It is unusual for me to wake up early on Saturday but today is not an ordinary weekend. NIGO, founder of A Bathing Ape launched the highly anticipated Sanrio Baby Milo Store 2010 in Singapore at 11am today. Hello Kitty and Baby Milo made a special appearance at the BAPE store – in fact, they flew all the way from Japan! The queue started to form long before I arrive – lucky for me, I got first dips into the collection. I already knew what I want but of course, I was tempted to get more! By noon, almost everything was sold out - WOW! Everyone was only entitled to purchase two items. Judging by the success of the Sanrio Baby Milo Store 2010, I bet the Dr. Martens x Sanrio boots will sell like out cakes on 1st September. Mark my words.

Japanese are never late. Arrived on the dot, NIGO with Hello Kitty and Baby Milo.
Japanese fashion maestro, Tomoaki Nagao or NIGO, founder of A Bathing Ape (or BAPE®) will be in town tomorrow (28 Aug) to launch the Sanrio Baby Milo Store 2010 at Mandarin Gallery. NIGO started the cult label 17 years ago in Harajuku, Tokyo – and now, it’s an empire for flashy hoodies and hiphop favourites. He counts Kanye West and Pharrell Williams as some of his celebrity fans. Don’t miss this chance to meet the MAN and of course, shop the limited edition Sanrio and Baby Milo Collection from 28 August to 30 September 2010 at the BAPE Store®.

Meet & Greet with NIGO, Bathing Ape Founder in Singapore
YESTERDAY. I met a PRINCE. Haha, too bad it’s not a fairy tale that I could brag about. The Eco Art Parade of Jewellery 2010 is a travelling exhibition from Monaco to Abu Dhabi via Singapore happening from 28 August – 12 September 2010. His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco graced event on Friday night. The 35 exquisite jewellery pieces were inspired by the theme of the “Asiatic Hornbill and the U.A.E.Saker Falcon”. These beautiful blings will be auctioned off and 100% of the proceeds will go to the following charities: Foundation Prince Albert ll of Monaco, BirdLife International, Una Energy Children’s Fund (UNECF), Hafiz and a foundation selected by His Excellency Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al-Nahayan.
If only I could afford the blings, I could do my part for charity. I guess I’ll leave the bidding games to the rich men and tai-tais.
His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco and the rest.
My favourite piece – I want to wear this neck piece!
Just so you know, Uniqlo‘s +J collection is not going anywhere. The Fall/Winter 2010 collection will be hitting the 313@Somerset store in mid-October. Over 100 items will be available for this collection. The collection is inspired by the “fusion of couture and sportswear, sculptured, iconic silhouettes, distinctive cuts, sensuous materials, original and of high quality, and of the new variations on the +J classic core piece — the white shirt“. Visit my Facebook Page for the entire collection. Just a piece of advise, take notes on what you want and shop smart! Don’t get caught in the frenzy.

Goldheart‘s Sparkle with Glamour show at the Singapore International Jewellery Show 2010 last Saturday was all about the glamour. This time, Goldheart collaborated with local fashion designer, Keith Png who designed the four couture dresses specially for the show to showcase the four “Glam is Back” showpieces which I blogged about previously. Do watch the video below for the final walkthrough of the collection. And yes, glam is definitely back.
In conjunction of the Singapore International Jewellery Show 2010, Goldheart Jewelry interpreted the idea of SIJS’ theme this year - “Glam is back” into a four exquisite showpieces:Glam Chic, Glam Rock, Glam Classic and Glam Supreme. In addition, local designer Keith Png (in case you’re not aware, Keith is one of Singapore’s hottest fashion designers!) will be collaborating with Goldheart to create four couture dresses for each Glam showpiece – I can’t wait to see them! Give us a hint, Keith
Pearls spells elegance. Glam Classic reminds me of Chanel or Breakfast at Tiffany’s with its beautiful combination of Pearls, Round Brilliant Diamonds and White Gold. Priced at SGD 22,708 – this is the perfect tribute to Gwyneth Paltrow.
