a break at 1u

took a break from sitting at home yesterday and went down to 1utama with my aunt to meet a friend.

did not expect to be there that long, went down at 1p.m. and then only reached home past 11p.m.
had 2 full meals, did window shopping at first.....which eventually became shopping, and also got a free shirt. not a bad trip.

let the pictures do the talking here.

our meal at lavender, bakery cum eatery in one utama. for those who have been to the bakery, you will know that their prices are not exactly cheap, so the meal we had in the eatery too was not cheap. the bill came up to rm100 for the 3 things we had, and also a glass of orange juice and a pot of lemongrass tea. but the quality of course was good.
so we ordered scallop pesto spaghettini, nama chocolate cake, and dutch lady pancake.
the cake came in such a small slice and it cost rm18. ouch.

dinner was at oriental cravings, and the bill was half of what we paid for lunch. we had hainanese style wan tan noodles, curry laksa and char kuey teow. the kuey teow was not up to standard and was slightly bland. the curry laksa though was thick and the roast pork in it was good! that was the best among the three ordered.
haiz....how many kilos did i just add yesterday alone???

now let's move on to shopping. the initial plan was to window shop. in fact, i did just that ....in the first round at 1 utama. we left 1 utama in the evening to go to the friend's house at bukit utama. then when we had nothing else to do in her condo, we all decided to go back to 1utama for dinner...that was when the shopping started.

one of the rare pieces i get from french connection. i seldom buy from this brand because i won't pay so much for my clothes.
this lacy dress was bought at 60% discount....and it fits me nicely. so how could i resist? i paid rm160 for it after discount. so the original price was rm400. worth it?

and i call this pair of shoes, my dorothy shoes. remember the wizard of oz and dorothy's ruby slippers? this pair of shoes reminded me of just that. i couldn't resist getting this because of how comfortable it was when i tried it on. i was hooked, the moment my feet slipped into the shoes. that fast. the red....how alluring.
70% discount and i paid rm110 for it. got this from tangs....they do have some nice imported shoes going for a song now....go if you are looking for new heels, or flats. all in leather.

ta-da. bangles to go with my new dress and new shoes? all branded, from christian dior and louis vuitton.
hahahhaa......no lah, they are not mine. if only they were kan? but personally i think only those 2 from louis vuitton are nice, the ones from christian dior look cheap. that is why the owner is going to return the two bangles from cd to the shop and add some more money to exchange for a bag.
i had fun going through some of her things in her condo.

and of course it led us to talk about bags too....

is anyone looking for bags from miu miu and louis vuitton?? this friend of mine is letting go of two bags she bought and never used.

first one to go, boetie pm from louis vuitton. fans of the brand will definitely love this versatile bag. the retail price in malaysia is around rm7+++ and she wants to sell it at rm5000. is there any taker??? that is a lot of saving ah. i think the price is still negotiable.

the second bag is this miu miu nappa bowling bag. also a brand new one and never used. the lining is satin pink and the clasp of the bag is not zip but buttons. it is a very roomy and light bag, so you can definitely dump a lot inside. this bag is going for not more than rm3000. not sure the exact price yet. it is really cheap...don't think you can get a miu miu so big at this price.

so if there is anyone interested, do drop me a message.
