My Shopping Experience At Zalora Malaysia

 

I'm sure you guys have heard of the ever so talked about Zalora Website, it has currently taken online shopping to a whole new level and has easily become Asia's leading online fashion destination. The lovely items showcased above are my first ever purchases from Zalora Malaysia. And I've got to admit, they did not disappoint at all. The Zalora Website not only carry clothing items, but also bags, accessories, watches, sports wear, beauty and Muslim wear. The many brands that Zalora has to offer varies from high-end to the more affordable ones. These brands include, MANGO, Ezra, American Apparel, VINCCI, Nine West and so much more. 

My overall experience shopping at Zalora Malaysia was splendid. From the ordering process, to delivery and even price and quality, they were all spot on. In my first order I actually only ordered 3 items, which were the Black Ezra Wedges, Metallic Pink River Island Purse and the Mandarin Collar Top. However, the silly me accidentally order the wrong size for the Black Ezra Wedges. Fret not as Zalora offers free returns within 30days of purchase, which then you'd be refunded fully in store credit which you can reorder the correct size or repurchase any other item of your choice. How great is that?

After noticing my mistake, I immediately repackaged the box and sent it back on its way to the Zalora Warehouse, (yey for no postage charges!). It was my first time shopping at Zalora hence I emailed their customer service to expect my returned shoes. Within the next day, the Zalora Customer Services were friendly enough to inform me that they have received my returned shoes and would proceed my full refund in store credit within the next 3 working days. Within the stated time, I got my store credit and went on getting the shoes in the correct size & even added on a pair of Nude Sandal Heels in my order. All my items came in top shape and to my surprise the shoes were of very good quality.

Perfection Celebrative Hi-Tea & The Week

I'm so sorry for my somewhat prolonged blogging absence. However, this week has been particularly busy. From Inter-house Basketball competition held on Monday and Tuesday, to hopping from cheer practices to basketball practices each other day. Inter-house was great, yellow house did an amazing job winning all 3 matches and snagging first place for all categories in basketball. I'm so happy :') 

Next, MSSD basketball next Tuesday! Scraped my left knee in finals of inter-house and got a nasty wound, [insert some graphic disturbing photo] let's hope it doesn't affect my performance.                  "Let's hope for the best, we can do this." i know i say line too much in a basketball match. HAHA

credits to Zheng Hao for this picture.

Besides that, I also attended Perfection's annual Celebrative Hi-Tea last Saturday with a couple of my tuition buddies. It was a dress to impress event so, everyone dolled up and got their best outfit on that afternoon. Brian looked rather dashing that evening, with his new haircut and formal attire, not to mention Mr. Loke too, who doesn't seem to admit that it was him, when we questioned him in tuition last night. He claims the guy we saw that day was his "twin bother". HA-HA!

Hitched a ride with Amelia to Perfection's HQ located in Kepong. Food there was good, but the only down side to it was it was very hard to eat as there were no tables. They were performances by both students and teachers that evening. It was like watching my school's very own Malam Bakat, which was held a night before the Hi-tea. (didn't attend malam bakat cause I had Physics &Add Math tuition, sue me :P ) Crashed at Regine's that night and it was straight to basketball training the next morning. 

This was what I wore that fine evening. 

Dress: Clothes For Fun, Lace Biker Jacket: Blaq Magiks, Bag: Agape Boutique, Shoes: Frollics.

Mouth watering or what? I only took pictures of this table, cause it was my favorite. HEE

Just look at the amount of BERRIES! #.#

My rockstars and I. Lyonnes too performed that evening.

with my tuition buds (who apparently ganged up on me to score 6A's, haha!), including Brian,
Christopher and Keeve who helped took this photo.

The following day, had an hour of badminton with ze badminton buddies, Brian, Arif and Yong Jac. Mom decided to pay for our first game. After that it was dinner at Asia Cafe next door.

Chinese New Year Day 1

 Top: Phat Culture, Shorts: Miccaz

This is basically what I wore for Day 1. Didn't buy it specifically for Chinese New Year, but the beige top manage to arrive a few days before Chinese New Year, since it was new I decided to go with it then. Although Mom gave me RM100 (she was rather generous that morning) for me to find a decent top, having to raid a total of 3 shopping malls but to find nothing, I count that as failing miserably. Plus, I had Angie by my side most of the time, double fail :(

The morning of Day 1 was started of by the usual tea ceremony. It's a Cheong tradition to have the tea ceremony every Chinese New Year. Basically, it's where the young ones serve the elderly tea while saying a couple of auspicious phrases to bless them, and only after that we'll receive what every kid's longing for every Chinese New Year - Red Packets, also known as the 'Ang Pao'. We usually have our family tea ceremony at home first before leaving for my Aunt's place to have another tea ceremony there. But this time, for my grandmother.

