Lifestyle store Weekends opens at VivoCity: It houses a total of 12 brands from Europe and America, ranging from Kate Spade’s girly notebooks and clutches to Jonathan Adler’s retro-modern homeware. We were there at its official opening and loved everything we saw, especially the cool balloon lamps, which adds a whimsical touch to home interiors (one roughly costs about $400). #B1-10 VivoCity
