Paul Smith The Multi-Stripe MINI Exhibition

Hi Huneybees,

 

It's 2am and I was in town with the girls, Peiyun & Valentine watching Mirror, Mirror. I didn't want to go home and since I've been dying to catch a glimpse of the Paul Smith Mini Cooper S, Valentine and me walked over to Hilton Hotel to check it out. 

The car was originally designed as part of the Great Brits minis. The 86 striped, 24 colour car appeared at the 1997 Tokyo Motor Show, and inspired a run of limited edition minis. The Mini Cooper S was made famous by the movie "The Italian Job", where the actors drove the car to hide stealthily in alleys and escape chasers.

This is the Mini Cooper that's inspired and printed on many Paul Smith bags and wallets like the ones below...

 

The exterior of the car is painted with the signature Paul Smith Multi-Stripe. The attention to detail continues on the inside with a lime green lined boot and glove compartment and instrument gauges made by a company called Smith, changed the engraving to read ‘Paul Smith’.

The headights are aready extinct! I'm looking at a piece of history!

The mini has been on many adventures including a tour of the US traveling to San Francisco, Las Vegas and Grand Canyon and finally ending up in Los Angeles. The car also attended the 10th Anniversary for the opening of the Dubai store in the Middle East in 2011. And in 2012, the Paul Smith Limited Edition MINI embarks on its first tour of Asia.

All Paul Smith and Mini Cooper fanatics, come on down to Hilton Hotel to catch a glimpse of  the Paul Smith Mini Cooper!

Social Media Week in Singapore

Hi Huneybees,

Social Media Week just passed us by and boy, was I busy all week, attending talks, mingling and making friends. Phew! Why can't they make it Social Media MONTH?! Any hoo, here are some photos of the party events I attended....

Tonight We W.E.D. meant Tonight We Wear Emerging Designers and what better why to express it by wearing one of Jen Su's design?!

And darling Issac was there to support this fashion event.

Met Issac's friend whose also a designer and his works were for us to wear and parade around for the night.

Lots of fashionistas were present that night looking their fashion best!

Here's a stop motion video of the works from the emerging designers.

Took a pic with some of the designers. Stay tuned to my blog for their individual lookbooks.

Fun with props and the cuties!

The next day, there was a #TweetJams party at Lucky 13 @ TripleOne Somerset. It was a mixer party and we were all entertained by Sixx the local band. We all got the chance to bring home our very own chosen designed silkscreen T-shirts and I got down to printing the last design myself! Who said Social Media Week is just all about talks?! There's fun after all that!

Lucky 13 is a cosy little pub. Definitely a place to go chillax after a whole day of stressful work.

The stage was set and SIXX performed while I got some drinks..

Some SIXX merchandises.

Hit + Run was the amazing company that allowed us to silkscreen a T-shirt.

The Silkscreen machine.

Setting the T-shirts to dry.

Here's me getting my T-shirt silkscreen-ed.

The guy behind some of the cool designs.

So here's the final product of my t-shirt.

Spaceman across my left shoulder.

Hit + Run logo on the right side.

And of course a SIXX logo on the back.

Finally, after all the talks about Social Media and mixing around, it was time to unwind, DETOX to get things out of our system and also to bid Social Media Week adieu. It was the Social Media Week's Detox Party at Avalon, Marina Bay Sands.

I met a couple of fellow bloggers at the event and I was so happy to be able to be part of this last event of the week.

Marina Bay never fails to entice me.

In Avalon, if you look down, you will find Pangea!

Left my mark on the 8-bit wall.

There was even nostalgic games to play!  *Jump, Jump COINS!*

Tidbits for us. It's really a clever idea, helped me to get conversations started!

Thank you Social Media Week! I've learned alot and made a lot of friends.

Can't wait for next year!
