I have a few beautiful new dresses in the wardrobe and one of it is this Lace Bodycon Dress. Tell you a funny story on this dress. I had three dresses in my shopping cart and I was checking out. I always pay for my dress purchases with my Paypal and that day, no idea what is wrong with me that I decided I wanted to make payment using my Maybank account. So I hit the go back button and the page went missing. Then I saw the so-called order in my account with “payment pending” on it. I clicked on the order, didn’t see any button to click so I could make payment and I wanted to re-add all the dresses into my cart so I could reorder. This Lace Bodycon Dress was the last piece so I wasn’t able to find it anymore. I called Zalora as I was desperate. Here’s what’s interesting. I was told the order did not went through (as I expected as I didn’t pay for it) and there is no way they could “release” this dress back into the market from their end. All I can do is to wait 4 hours for the system to auto-refresh. If I still didn’t see it in 4 hours, that means it will take 24 hours. Oh my gosh!

So, as you can expect it was a stressful day that day as I really wanted the dress and it was the one and only last piece available. To make things worse, I was about to go out for an event. That means in 4 hours time I will not be at home to snatch the dress into my cart and pay immediately. 4 hours late I checked Zalora site again and the dress is still unavailable. I continued with the event, went home, fire up my laptop in zero to hundred second and voilá! I saw the dress. No one have bought it!! My lucky day.

This Lace Bodycon Dress is by Something Borrowed and I got it for RM29 only. I had a 20% discount code with certain purchase amount and so I paid RM23.20 in the end. Besides Maxqullo and Missguided, Something Borrowed is one of the brand that I like from Zalora. This dress has lace all over. It is only available in Size M, which is a size larger than what I used to wear from Something Borrowed. But it fits me perfectly, with some spare spaces on the tummy, which I am quite happy with. Despite a size larger, it is super flattering on me, although the looser back doesn’t sit well on my smaller upper body. It has a long see-through lace sleeves with a deep-V back. I had my eyes on the black last time but this red is prettier than I expected. Plus I’ve always wanted a red dress so why not.

I wore this to Clarins Double Serum press launch two weeks ago. Red coincide with Clarins’ logo color. The event was one of the major launch for Clarins and it was held at St. Regis KL. This dress I say was perfect for the occasion, the event and the venue. And of course I have to pair this dress with a heels from my all-time favourite shoe brand, Billini

Dress: Something Borrowed Lace Bodycon Dress (RM29.90 after discount)
Heels: Billini Oasis (RM59 after discount)
Necklace: H&M Gold Dual-Long Necklace (RM10 after discount)

Fiona, Fiona. You never learn from experience isn’t it? After my awful 2nd online shopping experience with MySale several months ago, I vowed not to spend a single dime at MySale anymore. Here’s the story. I have RM30 voucher which will be expiring pretty soon and I just want to let the voucher burn. Until I saw Christmas candle in the Home & Living section. I’m obsessing over candles for the past few months. All the YouTubers (my main influencers) are talking about Christmas candle or Pumpkin Spice and I desperately wanted a few. I couldn’t find any Christmas scent candle in KL and MySale had it. That was before I found out about Yankee Candle availability in Malaysia so you can save the nagging . And please no Diptique candle talk because it’s too expensive for me to burn my money with. I burn candle like no tomorrow so oh God no.

As you can see from above photo, I only ordered two candle – Christmas Spice and Christmas Tree. Both is very Christmas-y, very huge and they came with three wick, which is always good for a big candle like this.

I’m so lazy to talk about delivery but since there has been some changes with the courier company, I thought I should update you too. MySale FINALLY ditched ABX and go with GDex. I was thrilled to learnt that it’s GDex that is delivery the parcel but then I remembered my brother’s experience with GDex. Apparently the branch near me was a lazy one. They would hold the parcel for days even to a week and then simply state in the system “No One At Home”. Here’s the thing. Both my parents are at home on weekday. On weekend we make sure at least one person is at home because your home girl has been online shopping every single day so there’s at least a parcel per day. Yeah I know. I’ve been naughty. So my parcel has been stuck in GDex since 8th December. The system state “Out for Delivery” and I would go home to no parcel awaiting for me. I finally gave GDex a call yesterday (Friday) at 9.30am and they said they will send it on the same day. Within 15 minutes or so, I checked the tracking system and it was stated “No One At Home”. Wtf? So my guess is the delivery guy is too lazy to deliver and the clerk just helped him by entering that into the system. The best part is, I received a sms half an hour later requesting me to collect the parcel personally from their office. Since I’m also expecting Zalora parcel from GDex, I was lazy to argue and drove there.

I went to collect both my parcel this morning. While waiting for the girl to retrieve my parcel, I could already hear the broken glass sound while she was walking a few metres away. I knew I’d blow up big time if I were to open my parcel there and then so I decided to check my parcels in the car. I started off with Zalora parcel and it was in tip top condition. Can’t say the same with MySale parcel since I already knew it was broken. To be frank I was a little surprised to find out that one candle is not broken. So I walk back in ‘calmly’ to GDex office and showed then the broken item. I refused to let them have the item to claim because I need to submit a refund claim to MySale as well. So she took some photo and I went home with a broken candle, a new candle and my Zalora haul.

On another note (too lazy to start a new post), I once again had a good experience with Zalora. Not sure if you remember this but Zalora used to get a lot of bashing for their shitty service, delivery time, delivery, wrong item sent etc. Contrary to other people, I have had good ones with Zalora. I knew about the 12.12 Online Fever campaign a few days earlier and I happened to saw some items that never goes on sale are on sale on the 10th December. 12.12 Online Fever was scheduled to go live on the midnight actually. I placed my order on the 10th December and my parcel was shipped out the next day.

I like that Zalora used a huge box for small item and padded it with air bubble packaging to keep things in place. Zalora also include a return Poslaju slip just in case.

I bought a Make Up For Ever HD Powder which was on 25% OFF from the original price of RM150. I used a secret code for extra 20% and paid just RM90.40 for this. Initially I also wanted to bag HD Foundation (which was also on 25% discount) but I couldn’t remember my MUFE shade so I didn’t buy it. Also check out with a neclace from Something Borrowed.

There you go. My rant on MySale again (what’s new) and another satisfied Zalora purchase. Did you spot the special discount on Sephora section in Zalora? Do share with me your haul from 12.12 Online Fever sale
