Starbucks at Christmas

Posted on December 22, 2013 by bookjunkie

I Love the Designs at Ikea

Posted on July 14, 2013 by bookjunkie

I have a major weakness for pretty designs and colours. Ikea is so tempting with their fresh designs in punchy or soothing colours. I adore the shades they choose for their products and the clean lines. I feel like a … Continue reading →

Franc Franc: Exquisite Drinking Glasses

Posted on October 7, 2012 by bookjunkie

There’s a section within Franc Franc at Vivo that sells exquisite looking glasses. It’s a pity they are so expensive. S$34 is way too much but I just love the shape and it’s surprisingly light. I wonder if it’s glass … Continue reading →

The Scenic Route

Posted on September 27, 2012 by bookjunkie

I may complain that Singapore lacks nature and is just too urban, but sometimes I feel that the roads themselves can be a green oasis. You just need to find the scenic route. But when all that fails there’s always … Continue reading →

Posted on August 21, 2012 by bookjunkie

I was attracted by the pretty florals and spotted Cath Kidston designs at Tatty Marsh when we were browsing at Tanglin Mall. It’s one of the prettiest stores I’ve seen. All a bit too expensive though and I’m sure they … Continue reading →

L’etoile at 160 Owen Road: Lovely Setting, Disappointing Drinks

Posted on July 14, 2012 by bookjunkie

Service felt earnest at this pretty cafe said to be inspired by French style cafes in Japan. Disappointingly though, the food and drinks did not satisfy. Think my expectations have sky rocketed since trying out all the new idie cafes … Continue reading →

Posted on July 9, 2012 by bookjunkie

You’ll be greeted by screens displaying pictures of flowers as you enter The Flower Dome. Guess things like this give the place more of a Theme Park than a garden feel. Upon first view we were impressed. Found the Dome … Continue reading →

Posted on June 8, 2012 by bookjunkie

Had a lovely time at Oriole, which is just outside Somerset 313, although I’m afraid the air-conditioning was a bit too cold for my cousin. I on the other hand am a walking furnace so it was just nice for … Continue reading →
