Zalora X Topshop & Topman Launch Party 2015

A few weeks ago, I was one of the few lucky Shoppr ambassadors invited to the Zalora / Topshop & Topman launch event. Safe to say that I am incredibly excited to know that one of my favourite brands is now available on Zalora, easier for me & my shopping needs. :3

Rushed home after work, I got myself ready to attend the event in APW, Bangsar where I met up with Becca & Nadia from Shopprapp. Already they looked dress to kill, so were the other girls that were attending the event with me.

After registration, each of us were given a goodie bag and inside are little surprises for us to take home. There was a Macaroon, a Rm50 gift card from Zalora & also a gift from Topshop/Topman which I guess is different in every bag. I spy some shopping time for me on Zalora some time soon, do you?

It was nice of them to provide drinks and canapes for all guests to nibble on while they mingled.

My choice of drink, Absolute Mango with Orange Juice.
With drink in hand, it was time for this hermit to wander around and mingle. Though truth be told, I was merely hanging around with Pearl, Madeleine & Abigail from Shoppr because they were the only ones I know there.

While we were exploring the space of the warehouse, there were waiters walking around with trays of food. Embarrassingly enough each tray caught my attention because I had not have time to eat dinner so I was rather hungry. The vainpot in me however constantly warned myself against eating anything because it's messy and it'll be a nightmare to stain my dress.

Still, I don't know if it was obvious on my face that I was hungry or something but the wait-staff kept walking towards us. Literally the same one would appear no more than five minutes after approaching us. Funny.

Tastes like fried char siew pao. But with beef? 
Little bites of macaroni taco and roasted potato stack.
The atmosphere as a whole was quite chilled with DJ HypeEmBeats spinning amazing tracks in the background.  






Wandering around, I spotted something in the back that caught my attention. Several pedestals were lined up together with headsets & these odd looking things

WHAT IS THIS SCI-FI LOOKING THING?
Quite interesting eh?

Well it's a virtual reality that Zalora specially created just for this event. When you put this on, you get a 360 view of the entire venue before the glitz & glamour. All you need to do is put it on as demonstrated by my sister and then look around. What you will see is not a room filled with fashionable people but instead, a whole different atmosphere altogether. 

This is quite innovative of Zalora to create this specially for the collaboration with Topshop & Topman. 

With Madeleine, Pearl & Abigail. 
These girls are the few Shoppr ambassadors that I got to meet that night. They are literally the sweetest and most fashionable people that I've met in the longest time.

Also, I found out that night that Abigail is currently a student at MCKL. My old college! That brought back so many memories and there's even some that revolves around classes, specifically law & psychology. 

Squad goals. Teehehehe.
We even got to meet our very own Amber Chia and posed for a picture together. Initially each of us just wanted an individual photo with the supermodel, but she was approached by another photographer and invited us to be in the shot with her too. :3 She's so sweet and down to earth which honestly surprised me.

I even got to catch up with my hot babe, Melissa. Whom I have not met in months since we're both busy with our own things. 

This means we need more dinner & girl time! xp

A dress by no one. Shoes from Aldo which I love to death, even with it's near neck-breaking height.
Ten points to whoever that got that 'dress by no one' reference. I officially dub you to be an amazing person. 

But no prize because.... Yeah.

Finally, gonna end the post by thanking Shoppr for the opportunity to attend this launch. It's been pretty amazing to be considered as one of the ambassadors among many other gorgeous girlies! Can't wait for more adventures with the team.

Plus this has also given me a chance to get to know incredibly sweet girls when I otherwise would not have. Cause ya know... A life of a social hermit. :3
