Wrist Candy
SunMoonRain, by local designer Shabnam Melwani, has launched its first fine jewelry line Raw Luxe. The collection of pretty, delicate bracelets are mainly in a grey and silver color palette with materials sourced from all over the world—rose gold from Bali, rough and polished gemstones from India and moonstones from Africa. Prices start from $49 from their online store.
Swim Stars
Tom & Teddy has launched a new range of men’s swim shorts featuring bright colors and quirky patterns like speedboats, scooters and penguins. The designs are fun, but the shorts themselves are also quick-drying and offer UV protection. Prices start from $94.95. Available at Tanjong Beach Club or through their online store.
Leather Up
Fashion boutique Whole9Yards has just released a new range of travel-themed small leather goods. The Voyage Collection features whimsical floral designs, applique flower motifs and peach and pink tones. The line includes leather luggage tags ($49.90), eye masks ($29.90), cosmetics pouches (from $89.90) and leather travel wallets ($129.90).
Zalora in the flesh
Online e-retailer Zalora have opened a brick-and-mortar pop-up shop, featuring a curated range of fashion brands like River Island, Mango, Burton Menswear and the Zalora label.

There are four themed zones: Summer, Work, Street and Party, plus a dedicated Men’s zone, and prices are low, with many items going for under $100. Open until end Jan 2015.
