[SHOPPING REVIEW] O.W.L Eyewear Concept Store @ Sunway Pyramid

Hello fashionistas!

With the Geek look being in trend this season, Korean Fashion spectacles are the rave now. Remember how our favourite oppa Kim Soo Hyun rocked the spectacles in the drama You Who Came From The Stars as Professor Do Min Joon? Many other Korean idols rock those large-framed spectacles flawlessly. Spectacles, which had previously been classed as purely functional, were transformed into an ultra-chic fashion accessory, and the geekier, the better!  In fact, you might even notice that some people's glasses don't even have lenses, they are purely for decoration. #hipster

Last weekend, I was fortunate enough to attend the grand opening of O.W.L Eyewear Concept Store at Sunway Pyramid. This is where you can get stylish Korean Inspired eyewear! Wearing glasses has never been this cool. O.W.L is a Korean Inspired Eyewear brand newly founded in 2014 to provide prescription glasses, sunglasses and non-prescription polarized sunglasses at all in one price to the style savvy. It perfectly blends culture of excellence with attention paid to details to create a perfect alchemy between aesthetics and technology - they are more than just glasses, they are works of art. I have been having lazy eyes since I was small, and my mum always wanted me to get a pair of spectacles, which I had been procrastinating. So I was so excited to get myself my first pair of spectacles at O.W.L!

You can easily spot O.W.L Eyewear Concept Store at the Lower Ground floor of Sunway Pyramid, just opposite to Daiso!

You will be spoilt for the 2000 choices of eyewear design available at O.W.L. The quality is ensured because they deal directly with the source of raw materials and manufacturers from Korea. :)

The most unique part about O.W.L is that the glasses are not kept in glass casings, but in open racks! You can choose and test the glasses until you find your perfect pair. And you can take your time because there will be no sales companion escorting you until you ask for advise. I feel really comfortable in this way, as I always take very long to make decision hehe. And we all love playing around with the glasses to try different looks, don't we? ;)

O.W.L = Original We Love

Stylish glasses, at incredibly affordable prices!

Their all-in-one prices: Frame + Lens = for only RM169 to RM269 wow!

Each individual frame from the O.W.L Glasses range is crated like an art piece to satisfy the demands of young adults and fashionistas who are constantly looking for something that is outstanding and different. They come in a variety of designs and colours, catering to various face shapes so it isn't difficult to find a good frame that will fit you perfectly. O.W.L divided their glasses into 4 big categories based on their variety of designs that suit people of different age groups.

Executive - command authority with metallic hues and classic shapes

Fashionista - Make a big statement with looks fresh off the catwalk

Rebel - Create new trends to call your own with unconventional styles

Weekender - Take the day in stride with bright colours and fun patterns

So, what O.W.L are you? ;)

The chunky tortoise shells caught my eyeballs immediately.

My favourite pink!

.....and even wooden frames! We were told that this type of frames are selling like hot cakes now. They are really special and pretty, but I dare not wear them everyday to classes because I will be getting too much of unnecessary attention haha. But if you are bold enough, you should totally get this!

Here's my dear Carinn and I trying out matching glasses, hers in silver colour, mine in golden colour. I really love the classy gold details at the side but too bad the frame size is a little too small for my face :(

I somehow knew that I would pick Rebel because I am #swag like that hahaha no la kidding. I love glasses come under the category of Weekender as well, I love how the playful colours of the glasses can brighten up one's outfit effortlessly!

As usual, I was overwhelmed by the choices they have and I had no idea which one to pick. So I asked help from Kenji, one of the staff of O.W.L. He told me not to worry because whether you have a round, oval or square face, turns out there is a science to finding the right pair for you. The general rule is to select glasses that are opposite of your face shape. For example, if you are like me having a round face, don't select round glasses. Pick something that is rectangular or geometric to provide balance. This is very important because the right pair of glasses enhance your appearance! Kenji also told me that glasses with bigger frames would suit me better.

Kenji and Carinn both think that I look better with the specs on the left, because the lighter colour tone of the frame makes me look fairer overall. However, thinking that this is my first pair of glasses, I wanted to opt for a pair which can match my daily outfits better.

And so....I decided to get the one on the right! Which is this one! How do I look? :)

After I chose the frame that I like, Kenji arranged me for a quick eye test on the spot to determine my power. 