Dress: Phat Culture, Cropped Jacket: Blaq Magik

too early for Yee Sang? 

Dinner at Super Tanker with the relatives on mom's side. Cousins who just came down from Kluang were there too, had a great time hearing about what they have been up to lately. Most of them are furthering their studies out station, man makes me wonder where am I gonna be no wait, what am I gonna do in the next 3 years time. Well, I just have to wait and see what interests me :)       & no Angie, not a Ninja.

When leather meets floral

wearing Forever21 tee, Kitschen floral skirt, Seesaw's Playground belt, Black Milk Project 'leather' jacket, DIY peace necklace and Chanel inspired quilted bag. 

Spent the last 2 days straight in OU. That's what you get when you stay in this side of town during a school break. First day was spent shopping with the girls, Angie, Steph and Renie. Well, I haven't shopped this much in 1 go before, but they were good buys. Gotten 2 plain tees from Forever 21, Sneakers from Cotton On and a floral skirt from Kitschen. All the stuff I got were half priced except the Kitschen skirt, so much for a winning streak :\  Did you know that the plain tees are my first ever buy from Forever 21, and also the floral skirt from Kitschen? I rarely enter Forever 21 cause the one in OU is super messy and it's so hard to find clothes in a rack where they're way too many in it. 

This was what I wore during the second day in OU, had a gathering with the IBMers. Watched The Other Guys, which was okay, but RED was better (; 

What do you think about the Forever 21 in One Utama? 

*skincare product post is gonna take awhile, sorry!

PS: Except a change of link, soon. :P

Study Breaks As DIY Session

HI READERS. 

If you've been an avid reader of my tweets last month, you should know that I've been doing some DIY lately. But due to examination preparations I took a pause after completing the black Cupido. But these addictions are pretty hard to let loose off, a ghost keychain and a white Cupido in the FIRST 2 DAYS! 

white one in the making.

black one in the making.

End products. For sale at MyShoppingNeeds

As I mentioned in Twitter, had a study group at Starbucks yesterday. 

Plus I mange to pick up some great stuff too, after studying ofcourse.

- Two-toned flats to replace my broken everyday flats.

- Mini birdcage, will definitely go back for the big one >)

This plain looking pair of flats calls for some DIY ribbons! 

To give it a pinch of cuteness. I swear it doesn't take more than 

an hour to make so trust me, i DID study :P Like I said, study break = DIY Session.

- Colored Felt (black for me) / Satin Ribbons

- Sewing Kit

- Scissors 

- Hot Glue Gun / Safety Pins

I did a step by step picture tutorial to make the ribbons. 

But i think there's no need for one, it's too simple! 

 Before 

After 

The shoe's material was actually to thick for the pin to fit, there goes my smooth plan. I want it to be removable and attachable back again. Any other suggestions on what to use? Mom said HOT GLUE GUN, but then it wouldn't be removable anymore. We'll see, maybe I'll change my mind about the removable part :)

Fringe boots or whatever you call it arrived today. Color turned out darker than expected, but its okay anyways. Was juggling between the choice of taking black or light brown, and i got a middle shade. How good is god. After numerous of constipated faced-legs-doing a hurdle-out of frame jumpshots, FINALLY got a decent shot. 

So long till after PMR. All the best to all PMR candidates too.

Monday Blues

Tiffany & Co. 

Tiffany Blue. As you know I've been hunting for the perfect Tiffany Blue nail polish since I saw it on the tips of TheBlondeSalad. But to find out it's freaking Chanel -_-" 

Anyho, I went to Chanel @ OneUtama to check if they actually had the nail polish in this side of the world, and they did! But it's freaking Chanel, it would probably cost a bomb -_-" So, I asked the saleslady how much was it, and it was RM70 for a bottle. God knows how many bottles of nail polish I could buy from Elianto with that kinda money, GEEZ.

So, I started googling for alternatives for the perfect Tiffany Blue color. There are quite a number of it actually, mostly at a cheaper price too!

[L-R] Mint Candy Apple, For Audrey, Nouvelle Vague. 

The Face Shop's GR503(couldn't find image) and Essie's Mint Candy Apple are way too green, so their are definitely out.

Since the Chanel one is way outta my budget, I settled on the China Glaze one. 

Once I made up my mind, I placed an order at NailGalore as usual. 

To find out the next day, "sorry Nicole For Audrey is out of stock, we'll provide you a full refund." 

T________________________T

Now, I'm desperately looking for some place that sells China Glaze's For Audrey. HELP.

Students Appreciation Night

From the failed responds from my previous-previous post.

OKAY, it's official that now no one reads my blog anymore. 

