I have this theory.

Perhaps Singapore Idol is not just mere a competition of how singing talents in our little sunny island battle it out; but rather..its more on how they're trying to prove how they top each other by showing how they CANNOT sing. It was a grotesque affair last night, let me just tell u that.

I was THIS close to mutilating my ears in the bid to save my sanity from em' ruckus.

Anyway, I digress. Here's this lil gem in the rough that I stumbled at North Bridge Road, The Icon.

The Icon is this whole new shing-dig that earnest fashionistas and the hard-core bargain hunter might wanna look out for. SIX whole floors of fashion, technnos and bling-blings goodness, there's bound to be a shop or two that'll catch your attention (not to mention your wallet). Stuff comes from countries like Brazil, Hong Kong, US and Australia..

Anyhow, I wanna talk about my new favourite store called Nitty Gritty.

Aptly named, if I may say so myself. After all, we girls are certainly one who fuss over the nitty gritties of everything, and wats more when it comes to wat we adorn. The mistress of this cool lil hip utopia is Grace, who truly knows her stuff. The feel of the shop is ecklectic and sweet and girly with a twist, which happens to be just like how I dig most of my wardrobe. It carries snazzy tops, Sienna-Miller inspired shorts and lace blouses, if your going for the Victorian look.

**Another thing to look for; its freaking BARGAIN CRATE! It has some really cute cotten slogan tees and chic skirt. Did you know I bought like 30 bucks worth of stuff on my first visit?! lol..and I jus had my eye on this chic blue tweed skirt today...

Also, dun forget to check out the bags and acessories. The bags kinda reminicesnt of Tomato Can's, but more personalised and way funkier. Lace, trim and all sorta materials you can think of to make the ultimate arm candy. :) Just one is enough to dress up a drab outfit. Patchwork has never been that cool til now, if you ask me.

Kudos to Grace's effort on her accessories..of which MOST are actually HAND-MADE by her. I,being a person of extremely low patience know exactly how difficult it is to piece jus 1 together. They range from simple mis-matched ear-studs (A must-have) to elaborate brooches and hair clips.
To die for, come on. Say it with me.

well, thus ends my report. Stay tuned for more updates! :)
