Cath Kidston x Uniqlo KLCC

And here is ,one of my haul from the newly opened KLCC Uniqlo store! The opening was on 6th May 2011 and me and my hubby had come to KL on a whim in between every other day calls on the 8th just cos we know we're gonna be apart for a year when i start my Master's programme. It sucks but...

Anyway, we took the KTM from Tanjung Malim and came back by ETS. Vast difference in both modes of transport.

Anyway, we had no idea Uniqlo was opening in KLCC that very week, but i was just telling JH how i so want to buy the Cath Kidston Uniqlo collaboration tees.

And he said 'There's a Uniqlo opening in KLCC, but i don't know when.' I was just hoping and hoping and when i was greeted by the bright red Uniqlo sign i just squealed in delight and started queing. Yes queing! Two days after the official opening the place is still jam packed!There was a snaking que just to get into the store.

It did not take long for us to reach the start of the line and the friendly (over enthusiastic sometimes) Uniqlo staff gave us season booklets so that we could plan what we wanted to buy. Smart people.

Lovely Cath Kidston paper bags.The sales person who was doing the bagging gave us a huge ass plastic bag for out mountain of buys (me and JH ok, i really did not buy much) and a single One Piece paper bag for 4 socks!! The One - Piece paper bag is ugly lor so i asked for a Cath Kidston paper bag and he gave me two :)

And this is what i bought!On further inspection i noticed something amiss..

I had bought 2 tops in the exact same print and cut, but in different colour and size!! Am i getting old or what?

I bought the first top on the far left of the picture below in 2 colours!

 When what i should have done is hunt down the cowboy print tees on the far right of the picture below.

But then again the hunt for the tees were arduous. I was battling young to middle aged to old ladies for the browsing rights to the tees. Finding sizes in S is also such a feat already. My strategy was just to take anything in S size. And if i'm not mistaken i could only try 4 outfits at a time. With a snaking que to the dressing room, i wanted to pick only the best four. It must be said though that even though the dressing room que was long, the whole process was pretty fast and painless thanks to the many dressing rooms and efficient staff.

Nice tag on the front of the tee, talk about branding.

Each purchase of a Cath Kidston tee entitles you to a Cath Kidston fan. The tee is only RM 39.90 down from the usual RM 59.90 during the promotional period. The free fan is only available if you purchase at KLCC though. (Sorry Fahrenheit 88 buyers).

I got two pink and while polka dot fans and one white floral one.

Satisfying buying spree :) which unfortunately broke my face out in a rash! Too excited
