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.

Here are our top 3 favourites from the capsule VANS x Liberty collection -



VANS Era in Mountains/Army - (Clockwise from top left) Sifr Essential t-shirt, Monocle magazine, Sifr denim jacket, Komono Sunglasses, Vans X Liberty shoes, Jack Spade L/S shirt, Jack Spade camou structured pouch, Dr Denim chinos, Komono Magnus Watch

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.

To the Screening of : THE GREAT GATSBY

We really like being housed in a cineplex: We're always the first to know when new movies are released, and always inspired by the buzz that comes from big/good/innovative films. This time round, the one that is getting us all geared up has to be The Great Gatsby. Despite the varying reviews, we are completely sold by their over-the-top trailer. 
The glitz, drama, and extreme decadence of the roaring 20's is so captivating. While we're decades late, how fun to relive the era (in our 3D glasses no less) for one night.  To complete our inspiration, we've put together our best Great Gatsby ensemble for you: From the cutest art-deco necklace, gold leather tote, to the smartest suede shoes and handsome well-cut shirts.

And while you're at it, we found this super cute tutorial on grasping the Charleston dance. Did somebody say after-party?
