Find Luxury Fashions from Top Designers Around the World at Orchard Mile

December 3, 2015 by Kathryn 27 Comments

I think that combining more pricey designer pieces with simple bargain finds can create a style that always stands out, and choosing pieces with a classic look means that the occasional splurge is also an investment. I have a few favourite online stores I browse when I want to upgrade my wardrobe with a designer piece, and now I have one more: Orchard Mile!

Named after the famed Singapore entertainment and shopping district, browsing fashions at Orchard Mile is meant to be as relaxing and enjoyable as strolling through your favourite shopping district. With great looks from top designers including Jimmy Choo, Stella McCartney and Oscar de la Renta, there’s pieces to wow every fashion fan in this boutique.

I loved the pretty light green colour of the shirt and it looked like it would be an easy piece to dress up or down depending on the rest of my outfit. [Read more…]