I was then brought into a small room to do a more comprehensive eye test, which lasted about 10 minutes. The optician was really kind and professional as he did a good job adjusting the glasses to my comfort level after knowing that it was my first time getting glasses. He also said that I can come back to the shop if I ever feel any discomfort with the glasses afterwards.

In just 2 hours, my glasses were ready! I was really impressed by how efficient their service is. The glasses come with a case and spectacle cloth. They actually have both hard and soft casings but I chose the hard casing because I think it provides better protection to my baby glasses. However, you can check out the soft casings too because they are really cute!

My favourite maroon colour hehe. It comes under the category of Rebel, priced at RM169 including the frames and the lenses. I wear the glasses only when I am using laptop or during lectures, they are comfortable and I don't feel dizzy at all! The frames are feather light and claimed to have excellent muscle memory for their original shape. Bend or twist them, they will spring back as good as new! Isn't that cool?

A big thank you to my dear Carinn for allowing me to tag along on that day! I had so much fun shopping together with you. Check out her blog too and see which pair of glasses she got for herself! :)

If you were to ask me what distinct advantage that O.W.L has over its competition, I would say that it is their excellent customer service. Good customer service is the lifeblood of any business. You can offer promotions and slash prices to bring in as many new customers as you want, but unless you can get some of those customers to come back, your business won't be profitable for long. What makes a customer stay? It is more than what you say or do for your customers. It is giving customers a chance to make their feelings known. At O.W.L, the staffs are knowledgeable and observant enough to notice customer's preference. They give you ample time to make decision, they don't follow you everywhere you go - but that doesn't mean that they are not ready to serve you - the moment you need help, they are always there. Thank you O.W.L for a wonderful shopping experience. I would definitely recommend to my friends and family!

Nuffnang Food Festival at Sunway Pyramid

I swear it was just a casual Saturday afternoon. 

Weekends, to me, are rather boring as I seldom go out and whole day of studying at home really freaks me out. So as I was instagram-ing last Saturday, I came across Sean's picture saying that he is going to the #NNFoodFest held in Sunway Pyramid! My first reaction was ''Aww you are going! I want, too!'' And surprisingly, Sean gave me a call immediately and asked if I wanna join him. You can see that it was a really last-minute decision because I even went with shorts and flip flops. Haha oppps. :p

If you are wondering what is #NNFoodFest, it is the Malaysia's first ever tw(eat) fest held by Nuffnang. What you have to do is to have your smartphone with you, and tweet/instagram/facebook to eat! I must say that this is a really smart move of Nuffnang. Nuffnang gets to reward us for being faithful Nuffnangers all these while, and the vendors get to promote their food plus getting additional likes on Facebook! It is a win-win situation! Smart eh? See how strong the influence of media mass to the teenagers nowadays.
*Nuffnang is the world's leading Blog Advertising Community.

Here is a list of all the vendors taking part in this event. Spot your favourite? *wink*

Sean and I reached Sunway Pyramid at around 4.30pm and we can already feel the heat when we haven't even join into the crowd!

Look at the amount of crowd on that day!

Smartphones, smartphones everywhere

After registration, Sean and I quickly joined in the crowd and started our food journey. We started by approaching the nearest stall to us - Crush Food. I don't own a twitter account so I got my free blended fruit juice by liking and sharing their Facebook page. Whereas Sean tweet and hashtag #crushfood. As simple as that!

Jackfruit twist and banana pineapple from Crush Food. Such a refreshing start!

Absolute Thai kebab

The big Maggi Kari mascot and the happy little girl posing with her balloon.
:p

                                           

Pork soup from Restoran Sek Me Choy

Introducing the creative Nasi Lemak Popiah! From Zuo, Publika.
They wrap the rice, sambal, eggs, cucumber in the popiah, creating Malaysia very own popiah.
*Proud Malaysian*

Pan mee from Paradise Group Malaysia.
They were so generous to give us such a big portion!
Plus point is the soup base was simply delicious!
Probably the best pan mee soup base I have ever tried. (Y)

Mashed potato and chicken chop from Niko Niko Onigiri.
It looks simple but the Japanese-style mashed potato was so yummy!

Pork burger *Non-halal*
It is bite-size and it looks so cute with the small flag on top of it. :)

                               

        

The lady at Ninja Joe's counter kindly explained to a Nuffnanger
how to tweet/instagram/facebook to get their food sample.

