While we're a little sad that there won't be anymore name-dropping of high street label H&M (Orchard Building) each time we return from a whirlwind overseas shopping trip, we can't help but be excited over their Southeast Asian debut, slated for September 3 in Singapore. The first five people in line will be awarded with a $250 gift card, and the first 300 will receive $25.

The 30,000 square-feet flagship store will span across three levels and will launch H&M's Autumn 2011 collection, a mix of camel, burgundy and pumpkin with a 70s style influence. Look out for chic blouses, chunky knits and even leather accessories.
