We were hanging at Millenia Walk over the weekend and discovered some cool new openings for bookworms and beauty buffs. Most excitingly, Tiong Bahru's BooksActually (#01-83) has a pop-up store there through February 2015! The range of titles is not as extensive as their original store, but we saw tons of graphic novels, including several titles by local comic book artists. On the shelves are also the retro knick-knacks the back of their TB store is famous for. Just a few shops down is Allscript (#01-73), a tiny little kiosk that stocks all kinds of specialty magazines. We were drooling over the latest issue of food joural Lucky Peach (formerly a McSweeney publication) and other usual indie suspects like Cereal and Kinfolk.

And in case you didn't already know, British organic skincare line Neal's Yard Remedies (#01-75) has also arrived in Singapore, with a sweet-smelling, zen store space also on the first floor of Millenia Walk, a few doors down from good ol' Aesop, and magical-sounding bottles like Wild Rose Body Elixir and Frankincense Intense age-defying face cream. Stay tuned for details.