Best drink to relieve our thirst - dragon fruit ice blended from Vineg Plus.

                             

And also the already very famous Chatime! Students'all time favourite!
They have different rule from the other vendors as we have to take a photo
with their exclusive Chatime frame and instagram the photo.
So we did and we got one Chatime each! Yay.
*ignore my messy hair. Ahhhh.*

We were already very full by then, so we decided to reward our tummies with some desserts. Ohhh. The guilty me. All the girls diet plan epic failed on that day because of all these attractive foodssss. :( 

I would say that this is the BEST FOOD I have tried on that day.
Ice cream from Cielo Dolci.
I had the 70% Belgian Chocolate and Sean had the Tau Fu Fa.
Yes you didn't hear me wrong, Tau Fu Fah ice cream!
 I also spotted other special flavours such as Nasi Lemak (I wonder does it tastes spicy?),
coconut gula melaka, Kedondong, salted caramel, etc.
I am a Tau Fu Fah fans and I totally fell in love with their ice cream!
Their 70% Belgian Chocolate was equally nice as well. HEAVENLY NICE.
But too bad we can only try once. :(
I googled for their outlets but I can't really find them.
Anyone has any idea where can I find Cielo Dolci outlets in KL?

N brew Nitrogen ice cream.
Wondering how to make ice cream with liquid nitrogen?

*One minute science class now*

Liquid nitrogen, which has a boiling point of -196C, is used for instantly freezing food and drinks, or creating an impressive cloud of vapour or fog when exposed to air. 

If liquid nitrogen is added to liquid such as an ice cream mixture, it cools the liquid rapidly while it boils away and produce a cloud of vapour. The rapid freezing produces an ice cream with particularly small ice crystals which has a very smooth texture.

:D

This is the liquid nitrogen!
We were so impressed by the cloud of vapour produced that me and Sean quickly insta video it

Pretty puddings from Sweet Montage.

Crepe cake from Humble Beginnings.
The portion was a little bit small and I can't really remember how it tasted.
I probably still find the Nadeje crepe cake in Melaka the best. :D

Durian and original flavour puffs from Kee's Creampuffs.
This is definitely a YES for durian lover like me. Haha.

Our last stop was Crazy potato!
The queue was crazy as well that was why we leave it the last.
There were 3 different toppings and I chose the cheese one.
French fries French fries! *Omnomnom*

So happy that even there were lots of Nuffnangers on that day,
there were no pushing and cutting queue.
(Y) *Peace* (Y)

Because we love candid shots. Hee. 

I spotted the very famous My Burger Lab as well but we decided to give up on it because the queue was just. too. longgggg. The charm of the little black burger. There were just too many stalls and we didn't get to try all the stalls. What a pity. Partly because some of them were too kind and generous and they gave us a very big portion each. :O We felt so full that we decided to sit down and chill and listen to a talk on food bloggers' photography skills. Sean was so lucky that he was the first person to win a free book of food vouchers by giving an enthusiastic shout to the emcees! Woohoo! The food vouchers can probably last him for a year. :D

                                   

Sean interviewed by the two handsome emcees, Kevin and Matthew.

Another fun part of this event was that we get to bump into our friends! By scrolling through instagram, Sean realised that his high school besties - Ivan was also here at the NN Food Fest! Such a coincidence. :)

Sean and Ivan chit-chatting happily while enjoying the food.

Guess who I met? Tee Wilee - my high school senior!
It has been ages since I last saw her and she looks so gorgeous now. :)
Btw I look like a giant beside her LOL.

Special thanks to my company of the day - Sean!
Thank you for bringing me there :)
You can click here to visit his blog. Very worth-reading! :)

Because it was a last minute decision, I didn't insta their photo beforehand so I didn't get the limited edition badge and macaroons during registration. Aww. :( And also after the event I realised that they were giving out free power bank! Aikkss. Moral of the story - last minute won't do you any good. Lol.

This was actually my second time joining Nuffnang activity as I am still a newbies Nuffnanger. But I totally enjoyed myself on that day and I appreciate all the hard work put in by the Nuffnang committees to make this event a great success. Happy stomach, happy me. :D Thumbs up to Nuffnang! And thank you! *bows* Will definitely join awesome event like this again next time. :) How was your weekends readers? I hope you enjoyed yours too!

Love, Eunice.