Probably an embarrassing picture of myself will get the traffic going, keep waiting :P 

So, students appreciation night was held last Saturday at KLGCC. More like self-appreciation night says Dad. EXACTLY my point. But, for the sake of getting dressed up and hanging out with some friends, why not? ZJ offered to fetch Regine and I there, so we headed to her place at around 4 to get ready. The car ride in ZJ's brother's car was the most hatred part of all! Talk about youngsters driving, okay I sound really old. But the worst part was his comments, like seriously? Anger was pilling up inside of me, but ...

I held it in since, if I would have told him off it wouldn't be nice cause he was doing me a favor by sending me there. SO! I said thank you as politely as possible and thank god I got out safely from that death ride. I'm very very very thankful that my brothers don't drive like that, wee happy face  :D

We got there an hour and a half early from the others, cause ZJ had to help with the preparations and all. So, Regine and I pretty much stoned through that hour and a half. A 1story high building isn't much to explore is it. Spent time, taking pictures of our reflection, going up and down the lifts like 6 times that night? Yea, pretty much it.

Till 7:30 the doors were finally open, I was starving by then. The night wasn't as impressive as I would have imagined it to be, but it's all for charity :) Left quite disappointed, maybe the wrong crowd I guess :\ (who's the right crowd then I often ask myself) In fact I was quite worried for the next day cause I had a 7KM run, and I had to wake up super early for that.Got home at around 12+. Barely had juice to remove my make up, but eventually did, then straight to the sack it was! 

It sucks not having a camera in hand for special events :( 

It missed C3, my BIRTHDAY dinner, surprise party, THIS and my run :(

Please don't tell me CHEER '10 TOO! T___T

It's not confiscated or anything, but it had to be sent back to Canon for service caused by my clumsiness. FOR THE SECOND TIME ALREADY. And this time its worst than a few knocked out pixels, I accidentally kicked the tripod and the whole thing came collapsing down, I went collapsing down with it too to break the fall of the camera on top, but it still managed to hit the ground, slightly. Causing the lens to be stuck and now it's not retracting back ): 

So here's some photos from that night, creds to Regine. 

Dress: Dainty Dresser. 

Shawl: Mom's 

Clincher: Xcess Model. 

Clutch: FOC; Estee Lauder. 

Shoes: Yunique Paradise. 

I like this picture, but somhow it's a little bit odd O: 

probably the ugly chandelier :P

Updates bout my run and cheer shiz some other day :)

Tribute To Alexander Mcqueen Fashion Show.

p/s: This will be the last post till after first term, so enjoy reading & leave a comment. 

So as you know a tiny fashion show was held this last night, to honor the death of this well known fashion designer, Alexander Mcqueen. He will always be remembered for his unconventional and dramatic designs.

And no I did not go alone that night, I had a date :)
And who wouldn't guess, it's Angie, teehee! So she came by my house at around 6:30pm, I told her to bring all the floral tops she had over since I hadn't settled what I was gonna wear, and she did. But in the end, I wore my instead. With that settled, we got all glammed up, and headed downstairs for a rushed dinner. Time was short, since we I took a hell lot of time deciding which floral top to choose. So after eating, we put on our heels and out the door we went. Did I mention it was my first time rocking my Topshop Ashish Inspired Boots? Oh yea, the night's gonna be awesome.

Blazer: Beautiful Disaster. 

Floral Top: Attire Attic.

Accessories: DIY.  

Skinnies: Angelino's. 

Shoes: Yunique Paradise.

Bag: Alphabet Closet. 

 The show was gonna start at 8pm, and we only manage to leave the house around 7:50pm, talking about being fashionably late! We reached Laila's Cafe around 20 minutes later, I expected a really big crowd overflowing the place but all I saw was a table of maybe 5 people outside, 2-3 couples inside, 1 loner outside, and US, Ohman. We wanted to sit inside, but all of the tables stated "RESERVED". So we had no choice but to sit outside. With a blazer on in the weather of Malaysia, you sure ought to break a sweat. We got curious and wondered "Why so few people wan? Are we in the right place?" So we asked the waiter when was the fashion show gonna start. Waiter replies:" 9:30pm la miss."

Dayem boy! And we thought we were late. So an hour flies by and still none showed up. Since it was passed the time limit for one who'd reserved the tables, we got invited in to sit! :D Then, the fashion show started not to long after that. The night went on with 2 local fashion designers showcasing their beautiful pieces, and of course modeled by local models too.

Pieces by Julian Jensen Goh

Look at his heels! Pretty cool huh. 

Pieces by Bhaggawent Kaur

Just look at that train! *sweep floor sweep floor*

Through the night, we got interviewed by Msn Life & Style, Lydia Kwan. She asked a few questions about where we got our clothes from and what do we miss most about Alexander Mcqueen. She even took a couple of styleshots of us. 

The night ended pretty fast, didn't stay for the discussion since time was short, and we had to get home early. Rainbow is cute, bye! what a way to end this post.
