Continually pushing the boundaries of fashion, fruit nut Jeremy Scott once again knows no limits with his new Adidas ObyO collection. The shining glory of the range are these furry funkers, aka the Teddy Bears. Who else would stick an entire teddy head on the tongue of their sneaker? And you thought he was crazy with his Mickey Mouse  kicks! No doubt these adidas will leave many shaking their heads, dividing opinions left and right, but kudos goes to Scott for doing exactly what ObyO stands for – originality by an original! Coming soon!

We all know how good the Panasonic Lumix LX3 is and you don’t have to visit Nookmag to  read about the new features, you can do that at the Panasonic’s site. 

I’ve been using the LX3 for some time now and up till know, it never fails me neither in Photography or adding on to my “hipster” wannabe look.

The problem is how to convince the “finance minister” at home on approving the purchase of LX5?  Maybe I don’t have to!  In conjunction to the launch in Singapore, Panasonic organized a photo contest & 3 lucky draws and offer chances for all of us to either win the LX5, buy it at 50% discounts or win some awesome accesories.

Visit Panasonic.SG to find out more.

Hi all, Greetings from Hong Kong. For your information, I’ve known Yankit for a while now and he’s been trying to get me to start my own beauty column here on Nookmag. I was a bit hesitant at first since I wasn’t sure if I’m up to it nor was I sure if it will be interesting enough. But since he assured me it’s just about having fun and sharing things that I like, hence here I am. So, this is Tiffany and this is my column.

I was cracking my head on what should I share on my first post, since it’s summer, I’ve decided to share some tips on how you can maintain a perfect make up throughout the day. Since majority of the readers of Nookmag are located in South East Asia where it’s forever summer, you must be doubtful about what a girl from Hong Kong can share but I assure you that during summer, the Pearl of Orient is just as hot and humid!

There’s upcoming collaboration between Dutch artist Parra and Converse (RED) campaign. The (RED) campaign aims to raise worldwide AIDS support awareness. Featuring Parra’s juicy cherry design on Converse Chuck Taylor High in light brown suede colorway. Coming soon at Singapore Limited Edt Chamber, Phone +65 6688 7012.

Tired Pony is a music group consisting of Gary Lightbody (Snow Patrol), Richard Colburn (Belle & Sebastian), Iain Archer, Jacknife Lee, Peter Buck (REM), Scott McCaughey and Troy Stewart. Gary formed the group out of his love for country music, and has described the group’s music as “country-tinged”.  The album also features Tom Smith (Editors), M Ward & Zooey Deschanel (She & Him).

Track 05: Held in The Arms Of Your Words is my personal favourite out of the 10 tracks. I aint sure but I gotta gut feel its Peter Buck working on the guitar.Normally such side projects from acclaimed artist are unique in its own way since they tend to try out different things but ”The Place We Ran From” sounds a tad conventional however conventional sells.

After a five-month long campaign involving thousands of recycled cans and more than a hundred registered entries, the dust will finally settle on the Red Bull Art of Can 2010 Singapore this Friday, with the culmination of a 10-day exhibition at *SCAPE, featuring 56 pieces of incredible works of art by Singaporeans from all walks of life.

The final 56 art pieces will be on display from 3 to 11 July 2010 at The Gallery located on level 5 of the brand new *SCAPE, the latest youth hangout along Orchard. Entry is free. The winning pieces will be announced during the by invite only gala premiere of the Red Bull Art of Can 2010 Exhibition this Friday, 2 July at 7.30pm.  

A cute pocket-sized digital camera that takes you down memory lane. Instead of racing with technology, the x:version does not boost a high resolution CMOS sensor but a 1.9-megapixel image sensor and five colour modes, capable of snapping up retro and “artistic” square images. What’s more amazing is the video feature. At 320X240 pixels and 8fps, the x:version takes movies without audio that reminiscent of 8mm films. Nothing high-definition but that is the charm of it.

Measuring merely 53mmx23mmx19mm at 21g, this handy gadget fits on a keychain, small enough for you to bring it wherever you go.

