Check out fashion, beauty and lifestyle goods at the Boutiques Fair
The twice-yearly Boutiques Fair is back this month with a charitable theme, where shoppers can give an optional entrance fee which will be donated to a local charity supporting women and children. Explore over 120 booths by Singapore-based and homegrown brands covering everything from home furnishings and beauty products to clothing and accessories.
Keep an eye out for Arete Goods, which has introduced new colours for its popular leather ballet flats, and the colourful new range of silk, linen and cotton pants from Matter Prints, whose prints have been created by regional designers. Shopping aside, treat yourselves to a manicure session at The Nail Social booth or grab a bite at Cedele Bakery Cafe. Nov 6-7 at #02-01/02 F1 Pit Building, 9am-6pm daily

And if you want to match your outfit with Barbie’s, the ready-to-wear capsule collection has got you covered with similarly designed pieces and tees with the Barbie doll motifs printed on them. 140 pounds (S$300), available on moschino.com and net-a-porter.com from Monday, Nov 9

Get a pair of hardy Timberland x Publish boots
The American footwear brand teams up with fellow American streetwear label Publish to produce two boot styles – the Chelsea ($279), suede ankle boots that come in two colours (beige and black) and have a narrow toe, as well as the Oxford ($239), suede lace-up boots that are chunkier and more rugged-looking, which are also available in the same two colours. And while these are classified as men’s footwear, we think their cut and designs are suitable for women too. Available in limited quantities exclusively at #B3-09 Ion Orchard
