...pledge ourselves that we would always shop to boost the economy. Regardless of recession, depression or war.

GSS

GSS - The 3 magical letters. (ok, i exaggerate). The annual Great Singapore Sale starts on the 25th May 2007, and ends on 22nd July 2007. Millions (i am not exaggerating here) of shoppers, both Singaporeans and tourists, will roam the island, searching for great buys and bargains! Oh, the GST Offset Package in July will come in handy, when most Singaporeans' wallets will be quite empty after the shopping. LOL.

Fashion Nation

Fashion Nation covers fashion on the Internet and blogosphere, including independent fashion sites, online fashion magazines, and the latest trends. At the same time, the Fashion Nation creators place emphasis on the fashion scene in Singapore, where they hail from.
Fashion Nation is a joint effort between two childhood friends, Dottie and Stephie, whose nine-years-old friendship has been strengthened through activities such as scouring through fashion magazines, discovering quirky vintage shops, and a lot of fast food. They grew up in the Land of the Eternal Summer, living as citizens of the Little Red Dot.
They’ve been saying that they will do this for ages, and now that they’ve gotten down to having a real fashion blog, they hope you love reading Fashion Nation as much as they love writing it.

The above is adapted from the Fashion Nation blog. Many people start fashion blogs due to passion for the topic/idea. But not many can keep it going. However, the contributors of Fashion Nation have not only done it, but have received very good feedback and response from netizens and fellow bloggers. Worth a bookmark!

Multi-label boutique Part 1

Multi-label boutiques began springing up a few years ago. It was one, two boutiques at first, operating in refurnished, restored shophouses in Haji Lane, Club Street, Ann Siang Rd. Then, all of a sudden, more and more boutiques 'pop' out in our little island.

Venue Asia, started out in the heritage of Chinatown, at Club Street. Opening its doors in April 2005, Venue Asia made a pioneering step in bringing in high-end fashion into Singapore. This created a media stir, and a trend for other retailers and entrepreneurs-wannabe to follow suit.

Shortly after the success of the first boutique, the second boutique opened at Palais Rennaisance, called Venue Berlin.

The creative juices did not end there. The birth of VBox - a container specially made to make it into a movable store for Venue's products. This innovative idea and design, spurn off many other companies to follow suit, as this is a very cost saving way of advertising, and it has proven to be very effective.

Venue Lab, a compact boutique in Heeren, opened in the heart of Orchard Rd, Singapore. The store is designed to look like a laboratory filled with sneakers, and designer wear. Cool.

Venue has also ventured out of Singapore, into Bangkok (Thailand) and Jakarta (Indonesia).
