In conjunction with Mothers Day, Mimpikita, NelissaHilman, DippedRow, and Frankitas held a joint giveaway competition on instagram ; #HerClaimToFame. I tried my luck, as I always do with giveaways like these, and didn't win. But guess what, my sister did! Hahaha.
Dina's winning post!
So the winners could treat their mom to a shopping spree totalling up to RM1000, and even though I didn't win (lol), I still got to treat my mom to a major treat with these four coveted brands. Ibu is not the type to splurge, shop or keep up with the trends much, so I was happy to be an important part of her shopping experience. (Side note : so fun to watch a down to earth woman on a shopping spree!)
We got to MimpiKita at around 4pm, and met up with Nurul, Tati and the rest of the MimpiKita team, as well as Lina from Dipped Row and Nelissa from NelissaHilman shoes. They set up a cute little display for DippedRow, NelissaHilman and Frankitas, and told us we could browse the store for an outfit from MimpiKita. Ibu and I had fun browsing, and I was pushing Ibu to get something from MimpiKita's Lebaran collection because hello the prints are gorgeous! But Ibu had her eyes on a draped Baju Kurung set in red, which really did compliment her skin tone.
Ibu's top from MimpiKita.
Everyone was really helpful and friendly, helping Ibu with what to choose. The baju kurung needed a little bit of alteration done, and Tati was soo helpful in that department. I've heard MimpiKita staff we're super helpful like that, and now I can testify, top notch customer service!
Nelissa Hilman and Ibu are now shoe twins
Ibu is not a heels kind of person, so she was very happy to know that there were flat shoes in the range (which btw, are sooooo crazy comfortable). + they cater for slightly wider footed people, which is exactly what Ibu needs. She loved this black pair, and got to chatting with Nelissa about life. Upon telling Nelissa that she works in UM and studied there, Nelissa said 'Oh! I did chemical engineering at UM too!' And internally my jaw dropped because I had no idea, but you know I kept my cool. Im always fascinated by people who end up doing something completely different from their degrees. The likes of Vivy Yusuf and Nelissa gives me hope that if I ever end up hating my job and the degree Im pursuing, I can do anything I want if I work for it.
It was a super fun evening. I told them Ibu just recently hiked up Mt Kinabalu, and they were asking a lot of questions about that. Ibu was smiling really big, which is always a nice thing to see, and it was a fun bonding session with her.
Im really happy that we got this opportunity. I mean, who doesn't love a free shopping spree ? But more than that, Im so glad cause I do think Ibu deserves to be spoilt like this. She's a simple lady, and the most hard working person I know. Her motto in life is, 'Anything worth doing is worth doing right' and she gives her all in everything she does and goes for everything she wants to go for. She's not the sporty type but she conquered Mount Kinabalu. She's got a PhD, bakes her own bread, and tends to her own vegetable patch (we even don't have to but veggie's sometimes now!). My grandma always reminds me, 'Your Ibu is the best eldest daughter anyone could ever ask for' and my wan says she's so lucky to have Ibu as a daughter in-law. Clearly I have big shoes to fill in (and now those shoes are from Nellisa Hilman, aduihh) . I try to be half as good as my Ibu, but man, its not easy. In any case, I really do look up to her, and I'm so glad she got this treat. So thank you MimpiKita, Nelissa Hilman, DippedRow and Frankitas. My mom is a very very happy today.
Also, after our little spree, Ibu said, 'Oh, we have to stop by the shop to get fertiliser. And don't forget to buy something for your siblings'
Ibu keeps it real, beli baja after shopping.
I love you Ibu! And thats all for today guys :)
Love,
Mira
