Window shopping @ Hartamas

My boyfriend was such a darling to agree to accompany me to get my fix of window shopping today(like he always does ^_^), so we checked out a few boutiques at Desa Sri Hartamas.

First stop : Charms Boutique.
Unfortunately it was closed although we were there at about 8pm. Oh well, too bad. Moving on.

Second stop: Little Black Book. (I like the name, has a ring to it)
There was this rack that had a RM29.90 sign and naturally I was drawn to it first. There was this cute black halter empire waist dress with silver sequins on it that caught my eye. The original price (or so I thought) was RM79.00. Such a steal right? A RM79 dress selling for RM29.90... But when I asked the salesgirl, she said only the blouses were Rm29.90. Upon closer inspection, I saw that the sign had a picture of a hand on it, pointing towards the blouses. Hmpf! I'd rather they didn't do that in future, misleading their customers.

I find the clothes just so-so for my liking. They're pretty trendy, and very reasonably priced (on average about RM39 and above for a top), but the quality leaves alot to be desired. Some of the things there could probably be bought at Sungai Wang Plaza for a cheaper price...

Third stop: Cats Whiskers
My personal favorite! Saw alot of stuff that I liked and was tempted to buy, but unfortunately I didn't have much time to browse around. I think I shall go back one of these days. I like the fact that everything is color coded - clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories. It makes browsing such a pleasure. Their designs are good, the prices are reasonable, and the quality is okay. It's a great place to get seasonal items, especially for people on a budget like me. I tried on a few tops but they didn't fit me well because those tops happened to be free size (I'm too small for free sized, boo hoo!)

White ballet flats with silver/black flower applique - RM49

(Sorry if the color is out, cos I took it with my camera phone and the flash was on)

Gold bejeweled bangles (set of 3) - RM39

Earrings - RM59

Final stop: Blook
Ah yes, the place that opens till midnights on weekdays, 1am on weekends. I've always liked their stuff, but somehow I haven't bought much from them. I don't think I'll visit their outlet in Hartamas again though. I prefer the Bangsar one. First of all, they don't have seats outside the fitting rooms, so poor boyfie had to stand. They do have those teak single seaters in the fitting room though. I asked one of the ladies working there if we could use one of those and they agreed. I tried on a figure-hugging black dress that looked good on me, but I looked like an OL (Office Lady), as my boyfriend observed. Not that I mind, really :)

I asked him to take a picture of me wearing the dress so I could feature it here; one of the salesgirls caught us and told us that no photos were allowed. Fine. But then that B*TCH came and asked my boyfriend to stand up so she could put the chair back in the fitting room. Now THAT pissed me off. It's not like they were closing or anything, it was only 9pm! Fine, if she wants to make us feel unwelcome, she can be sure that Blook Sri Hartamas receives bad publicity from me, and I shall NOT go back there again. So there! We left after that.

Haha anyway, here's the aforementioned dress. It's not such a good picture and you can't really see it clearly, but it has a high neckline with cut in sleeves. The neckline of my prom dress is going to be something like that. But not in black of course...its too common! Oh by the way, see the stool in the next fitting room? That's the one I'm talking about.

Alritey, time to get some beauty sleep. I hope I remember never to go to that shop again.
