Not your fair weather friend!

Never knew there is such a great variety of umbrella for gentlemen!

Watch next video on James Smith & Sons (London) from Finch Quarterly and you will know what I mean.

I am sure most Singapore men wouldn't bother about spending on a good umbrella not to mention one that completes the classic look.

I remember buying my most expensive umbrella (folding) in my entire life from an old established brand/store known as Liu Fu Ji from Taipei at SGD$35. I owned it for over a year now and its still serving me well.

The great thing about this umbrella is that it doesn't flip upwards, especially during heavy rain. THis usually happens when you but cheap umbrellas.

So invest in a good umbrella. A plain black, brown, checkered should fit nicely in your briefcase. Carry it in style and look whos "singing in the rain"!


New kid in town

I made a trip down to the new Marina Bay Sands this afternoon. No. Not to try have a hand on the jackpot. Not to mention I never had Lady Luck with me!

I was there to check out a new shop called Uomo Colleztion (hope I got the spellng right!) that is carrying RTW Artioli shoes. Its interesting to see good quality shoes on Singapore shores. According to URBAN (Straits Times), this is a Moscow-based company.

Adjoining Uomo is another shop under the same management - Stefano Ricci. Another italian shoe label. But sad to say the range of mens shoes for both brands is rather limited. But I am pretty sure we will see more in future.

Besides shoes, both store carry suits (bespoke also available), accessories to fragrance.

So if you plan to visit Marina Bay Sands, be it for the casino or the sampan ride, check these stores out!

That's all for today. Time to hit the sack. Ciao!!
