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 : What's your Flavour?

Have you swung by the Plain Vanilla Pop-up in store yet?

It's only been day 4 of the pop-up... and the response has already been overwhelming. Aside from stocking a mainstays menu of their signature favourites, PV Bakery has also whipped up 3 exclusive flavours made for us that have been selling like hot cupcakes. If you haven't managed to get your hands on them, we advise you to swing by early. Best time to come down? When our doors open at noon. Guaranteed freshness.

So inspired by these cupcakes that we thought we'd pair each flavour with a certain look. So tell us - What's your flavour?

Out & About - Building your Wardrobe

A little stylish bird once told us that the trick to looking effortless is to make the bulk of the tough decisions in the fitting rooms, to deliberate real seriously before making a purchase. A pair of pants in the most current shade of blue, but does it work for you? A studded top, so on-trend, but do you feel like an imposter in it? That's rule #1 to building a solid wardrobe - you've got to get your foundations right.

Once the foundations are in place, piecing together outfits is a breeze. You are now pairing pieces you know for sure will work in every bit in your favour, and dressing up in the mornings don't seem to be the nightmare that you recall it to be. Why, you are now pairing pieces together that would have never crossed your mind, ever, before.

We like building our wardrobes with classic pieces, and throwing in a few unexpected twists; Bright punches of colour, quirky prints, or small details that make all the difference.


For Her :




A classic drop-waist dress in an unexpected burst of teal (Rockstar x Al&Alicia Ashley Dress), paired with a cheeky clutch from Alphabet Bags and a pair of Superga 2750s (Crochet, in Pastel Green).


For Him :




Knowledge Cotton plaid shirts, t-shirts, henleys & twill shorts, paired with a Classic 2750 from Superga in Grey Sage.


All products can be found at Rockstar at Cineleisure. Don't forget, SUPERGAs are now going for 15% off in-store - until 4 August only!

Out & About : Pool Party Brights

We don't know about you, but as much as we don't love the year-round scorch and humidity we get over this side of the island, we don't exactly loathe it either.

We prefer adopting the glass half-full mentality in situations like these - So the heat can get overwhelming, more reason to indulge in an ice-cold beer or two at lunch. We have less things to worry about, like catching up on fall/winter trends, or stocking up on winter essentials. Plus, there really isn't anything to complain about legitimately enjoying a beachside cocktail (because no human being has found pleasure in sipping on a Piña Colada during winter) any day of the week, all year round.

Did somebody say pool party? Bring it on!




For Her *clockwise from top left* : Ace & Jig Turnaround Dress in White, Loreak Mendian Ikebukuro Bermudas, BAGGU shopping bags, WoonHung Tusk Bracelet, Gina Stewart Cox Solo Nugget Bracelet, Loreak Mendian Stripe Tank, Rockstar x Al&Alicia Poppy Shorts, Pointer Corey





For Him *clockwise from top left* : Franks Shorts, Knowledge Cotton T-shirt, Jack Spade Shirt, Timberland 2-Eye Boat Shoe, Knowledge Cotton Linen Shirt, Jack Spade Berms, Kiel James Patrick Lanyard Hitch Bracelet, Taylor Stitch Button-up Shirt

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.

Out & About : The New School Family

Velcro sandals? Floral diaper bags? Shapeless jeans? Hold up!

No, not you two. You are not going down that route! Do not throw all inhibitions out the door! The New School Family is all about keeping things under control, even with a little tot around. Dressing for comfort - It's the key to rocking a look, and not letting an idealized version of a look rock you. Heels and oxfords? Let's save that for another occasion. Mum and Dad have got places to go now, and comfy sneakers keeps the family happy the entire day.





Who says mums can't wear Chukkas? This new momma is one cool chick and she knows it. Pair prints (Ace&Jig Turnaround Top in Mango) with prints (Rockstar x Al&Alicia Polka Dot Skirt), and top it off with rugged leather Chukkas (Pointer's Caz in Mushroom). Keep it unfussy with a casual Baggu Duck Bag (sailor stripe) & Jack Spade Leather accessories, and don't forget to throw in your Marshall Major Headphones for good measure.





He is a dad who rocks a diaper bag like no other. This cool pappy keeps things unfussy in a Knowledge Cotton Thin Stripe Tee and Dr Denim berms, and his son matchy matchy in a soft Alternative Apparel Toddler T-shirt. He rocks a Paseo (in camou) from TOMS - the latest style that still packs the do-good factor of a regular TOMS, but out-lives them with a thicker rubber sole. Strappy baby Supergas allows easy slipping on-and-off, and all that mess is mysteriously hidden in a SoYoung Charlie Diaper Bag (specially designed with dads in mind!).


All products can be found at our Orchard 22 boutique.

Out & About : Play Tourist for a Day

Pick a day - Go offline with your other for a full 12 hours (we dare you to). And we mean offline; no facebook / instagram / twitter. You have to be serious about this mini expedition, so be your own conscience!

Play tourist for a day with a film camera. Snap away – skies on windows, old alleys, a crack in a beautiful tiled wall.

 FOR HER - Dress strategically. Al&Alicia Poppy Print Blouse (latte) & a Loreak Mendien Pirata Pants (twill blue) keeps things breezy. Ensure drinks & dips stay cool in a SoYoung Cooler Bag, and be kind to your feet with all that walking with TOMS' Classic slip-on (faded tropical). 

 FOR HIM - Keep things interesting with a Sifr Henley Ice Wash Shirt (olive) and Jack Spade Shorts (navy), complete with a multi-tone Timberland Heritage Boat Shoe (earth tri-tone). Don't forget that analogue cam - La Sardina Lomography (moonassi edition).
