Do you feel like time is never on your side?

The deadlines and appointments never seem to end. You're always kept on your toes, ever attuned to your watch. Even when the to-do list has all been crossed out, you are already panning out tomorrow's. Only midway through the week and you find yourself idealizing the weekend in all it's glory - Rolling out of bed later, having that picturesque pancake stack, in that new cafe...

Once you actually get there, you realise - You don't know how to savour it. Like how you allow your mind to drift off during the workweek, you are already dreading Monday, on a Saturday. You drift off in your private bubble of worries for the oncoming week. And so, here we go again.

The saying is you are what you think. We think that it is also true that you are what you wear. Once the weekend encroaches... let it. Make that first step by breaking out of that mind-numbing routine and replacing the usual form-fitting outfits with soft, comfortable pieces where movement is encouraged rather then restricted. And pick the pieces in bright pops of colour - Life is sweeter beyond black and white.



For him - Shirts by WeSC & Knowledge Cotton, Dr Denim donk chinos, Soludos espadrilles in blue ikat

Out & About : VANS x Liberty of London

VANS are our go-to shoes for brave mornings.

On days like these, instead of decking out in the usual fitted outfits (where you have to worry about every pinch of food you take), we pair loose-fit pieces with equally voluminous counterparts - Cuffed boyfriend jeans with an oversized printed cardigan; A denim outershirt layered over a worn-in t-shirt. We complete the look with a pair of chunky VANS thrown into the mix - The heavy silhouette anchors the baggy look perfectly, and the extra bounce it gives with every step scores you extra debonair points.

Denim Shirt As Outerwear

Ever been called a complete loon for donning double layers in Singapore?

When weather is on full-blast tease mode (in this case - torturous all-day-drizzling), it's hard to predict how much you should be throwing on without being one sloppy, sweaty mess by the end of the night. We're not encouraging reaching for the nearest double breasted suit, but rather breaking up the normal layering routine (the cardigan, anyone?), and playing it up with a an easy denim shirt.

It's the perfect layering tool.




For Him - Aiden shirt by Dr Denim, layered over a WeSC Alonso S/S Henley, paired with berms from Jack Spade. Shoes from Jack Purcell, and accessories from Komono, WeSC & Kiel James Patrick.




For Her - Dark Denim Shirt from WeSC, layered over a Twist & Tango Tiffany Dress. Classic 2750s from Superga, and accessories from Baggu, Komono & WoonHung.


Featuring new arrivals in store from WeSC, Twist & Tango, Jack Purcell & Komono. All products can be found at Rockstar, Orchard 22.

Out & About : Date Afternoon

SO you've been with your beau for 5 years now, and the last time you went on a 1-on-1 was... wait.
What do you mean you don't remember?

We say it's time to spice things up in the love department. And because its always so much nicer to wake up bright and early on your days off, we'd ditch the usual Date Night routine, and do a Date Afternoon. We're thinking lots of cafe hopping (we're singling out Penny University, Wimbly Lu & Tiong Bahru Bakery), swinging by Public Garden mid-afternoon (there's one happening this weekend!), and then winding down the evening at a Movie Mob screening.

For hot tea on Jeju Island -




Vacuum Insulated Flask from KLEAN KANTEEN.

These bottles do triple duty as a mug, a thermos and a bottle. Completely leak proof, and here's the crazy thing - it keeps hot drinks piping hot after 6 hours (long meetings?), and iced drinks for 24 hours.

Also, doesn't retain or impart flavours - so you can go from iced tea, to smoothies, and just imagine being able to have a little bit of your favourite frozen yogurt with you everywhere you go. Still not impressed? These bottles are getting rave reviews online. Google it.


For shuttling gadgets & iPads from Cafe to Cafe -


Pathway Folios & Heathered Sleeve for laptops from INCASE



We especially love the utilitarian options that the Pathway Folio offers. It provides complete MacBook protection and opens to a convenient stand with an ergonomic typing angle, and an external slip pocket lets you carry essential documents.

New in Store : Dress-down Fridays

The AFD from POINTER for ladies, newly updated with a woven rope-sole - best paired with our slouchy DR DENIMs


More from POINTER - (L) Corey T-Bar Espadrille for ladies, (R) AFD in Camouflage Print for the guys


Seeker IV in Blue Chambray for guys

If you only get to dress down once a week, why go sloppy? When paired right, casual can be extremely dashing, too.

We say - do casual with pride. The trick is to master the art of ying yang to styling - mixing and balancing contrasting elements (fitted versus slouchy, tailored versus drapey), and adding a pop of colour or print to an otherwise monotonous outfit.

We're also proud to have in this mix new arrivals from POINTER - acing casual-chic this collection by introducing natural elements in their line of otherwise classic sneakers. Sporty silhouettes are given a breath of fresh air with woven rope-soles introduced in place of rubber ones, and textured fabrics in a palette of earthy hues.

If you only get to do this once a week, make it a special treat for yourself.