Comes in Pink, Brown, Black and White (white is only available at thirtysix) Picture and Information courtesy of Jimmy from thirtysix / 8Storeytree ]]> http://nookmag.com/x-version/feed/ 0 http://nookmag.com/the-sloane-elizabeth-robertson/ http://nookmag.com/the-sloane-elizabeth-robertson/#comments Wed, 30 Jun 2010 01:30:11 +0000 Jing http://nookmag.com/?p=2864

Just when everyone is going banana over the Gen. 4 Iphone & busy upgrading to IOS4.0, Apple quietly launched the New Mac Mini, roughly half the size of its predecessor, spot a featherweight of just 3 pounds while the cover is machined from a single block of Aluminum which is similar to the Macbook & iMac and most awesome is the fact that the Mac Mini is now the first Mac ever to include built-in HDMI. ( Yup, you can know surf, play and watch youtube on your 49 Inch LCD TV )

The Orangutan House in Malacca was set up in 1992 as the studio-gallery of Charles Cham, the first art gallery to be set up in the Jonker Street area. This is his atelier where he creates his paintings and T-shirts designs following the return from Europe to his hometown. Since then, it has become an iconic landmark in Malacca.

Charles Cham’s contemporary paintings are based on the eastern philosophy of Yin and Yang, with two paintings on one canvas, each facing the other in the opposite direction. He uses figures and faces to express his ideas which are sometimes political, sometimes satirical and often humorous.
The Orangutan House is listed in many travel guides including Lonely Planet, Rough guide and other numerous other art and tourism publications.

The good thing about being an independent store is that they are unconventional and they basically do anything they want , whenever they want.

Some of the items are at a whopping 80% off and since they didn’t mentioned when the sales will end, I reckon it will be a good idea to drop by 34 Haji Lane right after work today.

Tips: Rub shoulder with Aaron, the store manager and he might just throw in some advise on what’s the best deal. ( If you still don’t know who Aaron is, shame on you! )

Once upon a time, there was a boy who adores milkshake and ice cream. He would save up his daily pocket money just to curb his cravings. But, he has always faced a dilemma “small, nice but way too expensive” vs “big & affordable but average”. 13 years later, he decided to fulfil his dream and open Once Upon a Milkshake (OUAM), that aims to provide premium ice cream milkshake at a non premium price.

Jing had chanced upon OUAM on a hot afternoon. It is pleasing to find a good after-meal milkshake that satisfy her sweet tooth, and at the same time, not an overwhelming addition to the lunch.

Now, who says only google can do that on techy cameras and meddle around with their map applications. the 360 Lomography Spinner Camera spins one round and capture everything around you on any 35mm flim a frame more than 4 times longer than a conventional landscape picture! Check out the Spinners doing their spin snaps and lookout for it at Thirtysix/8storeytree when it arrives. **Hint* It’s gonna be like hotcakes*

The fixed gear bicycle is the simplest of human powered machines, and legions of riders have discovered the joy of the “fixie.” To those in the know, 42 x 12 is a gear ratio, and a demanding one at that, but this isn’t a book about equipment, rather an attempt to get under the skin of riders risking life and limb in pursuit of their passion.

42 x12 — The Cult of the Fixed examines the global repercussions of fixed-gear and single-speed bicycle culture. Through contemporary observation and the collaboration of those on the inside from Taiwan to New York, London to Tokyo, 42 x12 gives a unique insight into what’s going on at ground level.

The brand hopes to earn a reputation in using vibrantly printed retro fabric and emphasising on great feminine styles that flatter all body shapes.

Recently in Singapore we can see a trend that most of the sport fashion shop would display a fixed gear or leisure bikes in their showcase area. This shows that riding is the hottest thing to do this season. To look good while riding, Adidas team up with Brooklyn Machine Works to re-develop a classic cycling shoe from the adidas Originals 70’s archive. Featuring a large Brookly Machine Works logo on the tongue with leather in a colorful mix of silver, red and turquoise. Japanese based VA will have these in stock on the 15th of May.
