Of Boutique and Hair Salon ;)
It’s Monday again! How has the weekend treated you my dear friends? As for me, I spent the day yesterday at a boutique and hair salon! Definitely a girl’s type of day eh? *LOL* Irenelim Fashion has finally opened its doors to the public in a brand new and chic store smack in the busy area of Bandar Puteri Puchong. The online business must have been doing well until they are expanding to a physical outlet. 
Bravo!

I dragged Saucer along to visit the newly opened store to check out its latest dresses and offerings. I loved their colour theme of purple! Very bright and vibrant.
The Signboard as we entered
As it was the opening day, there were lots of pretty flower bouquets decorating the shop, as well as the inevitable Maneki Neko or Beckoning Cat at the cashier counter.
Lilies!
Maneki Neko welcomes you
Sunflowers and orchids!
The store was pretty spacious and the dresses were neatly arranged without making the patrons feel cluttered. I loved the fact that they didn’t try to cram too many clothes in the store, like some other boutiques, which would make you feel suffocated especially when there are more customers around.

I saw a display of accessories too, which are only available at the store because I didn’t see them before online.

Pretty belts
While I browsed through the store looking for something nice, Saucer took his own sweet time playing with his Iphone on this comfortable couch. The couch was just outside of the changing room, so it was pretty convenient too when I wanted to ask for his opinion after I changed. He just had to look up, smile or frown, then look back down to his Iphone. *LOL*
Comfortable couch
Dresses #3
Saucer spotted something unique hanging on the clothes rack nearby and asked me to try on.
Dresses #4
It was this silver/grey dress hanging on the front.
Silver dress
This rack of clothes are all new arrivals which are only available at the store. You won’t be able to find them online and the stock is very limited! The silver dress that I was trying on? They only have one piece in the whole store! What do you think of it?

I ended up not getting this but another one. (Will show you picture next time 
) I loved both dresses actually, but I had to watch my wallet as I was going to spend on something else later too!
My new hair!
Right after the boutique visit, it was a hair salon visit! I was going to perm my hair! Truth be told, it was the first ever time I permed my hair, ever! It was Saucer’s suggestion since he thought I look too plain with straight hair for all my life. *LOL* And I was open to new things anyway, so I went ahead to a hair salon nearby and asked for a digital perm. Look at me while I was having my hair perm – like alien! I took this pic and uploaded to Twitter and Merrynlaughed out loud the minute she saw it!
Digital perm
Then everyone was asking me how I looked like after the perm! I actually didn’t take a nice picture of my hair after the perm as I didn’t bring my camera out. So, I actually took these pictures early this morning, before I left for work! Yes, they are fresh from the oven *LOL!
My new hair
OK, I know it looks weird on me, and I haven’t really got used to it. But tell me honestly what you think! But if you say it’s not nice, I’m going to have a heartache cause I spent so much on it. OK, honest opinions nonetheless!
From the back
witch’s new hairdo!
Happy Monday everyone!
