distant connections
Friends really do come from all places

Met up with my Dutch ex-colleague couple days ago and he brings me gifts! haha Yea, i know you can get Amstel beer at most supermarts, but hey at least he was cool enough to lug it back from Amsterdam coz he thought we should meet up for a drink and chat when he drops by back in SG.
He's gonna stay a while more before returning back to the wintry weather of Amersfoort next month. Bet you there'll be more drinking to come, ha

Icy cool looks for the chic(k)

Photo-works are crisp...i need some blazers and casual suits

Those soft cashmere sweats are lovely and on sale. I absolutely hate the fact that i'll never wear puffy winter jackets in SG...unless i work in a frozen foods packing industry... (nice plaids too)

Preppy looks for London's opening

On a similar note, MUJI has just opened in SOHO, NYC.

Wha? - ugh

Sometimes, a designer tries (or does not try) too hard
In what is the most ghastly rendition of houndstooth on footwear so far, this collab footwear with AnotherEdition does not know whether to be a classic 574 with a Scottish-feel or an UGG...resulting only to create "UGH" reactions and an entry for ugly shoe of the year award

Above pic/info via SneakerNews dot com. While not the best subsequent link after that ugg-ly news, be sure to check out Yu-Ming's new venture. Well, "new" is relative, since i've only just discovered it not too long ago. I've been pretty slowly creepin' out of the loop, but its nice to see someone from the original group of sneaker/streetwear crew on the up. Originating from the Kicksfinder site, YM brings the news as well as helps you source for 'em on the 'bay or the interwebs.
Go check the site out and drop him a line
