban & cape with extended scarf, long dress, and maxi skirt are some of our collections.

Belajar dari Jepang
Semua headline maupun tagar yang tertulis "Pray for Japan" saat ini berubah menjadi "Belajar dari Jepang". Semua mata memandang dan bisa menilai bagaimana masyarakat dan pemerintah Jepang menghadapi bencana alam di negerinya. Semuanya bisa mengambil kesimpulan bagaimana mentalitas masyarakat Jepang memukau dunia, entah itu tua dan muda, mereka menghadapi semuanya dengan kepala dingin dan tidak panik.
Ada diperlihatkan satu scene, ketika gempa 9 SR itu datang dan hitungan detik mereka segera bersiap untuk mengevakuasi diri mereka bersama-sama keluar dari gedung. Membentuk satu barisan memanjang layaknya semut merangkul pundak teman di depannya disertai baskom dan helm di atas kepala mereka masing-masing. Tak ada dorong-mendorong, tak ada saling injak, sehingga semuanya keluar dengan selamat.
Adegan lain di televisi adalah ketika mereka dibagi bantuan makanan di pengungsian. Satu kata : TERTIB. Mereka antre dan menunggu giliran mereka dengan jatah yang sudah diperhitungkan. Tidak ada kejadian berebut makanan, tidak ada penjarahan, tidak ada kerusuhan.
Pada salah satu milis, saya baca ada yang bercerita, ketika gempa terjadi. Lalu lintas langsung lumpuh total. Tetapi pengendara tetap tenang menunggu gilirannya untuk memajukan kendaraannya. Tetap memperhatikan lampu lalu lintas. Dikabarkan meski lampu sudah hijau, hanya 1 mobil yang bisa melaju."Lalu lintas bagai di neraka dan sering kali hanya satu mobil dapat berjalan ketika lampu lalu lintas berubah menjadi hijau. Tapi semua begitu tenang dan mengemudi dengan aman dan memberikan jalan kepada satu sama lain," ucap salah salah satu pengendara, Arakawa.
Arakawa mengucapkan hal itu melalui akun twitter, yang lalu diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Inggris oleh seorang translator bernama Aya Watanabe (@vida_es_bella). Watanabe menghimpun beberapa tweet para korban gempa yang menunjukkan ketertiban dan rasa kesetiakawanan warga Jepang.
Masih di jalan raya, seorang pengguna jalan lain mengatakan, ia mengemudi selama 10 jam untuk pulang ke rumah saat gempa menghentak pada Jumat sore, 11 Maret lalu. Lalu lintas sangat padat. Namun, ia tidak mendengar bunyi klakson sekali pun."Yang terdengar hanyalah ucapan terima kasih antara satu sama lain, karena telah diberi jalan," katanya.
Sikap tetap tertib dan tidak emosional juga terlihat di stasiun-staiun kereta api. Seperti diberitakan, ketiga gempa terjadi, jaringan KA Tokyo Metro sempat menghentikan operasinya dengan alasan keselamatan penumpang. Banyak penumpang yang terlantar di stasiun. Namun, mereka tetap menunggu dengan sabar sampai KA dapat beroperasi kembali.
Ini adalah sedikit informasi yang saya dapat dari berbagai sumber. Tetapi sudah banyak sekali memberikan contoh untuk kita semua. Semoga gempa dan tsunami yang terjadi di Jepang bisa memberikan hikmah tersendiri untuk kita :)

