Hot collection alert
Hot off the press is news that local label Embrace Jewellery’s Lunar Collection is here. Featuring sterling silver with gold or rhodium plating to prevent tarnishing, these matching earrings ($85) and pendant ($88) work well for everyday wear. embracejewellery.com
Editors pick
We’ve found our favourite daytime bag: the Finlay Fringe tote ($299) from British designer Emily Cheetham’s handbag label Elyse & I. Made from a buttery soft lambskin leather, this roomy tote comes with a removable hand-knotted fringe panel. Available in an on-trend shade of cheery marigold yellow (pictured here), or in a muted, neutral grey tone.

This month we’re eyeing this gorgeous shirt dress ($165) from made-to-measure tailor shop CYC, featuring uber-cute Mickey motifs on a blue batik print. Styled in crisp, lightweight cotton, this comfy dress is the perfect piece to throw on for work or to run errands.
Affordable Luxury
Belgium contemporary jewellery brand Diamanti Per Tutti offers elegant yet wallet friendly designs that showcase ethically sourced, hand-set natural diamonds. On top of our lust list is the Allure ring ($312), which features a baguette shaped morganite gemstone surrounded by 14 white diamonds. #01-43A Raffles City Shopping Centre, 252 North Bridge Road.

Conscious collections
Here are three fashion launches that champion conscious and sustainable living.

Handmade in a small family-run factory in Bali, UBU’s fun and functional swimwear is made of fabric recycled from materials like old fishing nets. Our favourite? This white, reversible one-piece ($130) with a halter-neck tie and plunging neckline. ubuswimwear.com
#2 H&M
H&M’s latest Conscious Exclusive collection is to die for. We’re absolutely loving the voluminous silhouettes, deep v-necklines and flirty ruffles! Available exclusively a t H & M Orchard Building (1 Grange Road) from 11 April, the collection features sustainable materials like orange fibre, recycled polyester, organic linen and recycled plastic.
#3 Marks & Spencer
Marks & Spencer has rolled out over 50 footwear styles that are vegan friendly, including this pair of lace-up trainers ($79.90). Pair them with dark jeans for a classic look, or a girly sundress for weekend brunch.
