Mum has been asking me to bring her for shopping as I seldom bring her out for shopping anymore due to my recent busy schedule on weekend. So yesterday I took some time off from everything and off we go!

Destination – 1 Utama. This is the loot that I came home with. We shop from 10am to 1pm

As it’s my birthday month I use my 30% discount birthday card from Padini to get a few pairs of shoe. I don’t care if you are a Charles & Keith lover and that you think Vincci is a cheapo brand but for me I’ve been wearing them since high school and I’m not going to stop buying them. They made good and nice flats. I’m very much into flats now.

There are a few flats on promotion such as RM80 for 2 pairs. I had my eyes on the holey colorful peep toe flats as soon as I walked in. Settled with a red and blue although I like the brown as well. I was thinking to get all 4 colors LOL. I went with 30% discount on original price of RM49 per pair as it’s much more cheaper than RM80 promo. I saw a black and white pump which resemble oxford pump but unfortunately the heel at the back had a deep scratch and it’s the last pair. So I got the black one for RM89 before discount although there’s a few light scratches on the heel and it’s the last pair too :(. My last pair would be this rope cotton flower high heels for RM109. You should see the shoe from the side. It’s gorgeous. For every RM60 purchase I was given a canvas bag. With my total purchase of RM207.20 (RM88.80 saving) I was given 3 canvas bags.

I walked in to Uniqlo to get a pink baby tee for next week’s Estee Lauder Breast Cancer Awareness illumination event. This is only RM39.90. Super comfy.

Also bought some random stationery from Jusco. Bubble wrap RM4.90, big adhesive tape RM2.50 and small Loytape RM1.40 each.

I went hunting for a retractable lip brush and bought one from Watsons for RM18.90. I also use my L’Occitane RM20 birthday voucher to get a Shea Butter Hand Cream. I don’t have anything to buy at all can you believe it. The hand cream was RM38. I was given a 5% discount which makes the total RM36.10. I only paid RM16.10 after deducting the RM20 birthday voucher

Another big haul of the day is from Daiso. I bought a board as photo background prop, a pack of protection sheet to wrap all the products in blog sales, a huge pack of paper hand towel for the office, a bottle of sponge cleanser, a bottle of detergent for women, a 30ml vacuum essence bottle (tips post coming soon), a pack of Little Twin Stars clear bag, a pack of Hello Kitty plastic bag, a pack of smaller Little Twin Stars clear bag and a pack of floral paper bag.

Although yesterday’s shopping wasn’t a beauty shopping but I had fun especially at Daiso. I sort of went crazy with those Hello Kitty and Little Twin Stars clear bags that I need to put back some.

Did anyone went shopping too? There’s Isetan Anniversary Sales happening too.

A few days ago I went to Vincci Mid Valley (again) during lunch time to check out the on-going sales promo and this time the outlet was quiet with way lesser crowd and all the shoes condition is surprisingly good. The shoes was different too. This time they are doing a Further Markdown promo and I took this opportunity to grabbed 2 pairs of the same exact shoe not even 5 minutes after I entered the outlet!

I wanna clarify something here. People who buy Vincci shoe are not cheapo ok? Some of you may say that Vincci’s shoe is not comfortable but cheap. Well. That’s purely your opinion. To me, it’s the opposite way. The price is not cheap (it used to be cheap) but it sure do comfortable on my feet and last long too. How shoe last long depends on how frequent you wear it, how you wear it and how good you take care of it. Why my shoe last long on me? First, I wore different pairs everyday which means the lifetime is somehow dragged longer. Second, I look at where I step when walking and I walk properly. Thirdly, I always clean my shoes with damp cloth and store in shoe boxes.

I am obsessed with high strappy heels as more straps makes my feets smaller LOL and these were going for RM20 per pair and I grabbed the last 2 pairs of Size 7 almost immediately. I don’t know why. It was spontaneous. I took one pair and my itchy hand went to look for another pair for comparison but both were in superb good new condition so I think no more. What’s there to think for RM20 right? *grins*

The original price of this is RM89.

Would be good as a normal outdoor working shoe as I’m always out of office meeting clients. If it’s a formal meeting or just a day in the office I wouldn’t wear this. My CEO has this thing about us the Corporate sales. We need to be corporate dressed and presentable. Remember this Vincci strappy heels which I bought end of 2010? Everytime I wore these in the office I tried hiding away from my boss haha.

The bad thing is this is not a hook-on shoe. Aiyaaaa.

I took the advantage of recent Vincci 50% discount and grabbed myself 2 new shoe.

Right side – Brown slipper. Bought this at Mid Valley on 28th April at RM41.50. The store was in havoc and was so messy and chaotic that you hardly can see or touch anything. The shoe display was in a mess and bad condition too. I didn’t find anything else and this pair was just displayed out by the SA from a box.

Left side – Pink wedges. Bought this today at Sunway Pyramid at RM36.50. The store display and crowd is more organized and well displayed. All the shoe displayed is in superb condition unlike Mid Valley store.

I found out about this great promotion from a website that I gotta visit everyday. I missed previous promotion which was just in January. Although my office is in Mid Valley but I don’t get to sneak out all the time to shop. So I decided to buy a shoe on Sunday!

While I was washing my car on Saturday, postman came and handed me a mail. This came just in time! Padini sent me a RM50 Rebate Voucher!! Thank goodness this mail came before my purchase.

So I headed to Mid Valley to buy a shoe from Vincci. This pump was retailing at RM99 and is on 10% discount making the total RM89.10. I redeemed my RM50 Rebate Voucher making the balance to pay is RM39.10. How great is this. To me the 10% discount was a bonus as I didn’t know it was on sale.

After all the drama of running around town between KLCC and Mid Valley (read here), I finally redeemed my free gift from Clinique Service Centre.
