Rockstar by Soon Lee

Posted on by

Just the other day, after making a trip down to Orchard Cineleisure to purchase tickets for the movie, I had ample of free time alone and I came across this new shop, Rockstar by Soon Lee, that immediately attracted me.

I think it’s how clean the whole shop feels and the colours are very alluring, something that you’ll like to ‘live’ in, yeah, kinda homely too! It is also a array of products that constantly scream for my attention. I personally love the collection of shoes, oh, truthfully, my heart did skip a beat when I lay my hands on them, haha! The ‘soft like cotton’ bag in various colours (black/purple) and the tote bag ( I am such a tote junkie la), which I think it’s reasonably priced, you pay a little more and you get good quality.

The shop also has a good collection of reading materials, who can ever resist a Penguin Book, right? Plus I was greeted by Monocle magazine, it sure feels different when a book is physically in front of you.

There was a very nice lady whom I talked to while being in the store, I like how she didn’t make me feel like I was being ‘watched’ and yet she ‘took care’ of my queries whenever I had one. Even though I left the shop without getting anything but I know I’d be back real soon, tote, wait for me!

Rockstar by Soon Lee is located at Orchard Cineleisure #03-08, drop by soon.

Converse 100th Anniversary – Book Box Set

Posted on by


 

 

Converse is celebrating their 100th anniversary with a coolio limited edition shoe box set, though the celebration ended last year, but it is never too late to release these shoes. They will put out 1,000 of these specially made packs that look like a set of books, but within the pages lies a pair of original Chuck Taylors. So think extremely LIMITED EDITION!

This new release from the One Star is anything but simple: an elaborate mockup of a century’s worth of volumes that placed together reveal a multicoloured Converse logo along the bottom of the spines.  Upon further inspection, the “books” are actually rectangular slabs of cardboard with a circle cut into the middle, facilitating the placement of a pair of off-white Chuck Taylor All Stars. I must say that it is an interesting way of celebrating their turn of a centennial.

These babies has arrived here at Basheer Graphic bookstore, we have a 6 pairs in total, 2 red, 2 black and 2 white at size 5 (usa) or 24 (jpn) are up on bid and it is very simple to start bidding. You can email your bid in enquiry [at] basheergraphic.com.
Do include your name, contact number, colour that you are bidding for, bidding price and we’ll get back to you asap! Bid prices starts from $150!
For sure, the box is worth more than that! It’s worth your every cent.

All the best because I am also sending in my bid(s) soon! Haha!

Coco Chanel vs Coco Avant Chanel

Posted on by

this is the english version of the movie, called ‘coco chanel’, but as for the french version ‘coco avant chanel n° 5′. i am not sure if it’s the same plot but in different language or one is about coco herself and the other is the ever famous n° 5?

not much found about the differences of both the movies, but i presume one is about her life itself, from the her humble days to where she has established a name for the label she founded whereas the other is in a french setting, maybe somewhat nearer to the real feel of what she is (since she’s french).

coco chanel stars shirley maclaine, malcolm mcdowell and barbora bobulova while the french version stars audrey tauto, benoît poelvoorde and lisa cohen, to just name a few. 

“Coco Chanel” is the rags-to-riches tale charting the rise of one of the most influential fashion icons of the 20th century. From her humble childhood in a French orphanage, through her early days as a young dressmaker’s assistant, to her passionate and tragic love with a dashing Englishman, and ultimately to her success as a pioneering icon, “Coco Chanel” is the story of a glamorous woman who was hard to love and harder to ignore.”

- quoted from mylifetime.com

a friend mentioned that the ‘coco avant chanel’ would be released in singapore some time in august, so watch out for that. i am sure it’ll send another movie craze in the design scene. for the time being, we’ll have to make do with the english version first, well better than nothing. so be patient! 20th august to be exact!

anyone has an idea of where can i get this film?
(you know that you’ll be loved x100)

yes, as said, i’d do a detail post on lookbook. i can’t help but admit that i am officially hooked unto this site. i practically log in every other day just to check out on what’s the latest outfits, colours, styles or even brands.

the cool part is how people around the world come to this site to post their daily wear, so it’s like all the fashion magazines combined in a site. so tell me, how can i NOT love it huh? i also love how clean the site is, with very easy navigational panels. you can not only search through brands, different categories of wearable and even by the country these ‘models’ live in. so if you want to know the latest look in a certain region, tada, your wish is their command.

as i’ve said this, i am officially hooked, i see myself refreshing every now and then. the photos are just some of my favorite that i have seen, there are way more than just the 2 of them. but if i were to post them, i believe that this post would go on forever.

so check lookbook out now!
