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?


✿ Inspired by Lavender Honey




The Lavender Honey lady is ultra girly, classy and sweet - all at the very same time. She picks substance over fluff - preferring to pay the extra premium for modest, understated pieces that in return lasts her a lifetime. Her sass is in her extra attention to details, and she's not one to hide her indulgence for the finer things in life.

You can smell the Rose Pistachio girl from a mile away. She oozes an abundance of energy and a thirst for adventure. Always dressed for comfort first, her personality shines through her quirky pairing of pieces and her lighthearted take on life.
