PinCe La Vi Bar and Restuarant – Singapore

Well would you look at that. Suddenly it’s THURSDAY and we’re in Singapore. Best not  to wonder too much  about the particulars  — or about anything at all, really.  Let’s enjoy the skyline and sip soothing,  anesthetizing things all  day. And remember: when it’s imaginary,  it’s not irresponsible!

From Moulin Rouge! to Babygirl, 11 Essential Nicole Kidman Performances
Nicole Kidman can do it all. The 58-year-old Australian actor, who graduated from rising star and tabloid fodder to one of the industry’s most respected heavyweights, has, over the course of her more-than-four-decade-long career, shimmied her way through exuberant musicals, captivated us in spine-tingling horror, dazzled in prestige dramas, and set our pulses racing in pacy thrillers. Best of all, though, for every more conventional, awards-friendly turn she’s delivered, there’s also been a big, bold swing that takes both audiences and critics by surprise.

The 7 Biggest Takeaways From Netflix’s Victoria Beckham
In some ways, the new three-part Netflix docuseries Victoria Beckham is a kind of sequel to Beckham, Fisher Stevens’s four-episode ride through David’s tumultuous career. It turns the lens from the footballer to the Spice Girl-turned-fashion mogul he fell for, and gives her life the same biopic treatment. But in other ways, it isn’t; with its firm focus on the Victoria Beckham brand, it’s more akin to a fashion documentary.

Saoirse Ronan Is Joining Paul Mescal And Harris Dickinson In The Four-Part Beatles Biopic
Back in the spring, the long-running rumours were finally confirmed: four different films about the rise of The Beatles are officially on their way. The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event will be directed by Oscar winner Sam Mendes, and star four of the most in-demand young British and Irish actors working today as its central quartet: none other than Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Saltburn’s Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr, Babygirl’s Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, and Gladiator II’s Joseph Quinn as George Harrison.

10 Best Black Tailored Coats That Will Never Go Out of Style
Few pieces work harder in a wardrobe than this classic
With the impending arrival of cold weather (finally!) it goes without saying that coats are on our mind, and of course we have taken it upon ourselves to find the best winter coats for Autumn/Winter 2025. Whilst there are plenty of amazing new season coat trends to get you inspired, there is one coat we simply cannot live without – a polished black tailored coat.
Whilst this style of coat isn’t exactly ground breaking, its a style that can be over looked. Autumn/Winter’s shaggy faux fur coats and long patent styles may be a fun addition to what can feel like a gloomy winter wardrobe, but a tailored black coat is my forever go-to. Whether you’re looking to tame busier prints and fabrics or simply searching for an evening coat to take you through party season – you can’t go wrong.

If You’re Dealing with Oily Roots and Dry Ends, You’re Probably Missing This One Step
Rediscover the simple ritual your hair’s been missing
Oily roots and dry lengths and ends is one of the most common haircare complaints—and it is one that has plagued me for as long as I can recall. As a teen, I would wash my hair daily in a desperate attempt to ward off that greasy, slicked-down look, but would often to spend my lunch break shaking a bottle of talc onto my scalp (this was well before dry shampoo became a bathroom staple).
So you can imagine my surprise when, just last week, a solution to this long-standing problem was presented to me—one so simple, so obvious, yet never mentioned to me in over a decade of being a beauty journalist. The solution in question? Hair brushing.

Your Hands Might Be Giving Away Your Age—Here Are The Expert-Approved Tips To Fix It
The skincare step everyone forgets
We spend a lot of time and money to ensure that the skin on our face looks and feels as youthful as possible. We have rigorous multi-step skincare routines, which include everything from the best vitamin C serums to the best eye cream for wrinkles. And we book in for treatments aimed at targeting the visible (and the unseen) signs of ageing. And yet, our hands, where the skin is thinner, more vulnerable and more likely to show our age, might get the occasional rub down with hand cream—if we remember. However, this area of our body needs just as much attention as the skin on our face and neck, which is why it’s a good idea to introduce a handcare routine.

How a Vanderbilt Heir Turned a Family Heirloom Into a Fine Jewelry Line
It all began with a 13-carat emerald falling into a dish of butter.
Just picture the scene: The Vanderbilts were hosting a high-society outdoor wedding when a brief moment of chaos ensued after a 13-carat Colombian emerald popped out of its ring setting. The stone came from a brooch once belonging to Edith Vanderbilt—a dedicated philanthropist married to George Washington Vanderbilt II, creator of the grand Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina—and was the inspiration behind Avermore fine jewelry.
“The odds of us finding it—it could have been horrible,” Aubrey Vanderbilt Cecil Baliles, the brand’s founder and a fifth generation descendant, recalls. Thankfully, the errant emerald was located, in a butter dish of all places.

The Oscar winner is a media force to be reckoned with in the fourth season of the Jennifer Aniston- and Reese Witherspoon-starring Apple series.
Going into the fourth season of The Morning Show, not much was known about the role Marion Cotillard had signed on to play for her first TV series.

Should You Post a “Hire Me” Video During Your Job Hunt?
We asked some recruitment professionals if begging for employment on main is worth it.
For generations, young post-grads trudging through the entry-level job search have been advised by those older and wiser to “just put yourself out there.” In the past, that well-intentioned (albeit vague) guidance for standing out in competitive job markets meant maybe cold emailing someone in a company’s C-suite to request an informational interview, or pulling up to a business with a hard copy of your resume. But today, that advice might mean hopping on camera and literally begging for a job.

Forget Kim Kardashian, was Cecil Beaton the original selfie star?

Many a figure has claimed they ‘invented’ the selfie. In 2023, Paris Hilton declared, ‘17 years ago, Britney and I created the selfie!’. In 2015, Kim Kardashian produced an entire Rizzoli-published tome – Selfish – devoted to her self-made shots. And two years later at Met Gala 2017, Kylie Jenner’s ‘annual bathroom selfie’ – commemorating a candid moment with a gaggle of Hollywood’s most-in in-crowd – became an instant sensation, garnering over 3.5 million ‘likes’ and sparking countless reproductions from other A-listers and us mere mortals alike.
