Full House

Sometimes, I find shopping for clothes in KL a bit of a frusfrating experience. Seriously, have you been to shopping malls such as 1Utama or Mid Valley lately ? Did you notice the boring styles ? More importantly, did you notice the crazy exorbitant prices?

I mean, RM80 for a simple piece of blouse ...(RM79.90 is RM80 ok, let's not kid ourselves, gals). Any kind of dress cost more than RM100, and if it's by a bit of a well known label....it easily costs more than RM200.

I'm a big fan of the label Warehouse, but I've never bought anything from that store cause it's bloody expensive. Same goes with the boutique Egete, I go in, swoon over all the pretty dress and then come out empty handed. How about local labels such as Seed or Padini or PDI? Am I the only one who thinks that their simple and bland clothings are highly overpriced? Elle ? Esprit ? What other way can I describe boring and overpriced ?

How do you stay in style and at the same time avoid declaring bankcruptcy ???

I'm so giving up shopping for clothes in shopping mall, they are boring and not worth the price charged. Due to this reason, I started looking into fashion boutiques litterred around Klang Valley. I know that there are quite a number of boutiques in Damansara Utama, Sri Hartamas and Plaza Damas. And I've been scouring some of the boutiques based on recommendations from friends and magazines.

The verdict : To all the fashionistas out there, we have hope!

One of my favourite find is this nice boutique called Full House located at Sri Hartamas. I like the large space in the boutique, I also like the friendly staffs there. I sooo blew my budget this month because of this boutique. I spend so much that I was given a member card ;p. Check out my loot :

Pretty dresses : Black RM89.90, Peach RM69.90....someone invite me to a dinner/party please!

Skirts : Brown RM49.90, Flowery RM42.90

Pinks : Blouse RM29, hair band RM9.90

So far, I'm quite happy with my little 'adventure' in searching for affordable and pretty clothes. Hopefully, there's more 'finds' in the future :). How about you, any boutiques you would like to recommendation ?

Birthday Present

My birthday present : )

It's an Oakley, Whisker model. With polarized lenses :

Love it ! Took me 2 whole days of shopping to choose this one. It's not easy shopping for sunglasses in Malaysia. The brands and models are limited in each shop.
Like for Oakley brand, only a few shops such as Focus Point and Paris Miki sold this brand.
Then, one shop might have this model, but in different colors, and if another shop had the model and color that you want, it might not come with polarized lenses. Choices are so few....*sigh*

I was quite torn between practicality and style. On one hand, I want something practical. Polarized lenses is quite important especially because I'll be using it for driving. And hardiness of the sunglasses is also important for someone like me whose stuff get abused daily - "oops, I sat on my sunglasses".....

On another hand, there's the style factor. Think Prada, Gucci, Dior, Armani......and I love those Aviator styles. But when it comes to these brands....most of them are not practical, flimsy and very limited models with polarized lenses.

So in the end, practicality wins. I got the Oakley. But I'm not giving up on style....I plan to get myself another 'cipalak' Aviator sunglasses.....just for kicks.

Wedding Photoshoot : The photos

We got the photos from our 2nd wedding photoshoot. It's been uploaded here :

Password is required.

We have started the task to choose all the photos. Which ones to be put into big album, which ones for small albums, to be blown up as the big photo, to be included in the invitation card...etc etc...Tedious task I tell you.

Good news is that we manage to 'X' quite a lot of photos. It's good news because our package only allows us to choose 50 photos in total. Anything more, we'll need to cough out extra money. Being el cheapo that we are, this is good news for us. We were quite 'strict' in our choosing process, every little thing is scrutinized...smile crooked ? X, pose not nice? X, background not nice? X, toes not nice? X.....yeah...very strict.

After the first 'filtering' process, we are down to about 60 photos. We shall see how the 2nd 'filtering' process goes.....hehe
