Soak in some joie de vivre of midweek midnight shopping this Thursday. Read on to know just how...

Your eyes gleam when you see stacks of fresh new clothes on hangers. When someone talks of contemporary Italian culture, you really think of striding down streets of Milan with shopping bags laden with designer icons like Prada and Gucci. Talk of Karmic bliss in Bali, and you actually dream of getting a deal on aquamarines at half price. Just like Becky Bloomwood when she feels she's been on some starvation cure, and now she's going to gorge on tiramisu with double cream. Whoever's a longtime fan of author Sophie Kinchella Shopaholic books will know exactly where I'm coming from.

No doubt, Becky's addicted to shopping in the chic flick Confessions of a Shopaholic, but we don't despise her for it. Instead, we relate to her, because which woman hasn't given in to the siren song of a mannequin calling. The pull of a good bargain is always a powerful thing. A late night session of retail therapy is always welcome. Come Thursday, the 13th of May, Kimaya is hosting a Midnight Sale to unveil their designer collections at special rates between 8 pm and 1 am. Whoever said, midweek midnights are for a cozy snug didn't know what they could be in for.
