Don't Upset the Rhythm (Go Baby Go!) by Noisettes

While browsing around HMV last night, this song started to play. I started to snap my fingers with the beat, and before I knew it, I was already sort of dancing. I hope nobody saw me. With that said, have a happy, dancey weekend everyone!

Weekend retail therapy

I don't think I'll be buying those Band of Outsiders shoes anytime soon. I'm not really feeling very extravagant at the moment. In the meantime, this tote bag from Japanese bookstore Kinokuniya and espadrilles from Muji will do.

Italian Touch

I am extremely excited about the launch of a new book entitled Italian Touch, a joint effort between Italian fashion journalist, Donatella Sartorio and the iconic Italian label, Tod's. The book features photographs of different Italians, young and old, enjoying the company of family, friends and even pets in various settings, ranging from historic locations to the charming countryside.

I was fortunate enough to have been invited to the official launch of the book tomorrow, September 4, as well as the official opening of the remodeled two-storey Tod's boutique at the Paragon in Singapore. If there are any Singaporean readers of this blog, do let me know if you'll be there as well.

Band of Outsiders at Surrender

This is not good. Not good at all.

Earlier today, I found out that Band of Outsiders is available in Singapore. The brand, along with other labels such as Thom Browne, Neighborhood and Gitman, is carried exclusively by the boutique Surrender.

Well, so much for the shopping ban I. I can already tell my bank account won't be happy.
