Wenger Sling Bag

20120406_154148

I’ve been trying to find a small compact little bag. Something that I can use as an alternative to a waist pouch. Particularly if I wanted to carry a bit more things than will fit in a waist pouch. Or a little heavier than can be comfortably held in a waist pouch. I finally found something. It’s this nice looking sling bag from Wenger, cost about S$42 from OG. Have you heard of the Wenger brand? I’m not very familiar…

In Search of the World’s Thinnest Wallet

20120312_171755

I don’t like thick wallets. Never did. About a decade ago, some friends gave me a wallet from Project Shop. It was made from some sort of micro-fibre like material that was thin, smooth, and nice to touch. Although it was not designed specifically to be ultra-thin, it was overall a pretty compact wallet. I liked the wallet very much. Alas, it had become worn out, and the colour had faded. I had to find a new wallet. Project Shop didn’t…

Jacket For $20

Fancy a jacket for $20? It’s a casual jacket I got from a Samuel & Kevin sale during my Lunar New Year shopping spree. Nothing terribly spectacular about it, but for $20, it’s still a bargain. In fact, I found myself jostling with so many other people at the wagon that day. Everyone was rummaging through the clothes to find the right size. Yes, as you can imagine, at these sort of sales, it’s usually mostly the extreme sizes (i.e….

Shoes For The New Year

I did quite a bit of last minute shopping in preparing for this Lunar New Year. For example, I only got my shoes one or two days before. It was a pair of Converse shoes. I also got Converse the last year. I thought the shoes look good, reasonably comfortable, and with all the promotional sales discount, where quite fairly priced too. Not sure how long I’d stick with Converse though, because all their shoes seem to be similarly styled….

STM Phantom Laptop Bag

Like many other things, laptop bags have gone from purely functional to become fashion accessories. One of the nicer brands, though not terribly common in Singapore, is STM. This is an Australian brand sporting laptop bags in various styles including messenger bags and backpacks. I recently got my hands on the small STM Phantom bag, which is designed to fit laptops with 13″ screens.

Levi’s Jeans At Under $40

This pair of Levi’s 514 jeans costs $219 in Singapore. Perhaps a little less with the GSS on, but probably it’s still going to be over $150. I find this horribly expensive to pay for a pair of jeans. I bought this very same pair of Levi’s Jeans at $39.76. This is just a fraction of what you’d have to pay in Singapore stores. Can you guess where did I get the jeans?