Interview with Mrs. Lamia A.
Mrs. Lamia A. - Switzerland"Care is the ingredient that keeps true friendships alive despite separation, distance, or time".
This proverb describe well the relationship between Hijab Scarf and Hijabs & Co. Though we may never meet in person we feel like sisters who can share common bond of sisterhood.
It is a bliss to live in the era when blogs bring all sisters around the world close at heart. Her background who raised and live from many cultures encourage us to know a bit more about her. We believe that the happiest business in the world is making friends.
So please introduce, Mrs. Lamia from Hijabs & Co.
1. Tell us about yourself?This proverb describe well the relationship between Hijab Scarf and Hijabs & Co. Though we may never meet in person we feel like sisters who can share common bond of sisterhood.
It is a bliss to live in the era when blogs bring all sisters around the world close at heart. Her background who raised and live from many cultures encourage us to know a bit more about her. We believe that the happiest business in the world is making friends.
So please introduce, Mrs. Lamia from Hijabs & Co.
I am just like another ordinary Arabic girls, my name is Lamia, 25 years old, I am from Switzerland, married to a wonderful husband. I like horse ridding, especially endurance race =)
2. When did you start wearing hijab and what is your biggest motivation?
Awhile ago, and nobody forced me to wear it. To be honest I was scared at first, especially when you live in a non-Muslim country. I remember one day I was reading the book of stories of prophets and their beautiful and pious wife, I was very touched. Alhamdulillah God guided me to wear it.
3. What is your biggest fear of living in a non-muslim country compare to your hometown?
I'm not afraid to live in a non-Muslim country, after all I'm used to it. I was born in France, grew up in an Arab country and after living in Europe, but something is unbearable for me is racism. Since the attacks on America, media speculation has pointed the finger at Muslims. A Muslim is portrayed to be a "terrorist", a "refugee", or a "militant", but seldom a real human being.
For example: in Switzerland Muslim women have no right to work with her veil, we don't have Muslim cemetery. Switzerland has banned the construction of minaret. We are obliged to buy meat from butcher because Switzerland prohibited to slaughter sheep, same the day of Eid Al-adha and of course banning the burqa.
4. What is the weirdest question regarding hijab you’ve ever got?
Hahahah, yes. Do you have hair under your hijab? Oh yes, and they are very long.
5. How do you cope living uncomfortably in a non muslim country?
What I explained on the 3rd question, can frighten a Muslim living in a Muslim country. But generally you don't feel insecure. Young people got more spirit than those aged. I am proud to be Muslim and proud to wear the veil, so I feel quite at ease. Several times, men and women stopped me in the street to tell me that my veil or my style was beautiful.
6. Some says that fashion and hijab does not go in the same line. Women should not beautify themselves when go out, such as wear make up, perfume or shoes that make a loud sound when they walk outside. What do you think about that?
I have always said that a woman can be fashionable but do dress with some modesty, do not fall into ridiculous dress and makeup. Wearing the veil is defined as an act of faith in the practice of Muslim worship, an object of value and a recognition for all women who wear it, for herself. Everyone has to respect this.
7. What kind of style that suit you best?
Parisian chicness is my style. ‘Chic, Comfort, and Covered’. If I am not comfortable then I will not wear it. The most important rule regarding fashion is to make you look great and of course to make you feel comfortable.
8. What do you think about muslim women in Indonesia?
As I mentioned on my blog, personally I think that Indonesian & Malaysian girls are the epitome of fashionable Muslim. I like their style, hippie chic. They also have a nice way to wear the veil, beautiful women, very gracious and know how to combined fashion and hijab. My most inspiration is coming from Indonesian girls and I love the way they put color on them. For me Indonesia is the future of Islamic fashion.
9. Describe your best feeling of wearing hijab?
Wearing the veil is one of the most beautiful thing. We must try our best we can to be an example of humanity and to honor this gift of hijab.

Baru Tau Rasanya
Dulu ketika belum menikah, saya berpikir bahwa ga mungkin deh kalo saya sampe ngidam yang asem-asem. Karena saya paling anti dengan rasa asem :D
Tapi....
Setelah merasakan sendiri saat ini, hehe... Saya salah! Yang saya pikirkan adalah apa yang harus saya makan berikutnya untuk mengurangi rasa eneg dan mual ini. Menurut yang saya tahu, rasa mual dan keinginan muntah yang sangat besar ini dikarenakan hormon saya yang tidak stabil. Sebuah perubahan besar yang terjadi dalam tubuh saya membuat adaptasi yang besar-besaran pula. Terlebih hormon estrogen yang wanita miliki juga drastis berubah, alias mengalami peningkatan. Peningkatan ini menyebabkan penyesuaian peredaran darah. Volume darah akan makin meningkat yang menyebabkan pengenceran darah ibu dan menyebabkan penurunan hemoglobin darah. Pantesan aja rasanya kekeleyengan :D Musti searching makanan penambah darah nih, semangaaat!!!
Menu andalan saya selama ini :
1. Madu, baru tau setelah browsing kalo ini bisa jadi penambah darah.
2. Pempek Palembang Langganan, Aay tau aja deh rasa pempek di lidahku kaya apa, pempeknya kerasa ikannya banget plus kuah yang asem sueger plus pueddess poll!!!
3. Jus strawberry, gula sedikit semakin mantabh!!!
4. Susu Kedelai, karena susu hamil dan susu produk biasa sudah "ditolak" oleh lidah, terkadang susu kedelai masuk, alhamdulillah dede tetep dapet asupan suplemen :)
5. Makanan manis, kalo lagi kepengen, siang-siang harus ada cemilan kaya roti or soes. It works untuk mengganjal perut. Karena saat ini bisa jadi beberapa hari ga masuk nasi.
6. Pisang, ini terkadang masuk kadang "tertolak', lumayan juga buat ganjal perut karena ada karbo-nya :)
Ada yang mau kasi saran tambahan ga? Makasih loooh...
