Kiehl's over Salvation at last for those who insist on making the trans-Pacific pilgrimage to Kiehl's in New York: the old-school skin-, hair- and body-care 'apothecary' has opened an outpost in Seibu, Pacific Place, Admiralty. Stocking all the star products, from Lip Balm #1 and Blue Astringent Herbal Lotion to Ultra Facial Moisturiser and Avocado Eye Cream, the brand is so confident in its formulations - some of which have been on the shelves since 1851 - that it offers generous free samples (believe me, you'll be back). A selection of Kiehl's products are also available from Joyce Beauty locations.
Livin' la vida logo Cementing its 'new classic' status, Italian shoes and accessories brand Tod's has launched its first logo range. Titled the 'T Project', its treated canvas totes, sailor bags, envelopes and travel bags boast T-shaped weaves for graphic impact and a smart leather trim. Perfect for summer, they come in three colours (cream, grey and pink) and range in price from $3,400 to $5,500.
Small talk
'What I hate is nasty, ugly people. The worst is ugly, short men. Women can be short, but for men it is impossible. It is something they will not forgive in life - to be born short. I have never been friends with a short man in my life. Don't trust them: they are mean, and they want to kill you ...'

Coco's carats Weighing in at 3,500 carats, Chanel's Collection Privee jewellery exhibition is a must-see for aficionados of all things big, bold and bankruptcy-inducing. Featuring 150 pieces, it revisits Coco's favourite themes, including recreations of her fine jewellery from 1932, familiar camellia, comet and Byzantine motifs and, of course, her signature pearls. Check it out on April 10 and 11 in Chanel's Salon Prive (7/F, Landmark East, Central).
