New labels to love
Hot on the heels of Zalora, online shopping portal Lazada has just launched their own in-house label, LZD, featuring a range of cuts to flatter Asian body types and utilizing cooler fabrics for our humid Southeast Asian climate. We particularly like the metallic-toned Slim Fit Jeans ($31) and the acid-wash denim Midi Skirt ($17). The refreshed online fashion section also includes new UK brands Rock and Religion, Dead Lovers and Neon Rose, as well as boho-chic label Free People from American fashion giant Urban Outfitters. 

Glambue Bamboo
It’s the time of year again, when we dust off our pretty table settings in preparation for the flood of festive dinner parties. If you’re looking for some tableware that’s a little different, check out Glambue, a newly launched range of eco-friendly bamboo bowls and table utensils, with prices ranging from $20-$40. The brightly colored pieces tread that fine line between rustic charm and modern chic.

A-head of the curve
We've always been a fan of local online jewelley store Chainless Brain and we were intrigued to see that they have just released a range of handmade headpieces that are perfect for that swanky Christmas cocktail party or bohemian soiree. We particularly like the bronze-hued Pink Feathers ($42) headdress and the tribal-themed Gypsy Warrior headband ($45). 

All In Control
New local clothing label Controlled Commodity has just launched with a cool, streamlined range of men’s shirts and tees. The style is fuss-free, borderline utilitarian, with straight cuts, prominent pockets and a muted color palette. We like the range of basic crew cut tees, with a washed-in vintage look and made of breathable 100% cotton for those steamy Singapore nights. Prices are affordable, with t-shirts starting from $18 and shirts from $49.
