Shopaholics' Weekend in Kuala Lumpur
So, a few friends and I took a shopping trip to Kuala Lumpur for the weekend and boy, did we have a blast! As the Malaysia Mega Sale Carnival is on until mid September, it was the perfect time to just take a break and do my all-time favourite sport - shopping!
It's been five years since I've been to KL and quite a bit has changed! Anyways, we stayed at Hotel Imperial, which is a budget hotel (because we need all the money for shopping) in Bukit Bintang just right off the food-laden Jalan Alor. Excellent location, with KFC, Starbucks and Sungei Wang just around the corner.

Our first stop ever was at Pink Evil's Fashion Supermarket, which had a lot of dresses, tops, skirts, bags, shoes and accessories at affordable prices! The clothes were what impressed me the most because they were of great quality and style. You can visit them at Mid Valley Megamall, One Utama and Bukit Bintang Plaza.
At Mid Valley Megamall, we spent about five hours at a super shopping event at one of the mall's exhibition halls - Malaysia's Online Fashion Entrepreneurs Weekend. There were over 80 booths selling clothes, bags, shoes, jewelry, you name it, they're there! We walked out of the place with hands full of shopping bags and some of the stuff are for you people. ;)
I think one day, we should organize an event similar to theirs for our own local fashion entrepreneurs eh?

You'll be able to see some of those cute bags and earrings in our store very soon. :) I didn't get a whole lot of stuff for the store because, well, I was too busy shopping for myself!
Anyhoo, we also visited Vincci and Charles & Keith to see their latest shoes. In Vincci, I came across these pair of ballerina flats (first pic) with Kooshballs for ornaments. How cute are they huh?
In Charles & Keith, I looked across the room full of heels and these pair of grey gladiator-like, four-inch platform heels caught my eyes. It's made of grey jeans material with rubber soles. Tasselled zip at the back, decorated with bronze studs. But it cost RM230+ or something like that, and I still had more shopping to do so I reluctantly tore myself away. I did visit them again in Pavilion though, oh so lovely...
If you're thinking I'm insane to let these pair of heels go, don't worry. Once I was back in Brunei, I came to my senses and had asked a friend to help me get them when she goes to KL next month. I cannot wait! :D
Orange Atrium, Sunway Pyramid
On our last day, Ms Rara and I went over to Sunway Pyramid. It's absolutely gorgeous and we didn't know there was a mini ferris wheel in there! Talk about being obvious tourists.
At night, we went to Pavilion which is just a long walk down the street. Such a gorgeous place. Our feet were aching so bad by then, but we pushed on. There was a Forever 21 store there, but didn't get any clothes from there as I get them much cheaper from the US.

We stopped by at Accessorize which had loads of lovely.. well, accessories. Most of the purses, clutches and handbags were vintage-inspired, so that means pastel colors with floral prints.
Just take a look at this card holder that Ms Rara had bought. Absolutely gorgeous. Try going in to the store and resist purchasing their stuff!
Our last visit in KL was to Beryl's Chocolate Kingdom, which we didn't even plan in the first place. We were actually on our way to the airport to catch our flight back to Brunei and our taxi driver insisted on bringing us there. He actually carried on a long monologue on the types of chocolates available.
Uncle:
You all like chocolates? I know you all like. Because all girls like chocolate wan. I bring you go chocolate factory. Very nice chocolate. Many, many chocolate. All types of chocolate. Got dark chocolate, milk chocolate, durian chocolate, tongkat ali chocolate, pineapple chocolate, strawberry chocolate, peppermint chocolate...
Me:
Uncle, when again got sales in Malaysia?
Uncle:
Yeah, sales. Also got apple chocolate, banana chocolate. What chocolate you like? Got coconut chocolate, papaya chocolate, chilli chocolate...
True story. Anyways, there WERE lots of types of chocolates there and I got a box of assorted peppermint chocolates and dark chocolate. They were delicious. :)
All in all, it was a really good trip, taking time off to indulge myself. KL can be such an exciting city with those huge malls full of beautiful stuff. And I definitely plan to visit KL more often in the future.
Fancy a taking a break yourself? The Malaysia Mega Sale Carnival will last until 16th September, so you may want to book yourself on a plane to KL before it ends.
Ta!
