singapore: shopping

i picked up a few little goodies in singapore. generally i don't buy a lot of clothes over there as the aesthetic doesn't suit me, but they have a few stores that i really, really wish we had in melbourne: muji, kinokuniya and marks and spencer (purely for the coarse cut seville orange marmalade, which is the best marmalade ever).

i stocked up on basics from muji (btw, muji singapore is miles much better than muji new york because they have clothes).



i usually never buy home stuff when overseas, but this time i got a cotton quilt cover and pillowcases, again from muji. they very reasonably priced and have that nice washed linen look.


i was very restrained in kinokuniya and picked up only two publications. the new york store actually has a much better selection of japanese home/craft publications.




and the marmalade! my two bottles got confiscated at the airport because i tried to do the right thing and put them in my hand luggage so they could be inspected in australia, but i forgot about the no liquids rule. boo! well i hope someone took them home rather than throwing them in the bin.
