Beyond The Vines Turns 10 with Their First-Ever Floral Collection Featuring Liberty Fabric

Hi Huneybees,

If you’re a fan of floral prints and functional fashion (like me!), here’s something to get excited about. Beyond The Vines is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a gorgeous limited-edition collection in collaboration with the legendary Liberty Fabric!

This dreamy capsule collection marks Beyond The Vines’ first foray into florals, and what better way to do it than with Liberty’s iconic prints? Known for their intricate floral patterns and 150 years of textile artistry, Liberty’s prints meet BTV’s signature modern, utility-first designs, resulting in bags and accessories that are not only beautiful, but oh-so-practical too.

 A Modern Garden Dream

With a glossy PVC finish and whimsical insect motifs sprinkled throughout, each piece feels like a stroll through an enchanted garden; fresh, functional, and fabulously floral. At the heart of the collection are three standout Liberty prints:

• Clio: A delicate 1930s-style ditsy floral, inspired by Liberty’s early woodblock printing.

• Archive Gingham: A translucent check layered with hand-painted florals where vintage meets contemporary.

• Nell, Annie & May: A flowering meadow filled with outlined blooms and charming imperfections.

Shop To Fly To London & Catch Style Tips On Fit For Fashion

Hi Huneybees,

SHOPPING IS GREAT!!! Especially when you get the chance to fly to London whilst doing that! Ain't it amazing?!

It was a privilege to be invited to Eden Hall, the British High Commissioner's residence yesterday for the launch of the first Shopping is GREAT Britain campaign in Singapore. At the event, a new reality TV programme - Fit For Fashion was also previewed as we sat down with 2 of the contestants.

After a brief welcoming from the British High Commissioner HE Antony Phillipson, Sylvia walked us through the whole idea behind the Shopping is GREAT campaign and there was even a light hearted demonstration that sent us all chuckling. For a moment, I missed Mr. Bean. :D

The Shopping is GREAT Britain campaign highlights the UK’s position at the cutting edge of international fashion and its reputation for trendsetting, innovation, design and creativity. The British fashion industry is worth £26 billion to the UK economy and this is largely due to the universal appeal of Britain's high quality branding, rich textile heritage and the tireless innovation of British designers.

Simply choose from the participating brands mentioned below and you will receive a contest form to fill in when you have spent SGD$100 or more from the period October 7 to November 16. You could win a shopping trip for 2 to London, including return flights with British Airways, 3 hotel nights at Lancaster London and shopping vouchers.

Participating brands of Shopping is GREAT:

• Ben Sherman
• Bowers & Wilkins
• Cath Kidston
• Clarks
• Coast
• Dorothy Perkins
• Fred Perry
• George
• Karen Millen
• Kenwood
• Marks & Spencer
• Miss Selfridge
• Neal's Yard Remedies
• Oasis
• Penhaligon's
• Robinsons
• Ted Baker
• Toni & Guy
• Topman
• Topshop
• Warehouse

Happy shopping and whilst at it, why not check out this new TV programme and you might pick up more tips on how to style with your purchases from these stores?

Fit for Fashion is a reality TV series, sponsored by the GREAT Britain campaign, produced by Imagine TV Group in partnership with Fitness First and in collaboration with Fox International Channels (FIC).

The show revolves around 12 contestants from a wide range of backgrounds who will face a series of fitness and fashion challenges that promises to push them to their limits. Over the show’s 10 episodes, they will be guided and motivated by a team of celebrity judges which include Louise Roe (Host and British fashion journalist), Christine Bullock (Trainer), Mitch Chilson (Trainer) and Todd Anthony Tyler (Fashion Photographer).

At the launch, we were joined by Jerald Foo (27) from Singapore and the youngest contestant - Ming Wolf (19) of German/Burmese descent. I was attracted to Ming the moment I saw her and I was loving her confidence. But little none is that it was joining the show that gave this timid little girl her confidence. Tempted eh? Wana watch the show?

Fit for Fashion supports the Shopping is GREAT Britain campaign in Singapore and will be broadcast across Asia on StarWorld from October 16. More details of the show can be found at http://fitforfashion.tv/ 

So be sure to start shopping and catch up on style tips! :)

Tomorrow Is The LAST Day For UT POP-UP! Singapore

Hi Huneybees,

Last night, at the preview of UNIQLO's UT POP-UP! Singapore, hundreds of guests from media, corporate partners, VIP guests as well as Noise Singapore's artists and fans turned up for a fulfilled eyeing of fashion and music.

Upon stepping into 72-13 (Mohamed Sultan Road), there was a huge installation right in the middle of the hall, exhibiting over 1000 UTs (Uniqlo T-shirts) in 400 designs. I would imagine that would be how my wardrobe looks like if I were to put them up piece by piece like that. Maybe I should have my own fashion exhibit too! LOL!

And at the bottom of the installation was a preview of the UTs that you can find or about to find in the UNIQLO stores.  Of course, not to be missed would be the Hello Kitty and Disney ones...

Make-up maestro - Clarence Lee was making his "decisions"....

Guests also had fun posing at the UT Camera Booth, where their animated photos were then projected live as well as uploaded on the global UT website. Go crazy, gather your friends and have fum like them....

Don't forget to head on to level 2 to bring home some UTs. There's a wide selection of UTs available for sale from $16.90, while special t-shirt designs by local designers from Noise Singapore were displayed for purchase at $15 each. I got myself a couple and all I can tell you is, it's SHOPPING TIME!!!

Designers : Ly Yeow, Qi Xuan and Candice Phang (Left to Right) in front of their designs sold at the UNIQLO X Noise Showcase.

Here's also some of the All time favourite UTs (Andy Warhol & National Geographic) as well as the unreleased Keith Haring UTs for males and females. They are all sold at $16.90 each there...

Be sure to head down to Uniqlo UT POP-UP! tomorrow!

More photos can be viewed in my album here.

Shuttle services are available from 313@Somerset (Somerset MRT Exit B) and City Hall MRT Exit B in 10 minute intervals from 11.45am to 8.30pm with the last drop off at 10pm.
