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!

March = Celebrate Women Month

Hi Huneybees,

March is the time to celebrate WOMEN and I was treated to a shopping time at the Reebonz Space. On that day, branded bags, shoes, clothes were on for a bargain. This event was held in conjunction of Skin Inc's  promotions and also to promote for VanityTrove.

OK! Enough said. I bet thousands of you are tempted to look at the things on sale at Reebonz Space right?

The Reebonz Space is a private, members-only luxury shopping lounge that is set to reinvent consumers’ shopping experience. It is a physical representation of the online luxury shopping club, Reebonz.com, which has made shopping for luxury fashion and lifestyle services a hobby for many aspirational high-fashion consumers.

The open space and jazzy music in the store makes one so relaxed the moment you step in and when you see the many bags "lingering" around. It's already gotten you all worked up, you wana just hand the cashier your credit card!

Here, you can find brands like Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Prada, Fendi, Coach, Kate Spade, Valentino, Balenciaga, Gucci, Chanel, Christian Louboutin, Longchamp, Marni, Marc Jacobs, Miu Miu, Paul Smith, Yves Saint Lauren and the list goes on forever and ever! Every corner is a little surprise and most of the time, you will be able to find that bag that you can't find in stores anymore, at a fraction of the original price!

Every girl must own at least a pair of Louboutins!

And even hubby got to shop too!
