There are so many apps out there that promise usefulness beyond your wildest dreams, but rarely deliver anything even close, that I’ve become a bit of a cynic when I visit the app store. These three listed below are my pick of recent downloads that I can’t do without, so worth sharing and, more importantly, worth supporting. Read More
…as seen through the hazy safety of an instagram filter.
I was in Mustafa a few weeks ago with my Ma. We seem to go every time she visits; partly because I need someone to come with me or I get sucked in to the void and in part because the nearest shop from her home in Scotland is a 20 minute drive away…and all they sell when you get there are stamps and newspapers which while useful, are not desperately interesting.

Tatler threw their 31st Anniversary Ball on Friday. It was held at the really rather fun and fabulous W Hotel on Sentosa and themed ‘Enchanted Garden’.
Their parties always do have some sort of theme to them.

I know you know this already, but I do love a bargain. The two-day UN Women’s charity designer sale, which happens annually in association with Club 21, was on yesterday and is happening again today. Prices start from $10. Designers include Marni, Max Mara and miles more. Most clothes have been worn but some were brand spanking new, price tags still attached.
I caught the tail end of yesterday’s sale just before they closed and all I can say is it really IS worth moving heaven and earth to get there today. It starts at 10am, which is in exactly 10 minutes time. Read More
