Singapore is a shoppers dream. It offers everything you need under one hub, and in some cases the shops are open for 24 hours. You name it, you get it. Orchard Road is definitely the prime shopping area in Singapore. It’s lined with exclusive malls that will make you shop till you drop. 

First and foremost: 313@Somerset offers an exceptional range of leading international and local brands that will leave you spoilt for choices. Once you’re here to shop, it’s impossible to not make a second trip down to shop again!

Ziggi Studio - Exclusive Menswear

Early in November I did a little research around fashion designers for men. I came across two key players one of which I covered here. A major contender  is Ziggi Studio an award-winning menswear brand.

I'm in this marketplace again to help a relative choose the right outfit for her other half. I will be looking at Ziggi Studio today.

I have noticed Ziggi Studio are very active on facebook, I will use there facebook for my first impression.   

Firstly I have to agree facebook is a great way to get yourself noticed however an active website should accompany this, for a complete professional finish. 

I like how a majestic tone is set from the start, the about us page says "Majestic menswear for the modern Maharaja" this statement is very appealing to me and sets the scene.

It seems the key player in this company is Creative Director Ziggi Akhtar, I really like how everything is published for us to see on the timeline and everything is fresh. I can see they are an award-winning menswear brand and rightly so.

It is a difficult market, pleasing most men is hard enough but making them come to terms with fashion is difficult. Typically speaking any man seems to be happy to turn up to a wedding in a pair of jeans and a shirt thinking its ok. 

Ziggi Studio is the brand that is successfully teasing the men to something new and exotic.

The cherry on the cake has to be Rishi Rich’s wedding Sherwani was made by Ziggi Studio.

I hope to bring you more soon...

You may ask yourself why we are featuring leg warmers on our couture blog. I can reassure you these are very special, coming from a mum who made her hobby into a business. 

Let's also remind our readers "Couture is the art and practice of custom dressmaking and designing" 
This ticks all the boxes! you will agree, you cant get more custom than these super soft super glam warmers.

I love the layering and the mix of cool and warm simply Oozes Couture.

Ladies's Best Friend - Handbags

Enough of outfits, it’s time for me to introduce to you to our best friend – Handbags. Women and handbags, we’re inseparable. It has turned into a necessity for us women, to don our outfit with a handbag. So, in this post, I’ll share with you my top three choices. 

1. Miche Bags
This is an absolutely lovely piece. If you’re going to don a plain single coloured outfits, this handbag will do the perfect magic for you to stand out. This will bring out the wild side in you and it’ll also spice up that dull single coloured look.  
Check out more items from the official website here : www.michebag.co.uk

2. Aldo
This piece itself is a beauty on its own. I’d advise you to tone down the accessories on yourself to allow this beauty to stand out when you’re carrying it. All eyes will be on you and this beauty. Such a lovely piece, not worth a miss! Check more here: www.asos.com
