The Impulse Buyer: Me
My "craving" for shoes didn't start at Vincci. In fact, it was few days before when I was at Jusco. For those who don't know, I've been buying only heels from Nose (my favourite!!!) and Vincci. Past experience of buying cheaper heels proved that it is always better to pay a little bit more to get that comfort. Most of the time, the base of the not-so-branded and cheaper heels are very hard like a plank. It would cause my feet to be in pain after walking for a distance. As pretty as they might look, I try to stay away from those heels.
So I was at Jusco like I said and my eyes caught a pair of pweety pweety Creme's 3-inch heels. Without wasting much time, I slipped it on my right foot and my, I felt like wearing a soft spongy heel. Not only it was comfortable but the quality looked good too. The only thing was, it was just a little too pricey for my regular shopping. I wouldn't pay anything more than RM60 to satisfy my "crave" unless I really needed that pair of heels for some functions. I need to get rid of my habit of buying expensive pretty heels and just keeping them in the box and at the same time, stacking them up on my gonna-fall-soon shoerack. I put the heel back to where it was and slowly turned around before walking away. I could hear myself talking in the head, "Nope, don't buy it. Stop it. But it's so pretty and I love it. The quality is way better than Vincci and it's gonna worth it. But hell, probably they have ran out of my size already. Yeah, the size I want no more already. So, no need to buy. No more. No more. No need to buy."
Well, the truth is, of cos I kept thinking about it until I received the catalogue from Padini Holdings the very next day which displayed the new collection of Vincci shoes. Bugger! Still, I was telling myself to stop and start to save some money, you idiot. But, but, the devil inside me was really evil because it made me purchased a pair of brown peep-toe heels at Cat Whiskers in Bangsar the very same day. After years of not buying non-branded heels, I gave in for the RM65 per pair with a koyak-rabak lousy box. Not really worthed the price when you know it's some made-in-china product but damn, they are pweeeeetyyyy pweeewiitttt!!!!!
There's also a new shop in Bangsar called PurpleDotz which started to operate just last week. Plus points for this shop are, nice environment compared to most of the shops available there, they give paperbag with every purchase and not some lousy plastic bag, and their cute, cute cakebox-like shoebox for every pair of heels you buy there. I wanted the box so badly but the shoes they are selling for the moment, in my opinion, suited for divas and some mak datins. Not to forget, their prices are rather reasonable though I would say the clothes and dresses there are not exactly in good quality. But heck, what do you expect. If you love it, then buy it. At least, they don't overcharge like certain shops around that area just because they give NICE paperbag. Doink! The only thing I felt cheated by PurpleDotz was the URL they've printed on the paperbag. It says www.purpledotz.com and duh, it's not working. I bet the domain is not even registered. Why-la, why you people do things half-past six? Anyway, I went home as a happy girl despite missing all the fireworks but later was really sad to find out the 2 chocolate mousse cakes I bought in Bakerzin already melted like some dirty poo-poo. :(
The next day came and I was still flipping the stupid catalogue looking at the same page over and over again. I've been whining non-stop and acting weirdly because the images of the shoes kept popping into my head. Finally, GebuDebu couldn't stand it more than I could stand myself, he dragged me to KLCC. There rest is history. I also remember I wrote a post 2 years ago about me buying 3 pairs of heels from Vincci. I checked and each pair only costed RM39.90 per pair while the heels that burnt my pocket 2 days ago costed RM75.90 per pair. Damn you, V! The worst thing is, I can't walk into Nose for this entire month. I need a therapist to cure my insanity.
On an unrelated matter, anyone heard the Toyota Hilux ad on radio few weeks ago? I kept on chuckling whenever I heard the ad on air cos the first time I heard it, I thought the man was saying Toyota Hailat. I was like WHAT??? Then only I thought about the big-sized Hilux. Kekekeke... I'm also very sure you people will keep hearing "Wake Me Up When September Ends" for this entire month AGAIN on the radio. Pfuhhh~
