Day One Of Fab's Big Singaporean Shop-a-thon!

POPSUGAR Fashion AU — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 21:32:00 EST

Day one in Singapore...gosh, where do I start? After surviving an itinerary packed to the brim with shopping, shopping, a fair bit of eating, and oh, some more shopping - I am one pooped little Fabette! Here's a synopsis (the in-full reports are coming soon) of my first day on the ground in Singapore. After a traditional breakfast (cue spicy noodles, fish curry with anchovies and raw egg soup - not for the faint of heart, or stomach) we directed our retail radar to ION Orchard, think Westfield, but on steroids. All the big labels were there to greet us - Miu Miu on our left, YSL on our right, Valentino straight ahead - AMAZEBALLS in short. Camilla, Australia's own kaftan queen and Singaporean shopping maestro, took us to a few of her favourite haunts before we discovered Zara. With only twenty minutes to browse, try on, and buy, it was a mad-cap shopping race against the clock.

Heart palpitations subsiding and bags in hand, it was time for a quick lunch before dashing to Haji Lane and Arab Street in the Muslim district. Beautiful printed silk ateliers, shisha pipe sellers and ceramics stalls lined the streets, and we watched whilst Camilla got knee deep in inspiration for her upcoming collections. From there it was a hop, skip and a jump over to Vivocity for retail on a grand scale. More Zara as well as global faves Forever 21, Marks and Spencer, Topshop, Desigual, River Island, as well a Aussie brands like Witchery, Ripcurl and Cotton On, all housed under the one enormous roof. After a quick stop at Marc by Marc Jacobs (hey, it was on my way home), I'm calling it a night. Wanna hear about tomorrow's shopping adventure as it happens? I'll be keeping you in the loop via Twitter. G'night!

Global Watch: Marks and Spencer Featuring Dannii Minogue

POPSUGAR Fashion AU — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 12:16:45 EST

The new Marks and Spencer lineup has already made its debut in print internationally, and now, it's hit the small screen. This Spring 2010 ad campaign stars Twiggy, singer VV Brown, Dannii Minogue, Brazilian model Ana Beatriz Barros and British model and TV personality Lisa Snowdon. The focus of the advert is the versatility of the pieces showing how they can be an investment for day or night. Its a fun campaign with a cool soundtrack and it definitely got me in the mood for Summer brights. Pity we're heading into Winter! Check out the upbeat video below.

Global Watch: Dannii Minogue For Marks and Spencer?

POPSUGAR Fashion AU — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 15:05:34 EST

Dannii Minogue has been tipped to be the new face of British chain Marks and Spencer, making 2010 a huge year for the younger Minogue. Having recently announced her pregnancy with spunky ex-rugby player Kris Smith, this latest modelling venture ties in quite nicely with rumours that she's also set to launch her own clothing line.

Often experimenting with different looks for her judging duties on Australia's Got Talent and UK show The X Factor, Dannii has favoured local designers Yeojin Bae, J'Aton and Lisa Ho on and off camera. A fashion collection with friend and business partner Tabitha Webb is expected to be launched later this year, though no word of a maternity range - yet.
