BURBERRY ION- BLOGGER FIELD TRIP.

Okay so I was still, according to BagaholicBoy, ‘foaming at the mouth’ after receiving the news that we’re actually going to have a one in a million chance to meet Christopher Bailey-- And then we (Fash-E, RTT, BB and WottonCool girls) were told that we’re going to have a tour around the boutique, that made me foam even more! It was not 31 Rue Cambon but i imagined it to be as fantastic.

The motive of the tour was to pick an outfit so we could wear it on the actual event (live blogging at Burberry) and to do a fun ‘promotional shoot’ to promote the event. (Will blog about it on a separate post) That didn’t exactly happen but we had so much fun and I even more fun bragging about it. Hah. I mean, when will I ever get the chance to sit in their VIP room again no? Or when will I ever have the chance to try on ten different trench coats that’s worth 3k each (!) in an hour?! Since that awesomely-iest day, I’ve been dreaming about Burberry for almost a month.

All I need now is to attend a Burberry show in London next February and life would be a full circle moment. Ok, fat hope but I’ll keep on dreaming and writing to Oprah so she would send me there!

TIFFIN CLUB, SINGAPORE.

If you have an exquisite taste but no liking for the formality of fine dining, Tiffin Club is the place for you. The restful multi-story, which includes an outdoor sitting area and a loft cum workspace above the main dining place, will provide you with endless tranquility throughout your time at Tiffin.

Menu of tasty tapas, English pies, crisp salads, home-style sandwiches and Sri Lankan curries is complemented by a wine bank of carefully selected and imported alcoholic grape juices to catalyze cross-cultural cravings and conversations.

I believe Tiffin is the only place in Singapore with ‘vending’ wine dispenser (which is really affordable compared elsewhere), great for wine tasting! I haven’t personally had any of the main course or appetizers but it looks promising. Best of all, it won’t burn a hole in your pocket.

Tiffin club is inviting you for a unique happy hour, on 17th Dec, 6pm to 9pm featuring a photography contemporary exhibition by Swedish artist Agneta Ekstrand. Please RSVP to massi@thetiffinclub.com or text 98120586.

LOUIS VUITTON ACCESSORIES S2010, MENS.

When was the last time I bought a Vuitton bag? Hmm, never. (Does a pre-loved LV globe shopper tote counts?) The last time I stole something from my sister’s bag collection: Not long ago. No doubt Louis Vuitton is ‘in our blood’, (board the train in the morning and you’ll know what I mean) the perception that luxury equals to Louis Vuitton monograms, we need to get pass that. There is so much more to Louis Vuitton than just the logo. (Tell that and you’ll offend my aunt and gay cousins)

I fell in LVoe (yes, let’s fall in love with a bag for a change) with the taiga two-way bag.A briefcase and bagpack all in one, a bag perfect for the indecisive. I carrassed that bag erlier today and damn it feels so good!

The taiga was introduced in ’93 and was only available in 2 shades of Grizzli and Grey-- With the introduction of new colours this spring, deep dark cobalt blue, cool steel and natural authentic beige. The question is, how much is it? I wouldn’t want to know so I can keep on dreaming.

Dear Marc, I will work for bags.

UNIQLO PURCHASES.

Previously during 313@somerset UNIQLO store opening, I got for myself a few cardigans and pullovers that I love so much! No, this is not an advertorial. If you don’t have any UNIQLO in your closet, you wouldn’t know what all the hype is all about. I’ve never come across a clothing company so dedicated to its customer and its clothes like UNIQLO. Very affordable and you get what you paid for in terms of quality. If UNIQLO maintain its price point and quality, I would be shopping there all my life, I swear.

UNIQLO-'TOKYO TO SINGAPORE' SHOW.

The largest UNIQLO fashion show to be staged outside of Japan-- The fashion show featured UNIQLO’s Winter Collection 2009 and exclusive first look at Spring Collection 2010. Look out for the ladies shoe in their Spring 2010 collection; I see thigh-high boots and Jil Sander-esque pumps on the runway. It should be an interesting purchase this spring. (Until the live-journal girls starts buying and wearing them with their vintage bags lah. )

You know how I detest sitting behind everyone else; like monkeys hovering over people’s head trying to get decent photos. While the front row (on the opposite side) were busy rummaging through goodie bags, we were still fixing our camera’s setting. We didn’t get good pictures, but we certainly had one hell of a good time!
